    Aloha all,

    My customer wants their "Hale Opio..." logo text above the header picture. I lowered the header picture but I need help adding either plain text or the text image of their logo, which will sit above the header on every page. I can mess with the text font, size etc., I just don't know how to plant it in the space above the header image.

    Thanks in advance to whoever can help with this simple task.

    You can add the text using this tutorial. Simply change the hook position to the genesis_before_header hook.

    http://www.briangardner.com/welcome-text-widget/

    So the PHP code you paste at the end of your child themes functions.php file looks like this:

    genesis_register_sidebar( array(
        'id'    => 'welcome-text',
        'name'    => __( 'Welcome Text', 'genesis' ),
        'description'    => __( 'This is the welcome text widget.', 'themename' ),
    ) );
    
    add_action( 'genesis_before_genesis', 'custom_welcome_text' );
    function custom_welcome_text() {
       genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-text', array(
           'before' => '<div class="welcome-text widget-area">',
       ) );
    }
    

    Don't forget to add the CSS code to your child themes style.css file.
