I have the same problem. Im running the latest version of Wordpress and Artisteer. I went to those links and my header.php has none of the code that they told us to find so its hard to figure out where to put the proper code. My header.php has only 22 lines of code and most of it is link rel="", no divs. I tried exporting a new wordpress theme from artisteer to see if the header.php would have any of that code and it was the same exact problem.

Can anyone help with this?

Hi guys,

I can help you out. I just widgetized my own own site as you can see here: http://www.cyberhawkdesigns.com .

If you send me your theme zipped via email, I'll fix it up for you and return it with 3 widget areas in the header which is all adjustable through the .css. I will eventually create a tutorial and post it here. :)

Greg

I have a similar issue. I have a theme I've been working on and adding content to and would like to be able to place a YouTube video in the header area.

I have text in the header, but something tells me that there won't be a block or widget space in that area when I import the new theme.

Are you still open to looking at themes with this issue?

I'd love t be able to place the video in the section where the bullet list is, but something tells me it won't fit and I've tried everything I can think of to place a widget or block in that area and nothing's taken yet.
