Hi Folks

In the Bolt template, is there a way to increase the height of the "leaderboard" position. The position's default size is 728x90, unfortunately, I have a graphic that I have to use and I've resized it to 728x209 (the smallest I can get it without it looking disproportionate). I tried putting a height= in the CSS in the leaderboard area, but that moved it up. I need it to move down and the height adjusted to accomodate the 209.

I really want to use this template as it's a relatively nice, but simple site and the template fits perfectly for what I need to do. If needed, I'll be glad to email you the site information and logins. The client is wants it held confidential for the moment until the site is published. One last thing, I also hope to use OSDonate on the site as well.

As always, thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Arthur

Hi Nick

Thanks for responding. Have another small related problem. I placed a graphic in the logo position once I got the leaderboard issue resolved. To get the graphic to show completely I adjusted the "h1.title" to 190px instead of 0px. Now that the graphics fits, I have the word "HOME" in small letters inside the graphic and it seems to be a link that simply returns to the home page. I don't have any menu items setup and when I remove the graphic, the "HOME" menu item still shows-up in the logo position.

Any thoughts?

As always, thanks for your help
Arthur

Hi Arthur,

Could we get a link to the site to take a quick look?

Are you familiar with Firebug? It's great for debugging templates. Here's our tutorial on it:

Hi Nick

Thanks for your response. Yes, I use Firebug and will take a look at the tutorial to increase my knowledge on its use. Unfortunately, I can't send you a link to the site as I have taken it down. The client decided to do something else. Oh well...on to the next project.

Thanks again for all you folks do in training and supporting me...us.

Until next time
Arthur
