Well, it's only taken five years ...

Okay, four years, ten months and eleven days to be precise, but I've finally decided to retire my faithful old orange journal theme and replaced it with a new style and ... *drum roll* ... a banner!

I finally got my arse in gear and figured out (with idiot-proof help) how to add a banner to my journal.

Of course, now that I've sussed out how to do it, the damn thing will probably change every five minutes!

Hey hun,
I've just been over to take a peek and I LOVE the new look and banner. Only thing is that it's sitting to the top left of the page rather than centred over your layout. Not sure if this is deliberate on your part, so here's the coding I've used and my header is centred. Perhaps you could compare it to your coding and see what differs.

.headerimage {
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 1024px;
height: 400px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: URL(http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o799/Wings128/Art/wingsheaderbredo_zps4yvfsy4g.png);
}

Fantastic, thank you.
I noticed that but had no idea how to fix it. I'll go and check my code now!

\o/ Success! :D
Next question, because I want you to be as happy with your new theme as I am with mine. Is the colour scheme the one you truly want or the one closest to what you want? I only ask because I found working my way around the colour codes a nightmare until I discovered this site with all the html codes for colours that you can use to customize. It's handy to have in any case: http://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm#brown

Wow, that's impressive!
I actually rather like the colour scheme I chose, but it would be nice to tweak a couple of the shades to match the banner better - I will have a play with this - thank you :)

Well I had a play, and once I started I couldn't stop!!!! I've altered it so that it better matches the banner and I'm thrilled with it!
Thank you :) xx

WOW! That's gorgeous! :D
I'm so glad I sent you the colour link. If you're anything like me, it would've niggled at you because it wasn't a perfect match, lol.
And you made the banner bigger. I'm thrilled for you too, don't you just love it when a plan comes together ;P

Sorted, thank you!
