2. Type your WordPress username and password into the displayed text fields, then click the 'Log In' button.

3. Click the 'Editor' link under the 'Appearance' header in the menu on the left side of the dashboard page.
4. Click the 'Header (header.php)' link on the right side of the web page.
5. Click to place your mouse cursor at the top of the header.php web page, above all other lines of code, then press the 'ENTER' key to create a new line.
