I just downloaded a tumblr theme for my new blog. I'd like to insert a banner at the top of the page in place of the title. I already have the banner I'd like to use but I am unsure of where/how to edit the html so that it appears.
Attached is the html script. Any help is appreciated, I'm new to this.

Use your editor's Find tool and search for "title" and you'll find the spot.
Also, don't use Word to edit HTML. It may do things one doesn't want done to HTML unless you know exactly what you are doing. Use a plain text editor. Notepad will do fine if you don't have something better.  |

I actually wasn't editing it in word, I just posted it here in word as an attachment. Also, I did insert it in the title spot, but it completely messed up the entire layout. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. |

Can you provide the URL (address) of a document that demonstrates the problem?

Here is the banner code:

Do you have a version that demonstrates your best effort at adding the "banner code", so we can see what the problem is?

I recommend that you start by fixing the markup and CSS errors reported by the online tools:

I still see the sidebar where it was before and I don't see a banner??? I hardly see to read on screen anymore and am eagerly waiting for my glasses to be ready, but I think I would see a big banner.
