Sorry, I know I'm stating that badly. Page is here: http://madeinamericaholidaygiftsandcrafts.com/

First, am I right in calling the red bar with the white text at the top the Header?

I want the words to remain in a fixed location, no matter how wide the window is. In the Photoshop file that I created, the text is centered, and I've also tried it flush left (gets cut off if the window goes narrow). Is there a way to always have it aligned with the left part of the center column?Can you help?

THANKS!! ETA, illustration of what the problem is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pocketm...9426/lightbox/

new to WP, print design background and this is all really new

First, am I right in calling the red bar with the white text at the top the Header?

that is the 'header image' and is a PART of the header. the menus, logos. horbar 1 and 2 and any widget areas or extra html you add to the 'Configure Header Area' all make up the header

go to ago->Header Image and play with the 'Header Image: Alignment' option

You might also create a "logo" with just the text you want as a transparent png file and then set the background color for the header to the red you want. The logo will stay where you want it.

Thanks very much gentlemen! I will try both of those suggestions. MUCH APPRECIATED.
