A very easy way to add a banner to skins like "custom" and other skins who don't use banners in their default design. I'm surprised this is ever mentioned in SET UP INSTRUCTIONS since MOST people want to use banners!

In the folder "skins", look for the page "_html_header.inc.php" and open it with a text editor like Notepad.

(At the very bottom you see the following comment)

<!-- Start of skin_wrapper -->

(After this comment, copy and paste the code below, then change the file name of the image to yours and change the parameters to your own. Make sure the image you use for your banner is in the folder "img".)

<p align="center"><a href="http://www.MY-WEB-SITE.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="img/MY-BANNER.jpg" alt="MY Blog" width="800" height="150"></a></p>
</body>

Okay don't double post stuff. It helps not at all. Plus this doesn't sound right because the basic idea of restoring a title requires restoring the title in blog settings.

So Web420 you should put your title back in your blog settings, then remove the widget from the container. Then check out the blog logo widget in the container you remove the blog title from. I'm pretty sure blog logo will link back to the blog home, which isn't always your web home. If you want to link back to a web home you would probably want to use the free html widget to do kinda like what you did with the tagline.

Be advised sometimes containers expect things to be <LI>s in a <UL> so you should remove or add a widget then do a view source to see the end result of the change.

Thanks everyone!
I got it to work by simply removing the title widget, and adding a free html widget to load my logo image.

Hello people
I want to do the same thing but I don't seem to be able to get my image to appear.

This is what I've done:

Uploaded locmar.jpg to the images directory. Checked the url - the image appears.
Added a free html widget in the Title container.
Posted this html

<p align="center">
<a href="http://www.mywebsite.co.uk" target="_blank">
<img border="0" src="images/locmar.jpg" alt="my web site" width="766" height="117"></a></p>

When I check my site, I only get the alt text.

I've tried changing the path to src="b2evolution/images/locmar.jpg" and "public_html/b2evolution/images/locmar.jpg" but that doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Cliff

Sorry - got it:

src="../../images/locmar.jpg" works.

Don't necessarily copy that though! There's something probably a bit wrong in my paths or folder structure.
