I was wondering how you add you own header
like on http://www.sean-faris.com/Pictures/
this is mine:

Is it headers you want or a logo/banner replacement?
If it is a banner replacement you want, then you really should consider a different theme. The banner in hardwired is actually a background .gif image designed to fit in a row of a specified height. { background="themes/hardwired/images/hw_01.gif" } I suppose you can replace hw_01.gif with a gif image of your choice and see what it looks like. Just copy your gif file into yourtheme/images folder and replace "hw_01.gif" in your template.html file to reflect the new file name.
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg13x/ <-go here to view dozens of optional themes for coppermine. In most cases, to replace the banner, you would look for this string in your template.html file: { <img src="themes/ } and replace file named at the end of the string with the name of your file. Make sure you copy your image file to the images directory.

if you actually need a dynamic custom header, search the board for this term, as there are several posts already that explain how this is done.
