adding logo to daily miner

[philipg100]

Hello, I have created a child theme from your Daily Miner theme (it's a superb theme!). I am modifying the theme using my own .CSS file and read and followed your instructions regarding adding a static logo (my logo is called nslogo2.jpg) and the logo still doesn't appear. I have commented out the 'rotating' section. I have checked and have all the files in the right place (nslogo2.jpg is in the images folder inside the main theme folder. Can anyone help? See below for the code in my .css file.

/*****ROTATING LOGO IMAGE*****/
/*.logo { background: url(images/logo/rotate.php) no-repeat; margin: 10px; padding: 0; width: 465px; height: 225px; border: 5px groove #666b18; }*/

/*****STATIC LOGO IMAGE*****/
.logo { background:url(images/nslogo2.jpg) no-repeat; margin: 10px; padding: 0; width: 465px; height: 225px; border: 5px groove #666b18; }

Try putting the nslogo2.jpg file in an images folder within the child theme directory instead of the main theme.

Nice one! It worked and apologies for the misnaming of your theme (I just realised,sorry.)-it had been a long day. Thanks again for your help and also for creating such a lovely theme.
One more question if I may- I am wanting to get into web design as a serious business. I have some knowledge of HTML and .CSS (CSS for me is key as it allows me a fair degree of capability to alter Wordpress themes). I used to program in HTML as I used to create software help systems using HTML Help Workshop but I was just tooooo slow. Is using Wordpress cheating?. My aim is to have fast turnaround without compromising on design quality or functionality. -which is what Wordpress does to a tee.I have other web design software which is great for generating CSS code so I don't have to write that either. I would also love to get into creating original WP themes.

I would welcome your thoughts on this matter.

Cheers
Phil

I don't see WordPress as cheating since it is an accepted cms program not to mention it's popularity with all kinds of people and businesses. Creating sites strictly in html was great in it's time, but things progress and php became the new "thing" and software such as WP or Expression Engine become the norm in regards to site creation.

I think you should get into theme development, I'd suggest bookmarking The Codex as an invaluable resourse when doing anything WordPress related. Good luck and remember to have fun with it!
