Hi,

Is it possible to replace the website name text with my logo? I have it in JPEG and TIFF formats but can't seem to get it to work.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I assume you're using one of the PageKits? Can I ask which one?

We do have some help on this here:

Hi Matt,

I'm using the Hilite page kit. The info you provided is helping me but I don't know photoshop at all so it's coming along rather slowly. Is this supposed to be done prior to making any pages? If yes, what if all my pages are done and this is the last step i'm taking, do I need to start all over?

Also, do you know what the best tool is in photoshop to use for touching up the edges of my logo?

Thanks again!

No, you can do it at any time, although if you do it first you'll only have to do it once as you'd then copy the pages with the logo already in place. It doesn't really matter though. You can just copy and paste the logo code from one page to the other.

If you have jagged edges on your logo, it's really hard to remove them. This can happen if you have a gif with a transparent background that was meant to go on a white page. The dark page of Hilite would really show that up. The best bet is to go back to the original logo and re-export a new version.

There's a lot to learn with photoshop, so take it easy and slow. There are loads of great resources out there, and we have a few beginner tutorials at:

Hello Simon,

Mission accomplished! Thank you for all your help. One last question?

My logo shows in the upper left hand corner on all pages except the index page. When I open the index page in a browser, the logo shows in the upper right corner. However, when I have the index page open on my web editor (seamonkey) the logo shows in the upper left corner. For all other pages the logo shows in the upper left in both a browser and the web editor.

Do you have any idea why this is?

Thanks again for all your help! The articles you pointed me to really helped a lot.
