Does my header and page fit on your browser window?

  • Hi –

    I’ve created a child theme for WordPress theme Thematic, and I need to know if my header image is messing up the width of my blog pages.

    They fit fine onto my screen, but I have a wide-screen laptop and don’t have access to other computers.

    Here is my blog.

    And this is the CSS that puts the image in…

    #branding {
    background:transparent url(images/banner.jpg) no-repeat scroll center top;
    background-position: bottom;
    height:210px;
    position:relative;
    z-index:10;
    }

    I pasted this in my stylesheet from something I read on the Themeshaper forum, because I haven’t learned enough CSS yet to create much of my own. If it needs fixing, could one of you folks give me suggestions? Thanks!

    ohhhkay then. I guess that’s helpful, in a mildly snarky way. Some clue as to what direction I should go would be awfully nice. I’m willing to go learn what I need to, but it would be really great to have some kind of signpost or clue about where to start.

    Is “fluid” the quality I should be going for here?

    Is the fact that my banner image is 940 px wide the problem?

    I wrote 2 paragraphs on how un-snarky my last response, but deleted them.

    That helps. I’ll fix it and see what happens. Thank you!

    If you have an adblock filter in your browser the banner won’t show because you’ve placed it in a folder called “banner”. Give this folder a different name like “images” or if you have an images folder place it in there or a large group of people wont see it.
