Can't seem to figure it out

Post by bethcrook »

So I've downloaded the trendy template and have it 90% customized the way I want it. But the only thing that I can't get to work is replacing my name in h1 with my logo! I've tried everything, have spent hours on this forum and online trying everything and still nothing. I just reinstalled the original index.tpl so it's back to normal. Can anyone humor me here?

My blog is www.elizabethcrookphoto.com/blog
and the logo image is saved in img/newlogo.jpg within my trendy folder.

Thanks in advance to anyone can help me! I'm pretty much frustrated and fed up. :x

Update: When I view source on the page, I can totally see where I need to insert the logo. But none of my files match the view source.

Hi bethcrook

if you can let me know where you want to put it, I'm sure I can help you get it there :-)

Thank you Dave! I want the logo to replace the current header (Elizabeth Crook Photography) text.

Hi

edit style.css
#serendipity_banner - you've got 2 of these in style.css so you might want to consolidate them and have just one.

Set the height of your logo image file.

height: 84px;

set the path to your image

background: url(/blog/templates/mt-trendy/img/newlogo.jpg) top left no-repeat;

that should do it

cheers
Dave
