   i'd like to add something extra inside div#blog-title - the only way i see this happening is to manually add it into the thematic_blogtitle function in the actual header-extensions.php file.

   i tried copying a version and editing that, hoping it would override like a normal template file...i even tried creating a \library\extensions folder inside my child theme folder and still nothing...

   is it possible, since i shouldn't directly edit the "thematic\library\extensions\header-extensions.php" file, to somehow edit (or add on to) it in a child theme?

   thanks!

   You should read about how to use action and filter hooks in a child theme. In this case, you would need the following:

   function remove_blogtitle() {
   	remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_blogtitle',3);
   }
   add_action('init', 'remove_blogtitle');
   
   function childtheme_blogtitle() { ?>
   	<div id="blog-title"><span><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/" title="<?php bloginfo('name') ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo('name') ?></a></span></div>
   <?php }
   add_action('thematic_header','childtheme_blogtitle',3);

   oh! now that i see it like that, i totally get it! i was thinking that when you use remove_action, it will delete it, making it not useful at all...

   i'm still a newbie - thanks for answering my (now) dumb question!
