This is the Showcase theme from Charlie Lockhart at Blueballdesign.

For this project I made a simple BannerZest banner with 5 solid colored images for a rotating header banner.

Make your banner the same dimensions as the theme's page width you select. All banners and custom images for this theme are 120 px tall.

Publish the site and reveal the HTML

Publish the Bannerzest theme to its place on your server and select "Show HTML" (see Publish at right)




Copy Bannerzest's code to the clipboard

When you click this button, you'll be presented with another window (see Copy at right)






Use Textwrangler to open index.html
TextWrangler

Now we have the necessary code copied to our clipboard. The final step is to open the theme's index.html file with the text editor you've selected, create a new "div" to hold our banner and paste the code in the correct location. To open this file, right click the theme in Rapidweaver's theme drawer, choose "Reveal Theme Contents In Finder...". This will present you with a folder called "Contents". Open it and you will find the index.html file. Right click on this file and navigate to your chosen text editor application. In this example I chose TextWrangler. (see Textwrangler at right)



Paste code here
Paste here


Scroll through the code until you find a place that matches that shown in the photo (see Paste here at right) You want to create a blank line below the div that is called "pageheadershine". You need to create a div with an id of "mybanr"...... LOOK AT the 'Paste here" image and insure yours looks the same! I cannot type the code on this page because it will NOT display! The code you copied from Bannerzest is still on your clipboard. You want to paste it in the right spot. Place your cursor in the position shown. Just paste in the code from Bannerzest by either choosing edit>Paste from TextWrangler's menu or simply by pressing the Apple-v key combination (command-v). Now that your code is inserted, save the file and we'll add a necessary bit of CSS.

Inserting our banner where we did causes the BannerZest banner to display too low on the page. We want to reposition it. Use the following CSS:

#mybanr{
    margin-top:-120px;
}



Remember, when you use this technique and publish your site, send me a link so I can put your site in the showcase!

That was a relatively easy modification.
