wordpress Newsmag template title question
Hi
In the Newsmag Wordpress demo page here
it has a nice Newsmag header area
Can that exact header rectangle be a graphical banner I've made? or text only? I seem to remember it being text only.
Can this theme be a blog?
Thanks

Image can work, even when you manually add it into theme
Hi, as Shaun stated above, you can add an image to that header area manually in the CSS (if you know CSS). But, you would want to do this in a special CSS code area in the theme options so as not to overwrite the changes when you update the theme. Most themes have this area, even the CSS area in customizer would work.
There's also a very good chance that you will have an option to upload an image instead of using text in the theme options.
And yes, this can be used as a blog. The demo is showing homepage as a blog. Any WordPress theme can be used as a blog. That functionality is deeply wedded to WordPress.

Not trying to discredit your comment Alicia :) (I agree with the rest) but it is possible to have a theme that does not support blog posts. You have to explicitly add the code into PHP where posts should render etc. when you create a theme

Agree to disagree...
In your own comment you are confirming what I am saying and you do not need to explain how to do this, I have written a few WordPress themes. The functionality needs to be added by the theme developer and can be excluded thus your assumption is not true that any theme with have that capability. Plenty of folks even choose to write static content into their landing pages etc.
It is highly unlikely to see it excluded from a professional theme though

Well, I only build custom themes for my clients. So, I've built more than a few.
Sorry if you took my comments to be directed at you specifically. They were not. When I comment on these threads I do so knowing that other folks will be looking for knowledge so I pack it into the answers. I was thinking of the original poster in my answer, not instructing you.
We are both correct. And neither of us are assuming. I think we are both quite knowledgable in this arena, which might explain why we are at loggerheads and we agree! But, to be honest, for the sake of the original commenter, I'm going to say your answer is more appropriate in this case, since he would have to hire someone like me or you to enable the blog on a blog-less theme. And it appears that he wants the functionality right out of the box.
I'm calling truce. :)
