Changing the Website Header Elements

The site header consists of the following elements:

• Banner. You can do the following to the banner:
  • Upload your own banner image or a Flash file in SWF format.
  • Select and apply a banner from the Presence Builder library.
  • Remove the banner and use a background filled with a color or images.
  • Remove the banner and all other elements from the header area to reduce its height to 25 pixels.
  • Move the banner to the content area and insert it into a specific page or into all pages of the website.

    Note: You can use only one banner per site. If you choose to insert it into a specific page, you will not be able to add it to other pages of the website. For this reason, we recommend that you place it into the site-wide areas.

• Logo image. You can do the following to the logo:
  • Upload your own logo image or a Flash file in SWF format.
  • Move the logo from the header area to other parts of webpages, such as sidebars and content area.
  • Insert any number of logo images into the site-wide areas.
  • Resize the logo by specifying the desired dimensions in pixels, or by dragging the sides and corners of the image with a mouse pointer.
  • Remove the logo.
• Site name. This usually contains a company name or a brief site description like, for example, "John Doe's Recipes".
• Site slogan. This usually includes a description of your site or a company slogan.

To change the banner image or other elements of the header (logo, site name, or slogan):

1. Click the banner image.
2. Select the option Use an image, and then click the image in the Image list menu.
3. Do any of the following:
   • To use an image from the library, select it. To find relevant images, type a keyword into the input box.
   • To use your own image or a Flash file in the SWF format, click Upload, and select the file that you want to use. Images should be in the GIF, JPEG, and PNG formats, preferably not wider than 900 pixels.
4. If you want to scale a banner to fit the header area, select the Fit image size checkbox.
5. Under Show banner elements, select the checkboxes corresponding to the elements that you want to show in the header.
6. If you want to remove a logo image or upload your own logo, click the logo image.
7. If you want to change the site name or slogan, click the corresponding fields on the header and change them as you want.

   To make it easier to see the site name or slogan, select the Outline checkbox. This adds a black or white outline around text, one pixel in width. If the font color in site title or slogan is black, then the outline is white, and vice versa.

   Note that you can freely move the blocks with website name, description, and logo within the header area.

If you occasionally remove the banner, you can re-insert it.

To remove the banner:

Click the banner, select.the option Do not use an image, and specify the height of the header block in pixels. Click OK.

To insert a banner:

Go to the Modules tab, select Banner, and drag the module to any of the site-wide areas on the page where you want to add it.

To insert a logo:

Go to the Modules tab, select Site Logo, and drag the module to any of the site-wide areas on the page where you want to add it. You can upload a new logo image or a Flash file in the SWF format, and align it to the left, center, or right.

You can also resize the logo image by specifying the desired dimensions in pixels, or by dragging the sides and corners of the image with a mouse pointer.

Note: When you resize the image with a mouse pointer, the option to keep the original aspect ratio is switched off automatically.
