I made this new header for my blog and I can't get it to work! I thought all I'd have to do is upload a new picture to the header. It's not working! Can anyone help?
It should be very straightforward. Go into your dashboard and select layout. click on edit header, remove the old one and upload the new one. I've found that blogger works better when I upload a photo from a third party photo sharing service like flikr or picturetrail. I'm assuming you've done all this so I don't know what is wrong. Have you checked your file size? Maybe it is too big for blogger to handle comfortably? Don't know if I've helped any.
Is it maybe too deep? I notice that this one is 300 or so pixels deep and the one you have now is around 198.. I didn't write any numbers down.. so I don't know exact sizes. I know all of my headers are around 700 pixels wide and less than 200 deep. Maybe you can try stretching it out a little. I love it!
Dianna, banner.gif has an aspect ratio (w/h) of 3.2; newbanner.gif is 2.1 . If you just replace banner w/ newbanner, it should work but it will be a smaller image. You may want to recreate newbanner in an aspect ratio closer to 3.5.

I have no idea how to change the header, but I really love the new one. But then, I love the old one too.
Good question. I'm just learning this stuff myself!
