How on earth do I change the logo? I am using the Lotr theme and I cant seem to find where to change the logo to one i've made.

Also, do I have to make a logo of the exact same size as the one I'm replacing?

There is a Photoshop PSD file included in the zip for the header.

Ok, I've made my logo using the PSD, now how do I get it to appear on my homepage? I've looked and I can't find a feature to upload a new logo.

After you do the edits in Photoshop, you do the following in Photoshop

File-Save-For-Web
Choose all slices and HTML as the file type
Hit save.
Then wherever you saved it will be an images folder, take the images out of there and upload them to themes/lotr/images

Then go to the site and use Control-F5 to force a full refresh.

Ok, you've been very very helpful Mars, thanks!

I've done what you said and it doesnt display right on my site. Heres the address

www.shadesofmidnight.net

It's supposed to say Shades of Midnight but it looks like it's duplicating part of the Image and it looks something like this...

Midninininght

LOL

Im running my display in 1152x864

I didnt change any image sizes or anything What am I doing wrong?

You will need to put the Midnight more to the left, under the Shades....

As your theme is a 100% width it got a Background image as a extension, wich will repeat the "ni" on bigger screans.

Is it possible to change the width of my theme so that it appears correct on any resolution?

When you are editing the PSD file make sure you have it set to Show Slices and keep the edited text within the slice for it.

Will do. Thanks for the advice yall!

It's weird that you have to break up the logo that way. Is that a fault of the theme design or is it like that with most themes?

It is like that for flexible width themes, if you want the theme to expand or shrink to match screen resolutions you have to break up the graphics to do that.

If you want a fixed width theme then you don't have to do that but then you get limited to a fixed width for all of your content.
