The problem is that Wordpress is printing out the letters &,n,b,s, and p and not interpreting it as a blank space. Here's a screen shot of what happened when I entered   into the widget title:

The image appeared (YAY

) but the text is there...I feel like we are so close to the solution.

I found searching Google for "CSS Image Replacement" retrieved helpful results.

So I tried using technique 3 from this page:

Code:

<h1 class="technique-three">
	CSS-Tricks
</h1>

Code:

h1.technique-three {
	width: 350px; height: 75px;
	background: url("images/header-image.jpg");
	text-indent: -9999px;
}

Yet that didn't work either as again Wordpress is not accepting "<h1 class="technique-three">
CSS-Tricks
</h1>" as a valid title and instead strips the tags and outputs "CSS-Tricks". How can I bypass the title box in the widget area? I'm wondering if there is a file I can pull up and manually insert the title there? Yet how would this affect updating? Hmmmm...
