How to Add a Banner in a WordPress Header
The WordPress blogging platform includes a number of features that let you customize the look and feel of your blog to make it all your own. One such feature is the ability to install themes that fit the needs of your blog. Many of these themes let you upload custom header images, such as banners, that are displayed at the top of your WordPress page. If you have a theme installed that lets you upload custom header images, you can set a banner as your header image just as you would set any other image on your blog.
