I've successfully added an image to the page header using this post:

http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/d9a41654767378a1/104d8a74bfbe8dd2?lnk=gst&q=sitetitle+image#104d8a74bfbe8dd2

However, I'm having trouble moving the SiteTitle & SiteSubtitle. I'm
not that familiar with CSS & html, so try and explain it a little more
simply or post some sample code please. I would also like to change
the color of the SiteTitle and SiteSubtitle. I'm assuming all of this
can be done by injecting code into the StyleSheet tiddler?

I created a showcase TW with all themes and customizations I got hold
of - and particularly its SiteTitle tiddler might be of interest to
you - as it contains different ways of having an image in the header
together with adjusted titles.

Since this TW grew to 3.7 MB here its download link:

Generally I consider it a bit more straight forward to change the
appearance of the SiteTitle and SiteSubtitle in their shadowed
tiddlers themself:

@@color(#000):SiteTitle@@

Thank you so much. I'm actually having trouble getting the banner
image to show all the time. Currently I am using the ImageSizePlugin
to get the image to resize itself depending on the size of the
monitor. I want the banner to stretch all the way across the page,
not leaving any borders. I'm having issues where the image will show
up when I first load the http page, but then disappears when the page
is reloaded.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TiddlySpot's faq (titled 'StarsTheme' in my collection) or Osmosoft
com ('OsmosoftTheme') come to my mind, which use an image across its
whole header width without using ImageSizePlugin - which might have
difficulty with a refresh. Take a look how it is done there.

I will definitely take a look. Thanks again and I will post if I have
any more questions.

How do you use ONLY the stylesheet without having to enter code into
the SiteTitle and SubTitle?

Take a look at the discussion of this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/a0b63ffc88a0f6e0/172c62e8ce05ca92?lnk=gst&q=tiddlerCSS.html#172c62e8ce05ca92

- and this sample TW:

http://fnd.lewcid.org/tmp/tiddlerCSS.html

though it explains how to use only the tiddlers themself for adding
style definitions - if such definitions for specific tiddlers are
added to the SheetSheet alone it should work the same way.

W.
