#branding-inner .container {
	background: url('http://carmenaguirresbluebox.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/cropped-blue-box-4.jpg') no-repeat;
}

The width for that space is 980 x 167 pixels, but you could adjust it by adding width or heigh values if you want.

Here's another question...

With the Custom Feature, is there any way to update the CSS so that the header image is the background for the menu bar?

It sounds like you might have used a larger header image before and now you've updated it.

The suggested dimensions for a header image in the Mixfolio theme is 980 x 275 pixels, did you want it smaller than that?

For whatever reason, the header image on my site, particularly when viewed on a laptop, is huge. Is it possible to shrink with CSS (length-wise, especially) editing? If so, can someone guide me through that?
