Newbie help - changing banner to show picture

Post by pr1mu5 »

Hello,

I'm new to using Serendipty... I tried using various templates in order to show a picture in the header/banner of the front page, but I'm not having any luck. How can I do this manually? Like, what page is loaded when someone comes to my website? Can I manually insert an <img src> somewhere to show the picture?

Thanks in advance for helping out a n00b....

Every theme has an index.tpl file - open it with a text editor. I think you will find what you are looking for there.

Most header images are set in the style.css file as a backround image in .header or .banner or something similar

Along the lines of

Code: Select all

.header {
background: url(templates/your_temlate/img/header.jpg) no-repeat;
}
