Stuffed that up!

Edited the header in the layout, to add description. Now lost header altogether. It seems now thinks an image is required in the header. But I don't want an image, especially not one that pushes the blog off screen.

Tried adding and image, and then removing the image hoping it would reset the header. Didn't work. Pressed clear, that didn't seem to work, though not sure what it clears: probably just the current changes. I tried changing to a different template, hoping that would cancel everything and reset, but also didn't work.

I copy/pasted the html edit from this blog, and that for Techstory, and saved to separate html files. Then file compared with UltraEdit and then Beyond Compare.The only real difference is an extra widget in side panel of TechStory, the blog titles, and navigation icon text strings. So idea I had of copy/pasting html code from one to the other, to fix isn't going to help.

Not sure what the html code is doing, but it appears that some where in the system, there is an inappropriate setting for using an image in the header: and by the looks of it, only an image, so no title is displayed.

Checked blogger help system seems several people had similar experience in past 24 hours. The CSS code suggested by someone, doesn't work for me, and I'm not sure what relevance it is to the problem.

The problem appears to be that the editor dialogue box for the header in the layout editor is generating incorrect data settings, and the html nested 'if' statements are consequently executing code for image only display.
