You need to create your own template and upload the image you want to use as the logo. It sounds more complicated than it is.
For the time being, you can use the list below as a guideline. You don't necessarily have to change all the files, but try creating the folders and copying the files. Edit includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php to change the logo info.
To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:
- includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
- includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
- includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php
- includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css
Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.
Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.
When changing php files, use a good text editor like Notepad+ or Crimson Editor. You'll need an FTP client to copy the changes to your website. Filezilla and SmartFTP are both good. All are free on the net.
