Can anyone explain why I cannot get my banner to show up as the size I made it? I have resized it half a dozen times, sharpened the image, yet it still shows up blurry & the size displayed above… half of what I want. I even tried stating a size in the header box, but it ignored that as well. Any ideas of how I can fix this? I did not state a size when I uploaded it either. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Well…I looked at the source, I see no reason why it should be being made that small, looked at the properties, which list it as approx 400×176, which is about half the size of what mine usually are, so I “stole” it to look at the actual image, which is exactly the size it is showing up on your page. So, my best guess would be to make it bigger…
No, I can’t….sorry….
Cheryl, I made it as large as 1024 x … It still showed up that small on the link page! What I actually uploaded the last time is 1024 x 450 & is 1.3 meg.
The only difference I can figure may be contributing is that I resized the text area, so the text wouldn’t overlap the border on the right. The other banner was uploaded before the change.
Well that may be it then, the only idea I had was to make it larger, since what I saved as the image this am was the small one that showed up there.
Beats me, too, Pikake. I looked at the properties and it was listed as 468×60 which is the size I’m seeing on my monitor. Maybe xanga doesn’t allow files that are 1.3 meg and ‘adjusted’ it for you. Wish I could help.
Hope you’re feeling well. Also hope Christmas will be wonderful for you.
I came up with the same thought Jane, so reduced the image to a file size of half that, yet still larger than what turned up upon uploading it. It also blurred the uploaded image even with sharpening the image several times.
I’m also quite bothered by the fact that with my banner’s size & blurriness, the pointsettia look like red butterflies!
I’m far from my image file storage limit as well, so that isn’t a factor. Looks like I’ll try resetting the text block size to what it originally was, reupload the image again & see if that fixes the problem. If it does, I’ll try resetting the text block size to what I reduced it to & see if the banner stays larger, like the previous one.
