Ok, thanks I'll try it out. I'm working on a new blog and decided to build the theme from scratch to get a little more used to working with php and style sheets. With that site I just tweaked a theme I found, but building one from the ground up is helping a lot and once I get a better grasp on it I'll go back and do this. I may go back and redesign the theme for this blog completely some day, but the thought of that makes me kind of nervous right now lol.

I hope this helps you... I have a new blog in the works, done in css and using wp and the banner at the top was done this way, I am copying here the code for you. It was done by a pro but I haven't seen him for a while and have a little prob. So, the code.

<body>
<div id="Content">
<div id="container">
<div id="topbanner">
<a href="sponsorurl" target="blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/banner.gif" width="468" height="80" border=1></a>
</div>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/header.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="118" border="0" usemap="#Map" />
<map name="Map" id="Map"><area shape="rect" coords="68,26,408,101" href="mysite" />
</map>

good luck! sponsorurl and mysite was added by me now

Thanks man! I'll give it a shot. I kind of put it on the back burner for now cause I've been busy with other projects, but I still would like to stick a banner in there
