Can't see my header

[Purest Light Photography]

No matter how hard I try I cannot get my header to show up. I have tried again and again but I get nothing. I had a banner from a banner making website but wanted to get rid of it so I did. And as of right now all I have is my company name typed in html on my home page. How do I either change the FONT of that or get my my banner that I made on photoshop to work. I have tried all of the different ways to put on a banner/header that smugmug has offered. I even tried the "no banner, slick header". I know I have the photo/gallery # correct because I cut and pasted it. Please help me.

The banner you made in photoshop (http://www.smugmug.com/photos/7587518_JN9N4-O.png) is not available to the public. For it to work in a banner, all of the following must be true:


You must have the right direct link to the image
You must have enabled external linking on the gallery
You must not have marked the image as hidden in the gallery (this is a common mistake - check the gallery it's in when you are not logged in to see if you can see it in the gallery)
The gallery must not be password protected (it can be unlisted if you want)
You must have enabled access to the size of image that you are linking (which is originals in your case).If you can't figure out which one of these is the problem, then please post a link to the gallery that the image is in and I will check it out.

It still doesn't work. There is a big space where it should be but I don't see anything. Thank you for you help.

It doesn't work because the id you picked up is the gallery id, not the photo. You need to reference the photo. Here's what you have for your banner in your CSS:
#my_banner {
width: 900px;
height: 250px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/7594870_Uaig5-O.png (http://www.smugmug.com/photos/7594870_Uaig5-O.png)) no-repeat;
_background: none;
_filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaIma geLoader(enabled=true,sizingmethod=image,src='http ://www.smugmug.com/photos/7594870_Uaig5-O.png');
}
Change it to this:

#my_banner {
width: 900px;
height: 250px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(/photos/491042906_h4tof-O.png) no-repeat;
_background: none;
_filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaIma geLoader(enabled=true,sizingmethod=image,src='/photos/491042906_h4tof');
}

Then go to your header and remove the line
<h1>Purest Light Photography</h1>
to get rid of your text-only banner.

I'm a noob but I just went through this with my site. I looked at your banner info and pasted it into the code I used (which works on my site). Delete whatever banner code stuff you have in your CSS and Custom Header boxes and then...

Paste this in your CSS box:

#my_banner {
width: 800px;
height: 222px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://purestlightphotography.smugmug.com/photos/491042906_h4tof-L.png) no-repeat;
}
Paste this in your Custom Header box:

<div id="my_banner"><a href="http://purestlightphotography.smugmug.com"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="800" height="222" border="0" /></a></div>
If this doesn't work, perhaps there's an issue with using .png files??

Hi!

I am a newbie and I have been searching through all the threads but cannot find the solution to my problem: whenever I go to my website via iphone, my custom banner does not appear and my navbar is just listed instead of in-line. I would like for my site to look the same on iphone as it is whenever I check it through a computer. Please help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Katherine
