Hi there.....
I have the code that i am supposed to use to get a different header image for each category...
According to the author, the following code goes into the header.php file....
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
/* Calls the style sheets for each category */
<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category('3') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category3.css');
} elseif ( in_category('4') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category4.css');
} elseif ( in_category('5') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category5.css');
} elseif ( in_category('8') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category8.css');
} elseif ( in_category('13') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category13.css');
} elseif ( in_category('15') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category15.css');
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/style.css');
}
?>
</style>
<?php /* Calls the header image for each category - necessary code */
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category('3') ) {
$imgurl = "images/category3.jpg";
} elseif ( in_category('4') ) {
$imgurl = "images/category4.jpg";
} elseif ( in_category('5') ) {
$imgurl = "images/category5.jpg";
} elseif ( in_category('8') ) {
$imgurl = "images/category8.jpg";
} elseif ( in_category('13') ) {
$imgurl = "images/category13.jpg";
} elseif ( in_category('15') ) {
$imgurl = "images/category15.jpg";
} else {
$imgurl = "images/all.jpg";
}
?>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
/* Disable the header style in the individual style sheets and embed it here. */
#header {
background: url(<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') ?>/<?php echo $imgurl; ?>);
height: 120px;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100%;
padding:0;
border: 1px solid #BEBEBE; }
</style>***This code above, was taken from this post:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/29434?replies=31
and you can see it in action here:

I want to use this code, at my own blog which is here:
[url] http://wwwza-zi.com/wordpress/ [/url]
I have attatched a text document that includes my blogs php files:
-index
-header
-page
Can someone please tell/show me exactly WHERE to put the provided code in my blog files?
thanks!

Like the author says, it goes in your header.php. It should come after the links to your other stylesheets.
How to get help
tags.
Post a link. If you can't post a link, post ALL your code, both HTML & CSS. No server-side code; just the code sent to the browser.
Use
