Question from a beginner -> sorry

    Sorry, I'm a beginner in this forum as well... So first I had a problem with my whole layout after having changed my theme: it appeared all mixed up on the blog - but I could resolve that problem by copypasting the whole CSS-text from one of my other blogs.

    Only now I realised that my header-image is still not appearing (even though it appears on the preview) and my undertitle is gone as well. It's shurely a very easy question for you, but for me it's as a matter of fact quite hard to handle... ;-) Thank you!

    (1) customized header image - css edited blog
    When you css customize your blog the upload for customized headers will no longer work. You must place the header image in the css.

    (2) missing tagline
    Some themes do not have taglines. The Pool theme you have chosen does not have one.

    There are css resources listed in the FAQs http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/08/15/where-can-i-find-css-customization-help/

    There are also resources posted in the sticky posts at the head of the css customization forum:
    READ ME FIRST: What is Custom CSS? http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=3697
