Header

I've spent all evening trying to improve the header on this blog. I didn't really get it to do what I wanted it to. I found a helpful tutorial, but her html code (I think that's what it's called) was slightly different from mine, and so my results are different. I'm not exactly happy with it yet. You see, I have blog envy. Wandering Child and others are so cool. I want to be cool, too. What do I need to do to be cool, Bloggers?

p.s. Apparently the off-centered, pink dahlia on a lime green background in the header can only be viewed if you're using the Safari browser like I am. When using Explorer, it doesn't show up at all. Oh, well...
