How to Customize Your Headers
John asked me how to hide the standard WordPress header type without deleting the title and description from their fields in the Options menu. I did this once with another blog, but realize now that I did it the hard way. After experimenting with the Kubric file (and breaking it), I decided to perform a search. I found this link, which offers a good variety of tips and tricks for your headers. Enjoy!

Thanks again, Deborah. Your tips were invaluable. What I was anxious to avoid was forcing the title and description off the page in the CSS. This is death by a thousand Cutts (sic) with Google, and you get sandboxed for months until you abjectly grovel in the dirt to them. [hyperbole alert].
But the “display: none;” attribute sidesteps that nicely while leaving the data in the code. Great solution.

I’m glad this worked out for you.

Mine wasn’t called header or h1, but masthead. I deleted it and replaced it with the image we now see.

I’ve run into that a few times, although I can’t say which themes they were.
