Dr. Wattz header graphic apparently missing

Hi there,

I am trying to complete the 'customizing wordpress themes' tutorial, and I cannot find the 'Dr. Wattz' header graphic anywhere. I have tried downloading all the tutorial files for each video by clicking the 'downloads' link below and to the right of each tutorial, but I have not yet found a link in which this file features. Might someone know upon which tutorial this mystery file is?!

Kind Regards,

Robert

Dear John Locke,

Thanks very much for this info! I have successfully installed the header graphic onto my site. I still have one other question - in the video 'The main stylesheet' under 'Header Theme Templates' in the second wordpress series, Zac mentions the theme metadata which describes the theme for AllisonGrayce, and instructs us to copy and paste it in from the project files. I checked the project files for this chapter (under the first video), and I could not find this file in there (or know what it was called) where the metadata is located.

Just wondered whether you possibly knew also of its whereabouts? It is used to activate a theme, so it sounds quite important!

Robert.

Every theme has information in the style.css right at the top, that is commented out, but WordPress uses it to supply info when you go to Appearance > Themes. It usually looks something like this:

/* Theme Name: Your Theme
    Description:
    Tags:
    Author URL:
    Theme URI:
   */
