The Franchise theme is available from Gary Byrd at rapidweaverthemes.

I've created the Bannerzest banner for this project with the 5 stock, colored images from the theme. I've used Bannerzest's TextSlideShow theme which is available only in the pro version of the application.

The instructions are as follows:
Make your Bannerzest banner 834 pixels wide by 200 pixels tall. The reason the banner is 834 wide is that the Rapidweaver theme is 840 pixels wide and it has a 3 pixel wide border on each side so, 840 - 3 - 3 = 834!

Publish the site and reveal the HTML

Publish the Bannerzest theme to its place on your server and select "Show HTML" (see Publish at right)




Copy Bannerzest's code to the clipboard

When you click this button, you'll be presented with another window (see Copy at right)






Use Textwrangler to open index.html
TextWrangler

Now we have the necessary code copied to our clipboard. The final step is to open the theme's index.html file with the text editor you've selected and paste the code in the correct location. To open this file, right click the theme in Rapidweaver's theme drawer, choose "Reveal Theme Contents In Finder...". This will present you with a folder called "Contents". Open it and you will find the index.html file. Right click on this file and navigate to your chosen text editor application. In this example I chose TextWrangler. (see Textwrangler at right)

Scroll through the code until you find a place that matches that shown in the photo (see Paste here at right) The code you copied from Bannerzest is still on your clipboard. You want to paste it in the right spot. Place your cursor right after the "%" which follows "logo" and paste in the code from Bannerzest by either choosing edit>Paste from TextWrangler's menu or simply by pressing the Apple-v key combination (command-v). Now that your code is inserted, save the file and view the results.

Remember, when you use this technique and publish your site, send me a link so I can put your site in the showcase!

I can't believe how easy this one was!
