Have any of you seen or heard of the British sitcom "I'm With Stupid"? The Farrelly brothers are trying to develop it into an American show. But they're going to have to do a major overhaul of it because as it is it doesn't translate to American audiences well.

Could someone instruct me on how to put up a banner on my LJ? What size does one have to be?

You mean a header, right?

Well, good thing is, your current layout is the easiest one to put a header. Here are two links thazt should really help you: here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/s2flexisquares/3536.html) and here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/s2flexisquares/130476.html).

Thanks for the links, but I just don't understand the instructions. :(

I think that now, you just need this part: .headerimage {
position: relative;
width: 500px; /* Width of the banner, in pixels */
height: 220px; /* Height of the banner, in pixels */
margin-left: auto; /* To center image leave as auto */
/* To right align leave as auto */
/* To left align change to 20px */
margin-right: auto; /* To center image leave as auto */
/* To right align change to 20px */
/* To left align leave as auto */
margin-bottom: 20px; /* Space between bottom of image and outer box of style */
background-image: url("http://pics.livejournal.com/cyrnelle/pic/0000xh6c"); /* Header image URL */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Just change the width, height, left/right align, and margin-bottom to what you want, and replace the url by the url of your banner. And copy-paste this in the Custom CSS/Custom Stylesheet.

That should work. If it doesn't, tell me, and I'll do a .txt for you. ;)

*facepalm* I have now somehow screwed up the look of my journal. And still couldn't get a header in. I swear I need someone sitting next to me pointing to what I'm suppose to do. I'd appreciate all the help you can give me. :)

Well, I fixed it back to normal, but there's still no header.

[vickysg1.livejournal.com]

Ok. I'll do it for you. Just a question, though. Do you want to keep those colors for your LJ?

ETA: another question, width and height of the header you want to use?

[sg-lab.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'd like to keep the colors. The dimensions are 502x154.

Thank you so much for your help, Vicky. (hugs)

Ok, I'll try to do it later.
