Actually I hadn't changed the header since my original query. I had just done some tests with what Sacredpath suggested whilst at work without saving. Now I'm back home I can do a replacement JPG and see what happens.

#header h1 a

I also looked at http://3songsbonn.com/ and the '3SONGSBONN' text doesn't get in the way of the posts from what I can see. Did you already fix it?

Unfortunately though the blog name logo ‘3SONGSBONN’ (the one that generated automatically when I named the blog) does not move up with the background so it then gets in the way of the posts. I assume I need to move this up somehow also or alternatively I could remove it entirely and just attach the blog homepage url to the jpeg image? Either way I need to locate the ‘3SONGSBONN’ clickable logo link in the CSS. What do you recommend?

If you place it in #header rather than in the h1 selector, and adjust the height of #header, the #container section which includes the sidebar and the content area should automatically move up.

However, if I use a narrower image it just reveals more of the original, rather empty, background image. I want to reduce the headers depth and move the text of my posts further up so that readers immediately see something to read. I guess I need a way to move the original background image up so the blank bit of it would be covered by my own, narrower than at present, logo.

I hope someone understands all that and can help?!
