New feature: Upload your own banner image

For a while now, we've been missing an important feature: the ability to upload your own banner image for your Our Science Fair website.  You could always change your banner image, as long as the image already existed on another website (typically the banner from your school's primary website).  But you couldn't create your own image on your computer and upload it.  Well, now you can!  The feature is pretty self-explanatory.  Simply go to the Basic Settings page, scroll down to where you see Banner image, and click the Change... button.


In the popup window that appears, click the Browse... button to locate your image on your computer, and click OK.



When you get back to the Basic Settings screen, don't forget that you have to actually press the Save button to apply your new banner to your website:



And voila!  When you go back and visit your site, you should see your new banner at the top:


Note that the banner image we used in this example wasn't the ideal choice because it doesn't stretch across the width of the entire page.  A better choice would have been an image that fits perfectly in the space allocated for the banner, which is 950 x 150 pixels.
