Hi 
I want to place my own customized banner/header at the top of the blog but when I try to insert a picture it goes too large. How do I know the size and format that I can use?
Thanks a bunch for any help you can offer.  |

Hi Deborah... Where are you inserting it? I mean through editing your HTML? You can use any size, but when you put it in, it's going to be whatever size you made it. If you want it smaller, you'll have to adjust the dimensions in a program like PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro.

| I guess I don't know the answer to that. I am thinking I need to learn HTML (which I don't know). I was trying to insert it through the changing layout setting, thinking I could just upload something from my computer. |

Well, if you want to try managing your HTML, you can do so, just be sure to save a back up of your template which is right at the top of the screen for editing your template HTML. That way, if things go completely wonky, you've got a back up of something and don't have to start from scratch. Before you do that back up, though, tick the box beside Expand Widget Templates.
Once you have that done, scroll down until you find this:
#header {
width:675px;
height:272px;
margin:0 auto 0px;
background: url(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f124/CatsSapphire/TitleBanner-1.gif) no-repeat;
}
You see where that URL is for my graphic? You'll need to put the URL of your graphic there.
You can host photos for various use on Photobucket.com as I have. It's free and you get a fair amount of storage space. You might want to set up an account there before you do anything else.
If you need more help, I'll do my best.
