The problem: Wordpress displays the title of a blog in the header section even if there is an underlying graphic that is meant to replace the text title.

The solution: In the template being used, add the following line anywhere in the style.css file:

#header h1 { display:none }

To be sure, there are other methods of removing the textual title, but they have their problems. For instance, just deleting the title name from the Wordpress admin interface has the effect of displaying no title name on the browser window and the title will also not show in search engines and rss feeds. Another possibility is editing the header.php file to remove the title display, but again, the browser wouldn’t display the title either. Editing the css rather than the php has the benefit of having no bad side-effects.
