You need to know the height of your header image. If you have it uploaded in <a href=http://www.greatestjournal.com/gj2/image_hosting.bml>the image hosting page</a>, just look at the line of HTML and look at the very last part, where it says “height=(some number).”
After you have that written down somewhere, go to the regular customization page (http://www.greatestjournal.com/customize/), and hit the “Edit Customizations” button.
Click on the “Presentation” tab, and down where it says “URL to an image to be used for the page background,” enter the URL of your header image instead. Save your customizations.
Okeey dokeey. Next step:
Go to this webpage: http://www.greatestjournal.com/customize/advanced/layers.bml
Scroll down to the bottom of the page. You’ll see some
pulldown menus—go to the lower left one, underneath where it says “Create layout-specific layer.”
Where it says “Type:” pull down on the
menu and select “Theme.”
Where it says “Layout:” pull down on
the menu and select “Tabular Indent.”
Hit the button to the right that says
“Create.
The page should refresh, and you’ll see
a new box above underneath a box that says something like “Child of layer
123: Tabular Indent,” and underneath, a row of boxes that say something
like “(some number) || theme || (none)”
Hit the button on
the right that says “Edit.”
You’ll be taken to a
page with a big, blank box that has two lines of text in it. Erase the two
lines of text.
In a separate
window, open this webpage: http://www.greatestjournal.com/customize/advanced/layersource.bml?id=252465
Copy all of the text
from that webpage, and paste it into the box on the first web page.
Scroll down to where
you see this part of the code (it’s right up near the top):
body
{
$backgroundurl
background-color: $*body_bgcolor;
background-position:top center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-top:200;
Where it says “padding-top:200;”
replace the number “200” with the height of your header image that I told you
to find out at the beginning. Don’t
erase the semicolon at the end.
Hit the button on the top or bottom that says “Compile.” The page should
refresh, and if all went well, you’ll get a message at the top that says
something like:
S2 Compiler Output at Thu Jul 14 19:38:17 2005
No errors
Go to the regular
customization area: (http://www.greatestjournal.com/customize/)
Underneath “Step 2,”
down where it says “Themes,” use the pull-down menu and select “Header
Image.” Hit “Change,” and you’re all set.
(As a note, if you use this tutorial, you won’t be able to use any more
of Tabular Indent’s pre-made color themes… you’ll have to hit the “Edit
Customizations” button and change any of the colors you want to yourself.)
