I have updated to 3.7.9 today and a link has appeared on the left side of the logo area that I don't want. I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

Did you copy your logo image to the new Atahualpa folder?

The logo image is a spacer name originally "spacer.gif". The attached screenshot shows the filename in place this was operating correctly before the update.

Ah! I see what you mean I hadn't realised that updating the theme replaced all the previous files. That despite the clue I got when I uploaded my header. Duh! Thanks for your help.

if you are only using the logo as a spacer, why not get rid of it and position the blog title using CSS?
- no need to worry about updates losing the image
- load time faster one less item to get from the server.

Thanks Juggledad I figured it out.

position:relative;
left:35px;

Something else I've learnt

Anyone else want to do this go to Appearance> Editor> css.php
Scroll to:

/*-------------------- BLOG TITLE -------------------------*/
h1.blogtitle,
h2.blogtitle {
position:relative;
left:35px;
display: block;
<?php bfa_incl('blog_title_style') ?>
font-smooth: always;
}

Change the px to the space you want. I started with 100 which was too much reduced it 40 and then tweaked it to 35.
The tagline is done the same way:

/*-------------------- BLOG TAGLINE -----------------------*/

p.tagline {
position:relative;
left:35px;
<?php bfa_incl('blog_tagline_style') ?>
}

two things,

1) you forgot to tell people to blank out the logo image option (dashboard->Style & edit HEADER AREA->Show Logo Image?)

2) you should never edit the css.php file. Your changes will be lost on the next upgrade.
In this case you should use the theme options
ato->Style & edit HEADER AREA->Blog Title
and
ato->Style & edit HEADER AREA->Blog Tagline

Hope this right this time:

Blog Title

margin: 35px;
padding: 0;
letter-spacing: -1px;
line-height: 0;
font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 240%;

Blog Tagline

margin: 35px;
padding: 0;
line-height: 0;
font-size: 1.2em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
