Another great feature in Twenty Ten is the header uploader, which allows you to upload new and unique custom header graphics for your WordPress site. Twenty Ten comes preloaded with eight default header images. To install one, follow these steps:

  1. On the WordPress Dashboard, choose AppearanceimageHeader.

    On the Custom Header page, the settings for the header image feature appear.

  2. Scroll to the Default Images section, which shows the available header images.
  3. Select the radio button next to the header image you like.
  4. Click the Save Changes button.

  2. Scroll to the Upload Image section shown in Figure 1-6.
