Just started up my site today and can't manage to find where to edit small details over the main page. For example replacing the text header with a banner. I know the code to do so but can't find the code already embedded I need to replace. I'd also like to do this trick with the buttons but haven't tried so yet. (I wanna replace the header first).

<editing in> Can I please change my user name without starting a new account?

Your Webcomics > Webcomic Management > Webcomic Site/Layout > Edit Layout HTML

Also, PM Kyo to get your username changed (he usually allows it for new members)

He knows that part. How to edit the HTML. Just not WHAT to edit.

Oh?

Well, in that case, for things that are present on every page look in the Overall Layout section. I think that's where you'll need to be.
The text header is a tag like [webcomicname] or something. Replace that with the comic banner image.

I already tried that.

I believe you replace [webcomicname] with [webcomicbanner] or something alike to that.

Well hey, with that layout a comic banner should be there automatically. Just upload one to the comic.

Editing that tag didn't do any thing and there doesn't seem to be an option just allowing a banner to be picked to use for the site. That's why I keep trying to manually code it in.

That you have to do by editing HTML. Just replace the images in there with links to the ones you'd like to use.

Looks great. Now all I have to do is create some new button images. My old hosting service didn't have all the navigational options this place offers.

Thanks!

...This forum doesn't remove threads quickly right? I wanna look at this later.
