Hi, just signed up for a trial account. I created and uploaded a banner image (dimensions: 801x175) but it doesn't fit across the page.

What should be the size (width) of a banner?

Many thanks

801 pixels wide seems a little wide... Since you can never know how wide your user's monitor is, it's best to err on the conservative side and use a banner that is smaller than what you think is the lowest common denominator.

These days you can assume the lowest common denominator is an 800 x 600 monitor. That would give you about a 750 pixel width in the browser window, so if you use a banner image no wider than 750 pixels your banner should fit on most of your visitors screens.

Thanks for your help John.

I changed the background colour and set the width of the blog template and my banner to 750 pixels.

Everything's fine (except there is a bit of the original background colour around the sides of the banner, even though the template and banner width's are now the same.
