Adding a header

I tried to design a layout it was easy to add a header image to! The layout is 700px wide by default, so I recommend you make your header image 700px wide as well. Here is a preview of the layout with a header.

To add the header, find these lines of code (hint: they're at the very top for easy editing) and replace YOUR URL HERE and YOUR HEIGHT HERE with the url of the image you want to use!

#header {
    background-color: transparent;
    margin: 1em auto 2em;
    background-image:url(YOUR URL HERE);
    height: YOUR HEIGHT HERE;
    width: 700px;
    }

Colors used (for easy replacing)

#f45962 · links, journal subtitle

#e15169 · link hover

#9ecf95 · date/time, reply link hover

#7cb173 · reply link

#ca0f0e · module titles, navigation hover

This is just gorgeous. I am using it now and loving it! Your CSS is really clean and easy to read too - good job!

I am having a bit of trouble with the modules at the bottom. In your live preview, you have three columns of modules and also a full-justify section custom text. Mine are showing up in the first two columns only, and the custom text is not full-justify. In the customize modules section, I have them all sequentially numbered. What am I doing wrong? How do I manipulate how these modules display?

Thanks for sharing this beautiful layout, and for any help you can give!
