Well, tried and tried to get a banner up but no luck. I have pasted the text to the css box, changed the height and width. Found the url for my banner per the instructions and pasted in. Copied the text to header. All I seem to have accomplished is creating a space for the banner its just not there. I have set external linking to 'yes'.

Hmmmmm. I'm stumped. Any ideas what I did wrong??

Thanks for any ideas. I'm about to scream so I'll go out for a walk.

Move the banner div to the top if you want it above your nav and you can
delete this first part if you don't want it.

<div align="center">
<h2>Mark Stanley Photography</h2>
</div>

<div id="my_banner"></div>


Change the XO in your CSS to just O. btw, you don't need the whole link
just the relative part to your site.

#my_banner {
width: 750px;
height: 204px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(/photos/254828114_sEK3n-O.jpg) no-repeat;
}

Same with your nav html, switch to relative links. Youi can leave
off the http://markstanley.smugmug.com part.

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a>
</li><li><a href="/gallery/xxxxxxx">About Us</a></li>
<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/xxxxxxx">Links</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/xxxxxxx">Guestbook</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

For the about, links and guestbook take a look here (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/3819841_ywRwQ). One option for those
type gallereis.

Thanks Allen, it will be tomorrow before I get a chance to try to get it running right. This code gives me the creeps. Do you remember Fortran language and punch cards? Thats what it all reminds me of. Mark

Yal, I remember O's have slashes.:D At least in Fortran 4.
Also remember dropping a box of them, ugh!
