Using picture as header without navigation

I removed the Header by going into Elements and created Disable Header. That worked fine. Now I want to have a picture in the place of the header. I can't figure out how to do it.
Hi Linda,
If you don't want the default header, you can create a block element - site header to completely replace the default header:

The layout element would not be required in this case.
I created a new block element and called it "Site Header". Now what do I do? I tried adding a picture for the header but it doesn't show up.
1. Choose site header as element type.
2. Set entire site as location.
Let me know if this works.
I don't see Site Header as an option. Only see Block, Hook, Layout and Header.
Choose block first, then in this block element, do the 2 steps of my last reply.
I choose Block. Then do I give it the name "Site Header"? I don't see an option to select "Site Header". I am new to this and really struggling.
On the right side of the element editor, you can see the option:

Once the block element is created and it's set to entire site, how do I get to the element to select Site Header as in the photograph you provided. If I could just get one page done I think I will be able to do the site.
UPDATE: I managed to get the picture into the header but is there a way to center it above the Content?

You should be able to center the image within the image block's setting:
