I'll definitely add it to my list to recommend. This theme, however, will require either editing the stylesheet or using a small trick in the header.php code because it requires the HTML styling of the header H1 and .description class to properly align the background graphic. The easiest way is to trick the header.php file. Here's how. In the your theme header.php file, find the area that looks like this: <div class="header"> <div class="subscribe"><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('Add this blog to any reader'); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/rss.gif" alt="RSS" /></a></div> <h1>   <!--<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a> --></h1> <div class="description">  <!--<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>--></div> <!-- Comment this section to turn off the header menu bar or uncomment to use --> You now what to eliminate the code that inputs the bloginfo('name') and bloginfo('description') and replace it with the HMTL code for a non-breaking space which is  . The code you want to change looks like this: <h1> <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a> </h1> <div class="description">  <?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div> So the short, permanent solution will look like this: <h1>   </h1> <div class="description">   </div> OR you can just comment out the php code incase you want to use it later, by doing this: <h1>   <!--<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a> --> </h1> <div class="description">   <!--<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>--> </div> I hope that clears things up for you. And thanks for stopping by. Sara, Thanks for bringing this lovely theme to my attention. I’ll definitely add it to my list to recommend.

This theme, however, will require either editing the stylesheet or using a small trick in the header.php code because it requires the HTML styling of the header H1 and .description class to properly align the background graphic. The easiest way is to trick the header.php file. Here’s how.

In the your theme header.php file, find the area that looks like this:

<div class=”header”>
<div class=”subscribe”><a href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” title=”<?php _e(‘Add this blog to any reader’); ?>”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(’stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/rss.gif” alt=”RSS” /></a></div>
<h1>   <!–<a href=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></a> –></h1>
<div class=”description”>  <!–<?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>–></div>

You now what to eliminate the code that inputs the bloginfo(‘name’) and bloginfo(‘description’) and replace it with the HMTL code for a non-breaking space which is &nbsp;.

The code you want to change looks like this:
<h1> <a href=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></a> </h1>
<div class=”description”>  <?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div>

So the short, permanent solution will look like this:

<h1> &nbsp; </h1>
<div class=”description”> &nbsp; </div>

OR you can just comment out the php code incase you want to use it later, by doing this:

<h1> &nbsp; <!–<a href=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>”> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></a> –> </h1>
<div class=”description”> &nbsp; <!–<?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>–> </div>

I hope that clears things up for you. And thanks for stopping by.

Check it out with the theme anonymous elegance. I tried altering the css as well. No luck! Thanks anyways, hopefully this works with other themes. Unfortunately, this did nothing for me either.

I was thrilled to see this advice. I tried it. Nothing changed. I also see the following code and wonder if that needs to be altered. <code> <!-- Begin navigation --> <a href="/">Welcome</a&g <!--End navigation --> </code> Thanks.Val Hello.
