inveostore.com Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 You can place that image anywhere you decide and then you adjust the path in CSS according to the location. Image dimensions are not necessary to specify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpson7647 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 ok thanks, i understand about adjusting in the global.css about where the image is located.but what do you mean about the sizing?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
