help with a few things

Crypto

Hi, my site is www.tcproimages.com

1-Clickable banner
I've searched through the help files and many threads, but I'm still having a problem making my banner clickable to my homepage. I'm sure there must be more to it than that.

It says to put this in the header..
<div id="my_header"><a href="<A href="http://yourSmugMugnickname.smugmug.com"><img">http://yourSmugMugnickname.smugmug.com"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="605" height="70" border="0" /></a></div>

so I make the changes and and paste this in the header and nothing happens?
< div id="my_header"><a href="<A href="http://tcproimages.smugmug.com"><img">http://tcproimages.smugmug.com"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="751" height="122" border="0" /></a></div>

2- Gallery thumbnails
Is there anyway to resize these or make three columns vice two? Is there any way to move the gallery names above the thumbs? The thumbs are way to small on my homepage. I like it clean, so i don't need all that space.

3- How do you clear photos from the "Most Popular" section? Is my only option to hide, show, or change the count?
Thanks for the help

Ok, I don't know how to paste this in here so the browser doesn't render the code? Maybe you can view the source code at my site.

Here's some generic code. It creates a clickable banner on your pages.
Plug in your numbers and see if this works.

The header code (not head tag box) Clickable banner.

<div id="my_banner">
<a href="http://nickname.smugmug.com">
<img src="/img/spacer.gif" height="100" width="750" border="0" alt="">
</a></div>

Supporting CSS to define image and format banner

#my_banner {
width: 750px;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(/photos/xxxxxxxx-O.png) no-repeat;
_background: none;
_filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (enabled=true, sizingmethod=image, src='/photos/xxxxxxxx-O.png');
}

Make the spacer gif the same size as your banner, it's the clickable area.

That header code is pretty much how my clickable banner is set up. Instead of using IE-only CSS code, though, I first set up an infrastructure gallery and point the img src directly at the banner graphic. Works great.

Thanks for the help on the clickable banner , but this code isn't working. This is the code I foung on my search. The header shows up blank in the preview.
Another question I have, Do you paste the support CSS code into the CSS box on the customization page?

here is a snap of the code I pasted

So are you saying the simple code pasted in the header from the help menu works for you? Any idea why this isn't working for me?

Wait, the simple code from the help menu IS working, but it appears that it has created a blank space beneath my banner that is clickable. lol Any thoughts?

***EDIT**** Ok, I got it. Had to change the CSS to my_header vice my_banner




Can anyone help me with the remaining issues?

Some simple ways are to . . .
A - Turn off the gallery THUMBS option in the gallery customization menu (affects all photos in that gallery)
B - Delete a specific photo then reload the photo
