Switching from logo to text header in BlogOhBlog v2 (3 posts)

    I'd like to give a member blogger the ability to use the BlogOhBlog v2 theme.

    This theme, however, comes with a graphic header. I can edit the Photoshop file that came with the theme, but I'd rather make it easy for any other blogger by switching to a text-only header.

    Here is the code from the header.php file, which seems standard:

    <div id="header">
    	<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
    	<p class="desc"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p>
    </div>

    This is the code from the stylesheet:

    `/*****************************************/
    #box{width:945px;background:#fff;margin:20px auto;padding:10px;}
    #top{width:945px;background:#000 url(i/topbck.gif) repeat-x;height:80px;margin:0;padding:0;}
    #header{float:left;width:440px;margin:0 0 0 10px;padding:0;}
    #header h1{text-indent:-10000px;margin:0;padding:0;}
    #header h1 a{display:block;background:url(i/logo.gif) no-repeat left;height:51px;}
    p.desc {float:left;margin:5px 0 0 0;padding:0;color:#fff; }
    .ads{color:#fdfdb0;float:right;width:468px;text-align:right;font-size:11px;margin:10px auto;padding:0 10px 0 0;}
    #jubow{background:#f3f2ed;height:30px;margin:10px auto; width:505px; float:left; position:inherit;}'

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Does it put the text over the graphic? Is the graphic logo.gif? If so remove the relevant line from the css file

    The structure is the default wp header structure, so converting the blog to use the wordpress custom header api should be fairly easy.
