The Sandy theme is available from Frank B at franksthemes.

Frank, who claims to be from Zblotnikland, makes a number of nice themes. This theme has a nice, clean look and displays the day, date and time right below the header image.

I've created the Bannerzest banner for this project from some of the theme's stock images.

The instructions are as follows:
Make your Bannerzest banner the width and height you've selected in the Page Inspector. I made mine 900 x 200.

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
Copy

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)



Paste code here
Paste here


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 pageHeader div 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.

You'll need to also add this code to the Page Inspector > Header > CSS panel:

#pageHeader h1 {
margin-top:-200px;
}



NOTE: The code above is for a 200 px tall banner... if you select a different height banner, substitute your banner's height for the 260 in the code above (It is a negative value)

This code places the Title at the correct height (otherwise it wants to display down lower on the page).

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

An very easy modification to a theme with a lot of nice features....and our first from Frank B...... Sandy!
