I made a banner for Tales of the Atomic Zombie, and I eagerly uploaded it to the site. Then I poked around the site’s control panel to find where to change the page templates to include the new image.
No such luck. Because I use a free account I can’t change the actual pages, only change colors and add links. It’s possible that there’s a different template that includes space for a custom banner; I’ll dig through the collection of available templates to see. I may have to shell out a few bucks for one, but that’s okay. I love this banner, and I’m really proud of having drawn it myself.
I mean, look at this thing. Awesome, right?
Awesome atomic banner!
Anyway, don’t be surprised if the look of the site changes in the next month. It’s time to make these pages atomic!
Tales of the Atomic Zombie 
Some templates certainly do – the one I use for Yes, I Know allowed it, which is why I have The Brain From Planet Arous on the masthead, rather than Casshern. Template’s called Neo-Sapien, if that’s any help.
And now I have a place to start looking. Thanks, Doc!
the 2011 theme will let you have a custom banner as well, best of luck!
Yeah, all the templates I use for the Morgue and the Poster Archive are free, too, and they allow banners. On mine, if you go to the dashboard / appearance / header if that helps. On mine it gets a little squirrely if you don’t remove the text title before importing the image.
Thanks, all!
I did some poking around, and Twenty Eleven seems to be the best free match for the kinds of things I want to customize.
Now to find the time to switch. š
