Edit a Template
Lets put your logo in the top of your template so it's hard coded and non editable by a Block.

- Find the code that says <div class="logo">
- Delete the code inside that div.
- Add the image tag reference for your logo by typing {image:logo}

Refresh the page, and you'll see that your new logo is in the template above the editable region. Easy!

- Your CSS is in a folder called css
- Your Javascript is in a folder called js
