Damn Blogger

I've been trying to replace my title with an image title for what has to be over 3 hours now. Sometimes the picture doesn't show. Sometimes I get the blog title and my image title underneath as two separate title sections. More often than not, I get the blog title to overlay on top of my image. It's so frustrating! I've been looking everywhere for someone who has done what I'm trying to do and I have looked at their code and either 1) their image is only a background or 2) their code doesn't work with my blog. I have tried countless modifications to my code. I don't know why nothing is working. I don't know why it's so hard. I don't know why I can't get the damn blog title to not show.

Damn you Blogger! Why can't you work logically? Why can't your help files be useful? Why?
