How can you change the header image in the genesis framework?
In Genesis theme settings, I changed the header setting to image logo.
I can't figure out how to upload my logo now?
Please help.Chris
http://marketing2.caYou would go to Appearance > Header to upload our logo.

I went to the site you posted. You have the default WordPress theme in place. Please activate your Child Theme so I can see what you are using.

Hmm I uploaded the Genesis 2.0.1 framework, was planning on uploading a child theme, but I love the minimal look of the framework. Is it possible to use the framework as a child theme?
No, never use the framework. You should download the Sample Child Theme file and use that. When the framework is update, it will wipe out your changes. The Sample file should be available in your my.studiopress.com download area.

Ok, so the Genesis sample theme can be uploaded like a child theme?
If so, will the child theme have the header upload option?Yes, install it as a theme and activate it. Once you do, look under Appearance. If you don't see Header - then come back and add this snippet to your Functions.php file which will put it there. You can adjust the numbers to the size of your logo.
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 'width' => 960, 'height' => 200 ) );

You will need to add the responsive code to your media queries.

Ok, I tried that, the header was able to upload, but looked terrible. Way off center. Tried to adjust CSS but couldn't find it with the firebug inspector.
Just want the header to fit in.
Is it really possible to use the genesis framework? when I tried to upload the sample it worked, but when I tried to re upload the framework twice it didn't let me.
Do I need to adjust anything in the CSS to make this work. Just want the header to be centered look good. Why can't they make it more simple for non-designers?
See what I mean
http://www.marketing2.caWell, the Sample is just a sample - it doesn't have any bells & whistles to it so more experienced designers and developers can use it. If you want something with more flexibility, then you might want to start out with a child theme that more closely resembles the look you are trying to accomplish and then customize that. You will need to modify the style.css for the logo / header you choose to use - for any theme you get. There is no way that SP or any Genesis developer can create a theme that is going to work for every person who wants to use it. I've realized that through the many people who contact me about wanting customization services, a responsive header or logo or who say it doesn't look good on this mobile device or that. Each person has to customize their sites to fit their needs. It's just not as simple as a plug-n-play type thing.

OK,
I think I've figured it out.
Just had to add some CSS styles to the correct area.This is the code I added to get the result I desired
.site-header {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border-bottom-left-radius:3px;
border-bottom-right-radius:3px;
border-top-left-radius:3px;
border-top-right-radius:3px;
margin:0 auto;
max-height:160px;
max-width:1140px;
padding-top:40px;It still gets messy when I resize the screen.
Should I add this code to the media section, or is there different code to make it mobile responsive?marketing2.ca
You need to add it to the media queries also. I went to the site and i don't see it there.
