It looks like you re-named your logo to "logo-large2-png" and probably didn't make the change in the file ideasgirl pointed out.

Thanks very much for your replies! Actually I did change that piece of code in the /includes/languages/english/sophyblue/header.php file; it currently reads:
// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Debras Glasscraft');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '706px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '140px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'http://www.debrasglasscraft.com/gallery/images/logo-large2.png');
I tried using relative urls and absolute urls, but it hasn't made any difference. For whatever reason, the logo still isn't showing up.
Thanks for the other info...I changed the sidebar and column width, and now those sideboxes show up perfectly. I'm not worried about having borders around the images; I was just making sure that's what they were. But I appreciate the info on how to change them, if Debra decides she'd rather not have them bordered.
Any other ideas on the logo?
I think I've found the problem, but I don't know what caused it.
I did a Show Source for the http://www.debrasglasscraft.com/gallery/index.php page, and this is how the url is reading there:
<div id="logo"><a href="http://www.debrasglasscraft.com/gallery/"><img src="includes/templates/template_default/images/http://www.debrasglasscraft.com/gallery/images/logo-large2.png" alt="Debras Glasscraft" title=" Debras Glasscraft " /></a></div>
I'm thinking that the easiest solution is to copy the logo-large2.png over to the includes/templates/template_default/images/ folder, then change the full url in the header.php file to just logo-large2.png.
Either that, or I could just alter the header image, adding the logo inside it...
Yes, that did the job. If anyone has a suggestion as to why the url got screwed up that way, I'd love to know. Could help me troubleshoot other stuff down the road.
Last question: Do you think the logo should be centered and have a dark background, like the outer pages? http://www.debrasglasscraft.com/new/index.htm and http://www.debrasglasscraft.com/gallery/index.php
If so, how do I do that? I'm guessing I can just add the dark background into the header.png image, no big deal...but I don't know how to center the logo inside it.
Thanks!

Scully good you solved the problem but you went through too much trouble to do it. See, you are not supposed to put the whole link like you did. Only the logo file name, all the references are in place to look for it. The logo file should be on the images folder of the template and on the language file just the name of it.
I suggest to keep it simple and clean, put everything back as it is supposed and just put the logo name as I suggested in my post.

I solved the problem, but I should be able to put the graphic in a place that's logical to me (i.e. my gallery/images folder) and be able to call it directly from there. There should not have been a lot of extra code embedded where it couldn't be seen, forcing me to save the image to a folder that's not logical to me, just to make it work.
I did a lot of graphics work last night, and now the outer site and the shopping cart almost exactly match. Would it be easier to modify the header.jpg by adding my logo, or use a centering command in the header.php file to center the logo inside the header.jpg? If the latter, what command should I use, and where should it go?
Thanks!
