HTML for Wordpress?

How necessary is it to learn HTML when using Wordpress? I just want to learn how to put a custom header into all pages using the editor on my current theme called 1024X.

How necessary is it to learn HTML when using Wordpress? I just want to learn how to put a custom header into all pages using the editor on my current theme called 1024X.

Go to the dashboard.
Left column:
Expand the "Appearance" tab on the left
Click on "Editor"
Right Column:
you should see (depending on theme)
Header (header.php)
Select that file
You should then be editing the header.php file, Look for a line like:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

Insert your custom header data directly below that line.
If you change themes you have to repeat the above.

In the alternative you can use a plugin like All in One SEO and it has a place in the plugin options settings to insert custom headers.
