Default I created a Logo and watermark today but I am wondering....

how I can get it as a header on my website. I am not really computer savy, I know enough to get by but not html code. Can someone explain the process for me? I would really appreciate it. Sorry if this is not the correct forum for this question, I was not sure where else to put it.

I have attached a copy of it so you can see it. Feel free to let me know what you think, I can take it!

My new logo

One thing, I can see traces of the drop shadow (or glow) on your main heart where it appears that you cloned out space for the words to fit. If you look very carefully not all of the shadow was cloned out. Just to let you know before you distribute it.

I'm not experienced enough to say how to get it on your header, so I won't comment. But, if you want just the logo to show your website background and no white, it will have to have been created with the background transparent. Someone correct me if that is wrong.

Simple enough: Hearts are simple and a little tired, but the design idea works. I'd make your second line of text a smaller size font than the first, to place emphasis. I'd also be tempted to have a watermark version that is just the heart with "STARK" as the text. I'd also ditch the glow on the heart: make it clean.

As for adding it into the page, you'll need the following.

HTML Code:
<IMG SRC="/where the image is located/filename.jpg" />
That will load the image into your page.

Hey Mrs. Stark I like your website. You have some wonderful shots. But I have to be honest. I don't like that header/watermark. I really liked OsmosisStudios's idea about the heart. If you don't mind I'll try to make a header and see if you like it or not.

Thank you for your comment, I do have it saved also as a psd with a transparent background. I only posted this one so you could see it . Thanks I will be sure to fix the shadow as well!

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it. I know hearts are a bit tired but I have always had a thing for them, my diamond in my wedding ring (22 years now) is even a heart!
I will also try a clean heart without the glow. Thanks again!

I kind of got carried away, haha. I like the turn out though. Your website has a black background so I didn't want to make the background black. If you like it and want a little something changed let me know! Good luck!
