Changing the header in a wordpress template

Go to header.php

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<div id="logo">
  <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
  <p><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p>
</div>
<div id="header">
  <div id="nav">
    <ul>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
           <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>
<div id="page">

then alter the following bit of code

<div id="logo">
  <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
  <p><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p>
</div>

I am going to use a solid graphic as my header so will ask the code to use my image instead of displaying blog ‘name’ and ‘description.
