having trouble with header image

[npage7$]

i know that this is posted in the wrong place. that is my first problem. my second problem is on page 221 of build your own web site the right way. i cannot get the header-bg.jpg to apear in the h1 area. the result i get is a large white border on top and bottom of h1 and some lowering of the h1. here is the css i have. im sure i have screwed it up by now. also i tried to just copy the correct code from the archive but i get a wrapped around continuous code and not sure how to plug it into a new css file. im stuck. thanks to whoever will look at this for me.
