Does anyone.....

...know how to put up a banner?  I've found one I like, I just can't work out how to put it up.

It's highly frustrating.

I would be eternally grateful for the help.

Hey. :)

There's a bit of code that you can paste into the "Custom CSS" section of your Customize Options:

.headerimage {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-image: url("");
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

You've got to substitute the actual pixel height of your image for the '0' in the fourth line, and similarly set the top and bottom margins as many pixels as you want, and then you insert the url between the "". I have the width set to 100% since my banner is the same as my journal width, but if your banner is smaller you should probably set the width in pixels there instead (like for the height.) Then you just hit save and the banner will hopefully show up. :)

Thank you very much for your help. I'm still toiling away but you have helped a lot.

(Here's a plate of cookies for you!)

Thanks for the cookies! :D And if there's anything specific you're wondering about, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm far from an expert, and don't know so much beyond how I've designed my own journal, but I'm happy to try to help.
