Header Image Duplicates

[Guest]

Our header image duplicates. How do you get the second image off?

I support the answer but there is an alternative.

Your image is 390 pixels wide. The original version of the image (topHeader.jpg) was something like (from my memory, so check the fact) 754 pixels.

So, if you rework your image to the original width, it will fit.

BTW, your image is 147 pixels high. This is a common design error of those using a high resolution large format monitor. There are still many CRT monitors out there running standard resolution screens (800 wide by 600 high).

By the time you account for a typical user's cluttered browser, complete with both Yahoo and Google Tool bars and various other bars, top and bottom, that 147 px may be 1/3 or more of the screen. When you realize that it takes up that space on EVERY page of your web site, you can see how tiresome it will be for a user to be forced to scroll down to see much.

At least half of that space - and maybe even 2/3rds of it - could be more effective as real content.

Aside from that issue, what is the point of a huge billboard? To let your visitors know they are on your page? You will not see a 147 px high banner across the top of any major web site. They know that all that is required is a modest logo in the upper left corner of every page.

For example, see:

www.amazon.com (logo - 47 px high, the rest of the banner put to active use)

www.nbc.com - looks about the same size, too

www.ebay.com - 45 px high

they know something worth emulating. It's known in some circles as "less is more."

Hope that helps.
