If you do decide to tweak it I know of a horizontal night card and a Dodger Hall of Famer card that should be in a package for you. <br /><br />I'm planning on tweaking my banner too.

I'm surprised you put Mr. Met over one of the Stadium Lights cards, even if it is a good night card. You may still want to shrink it down a bit more since it feels more like a front page than just a top image. On a card-by-card basis, Chicle is fantastic. It wasn't exactly consistent in art style, but I like the variety. It's probably not worth the effort, but I would have put the white-bordered Jackie between the black-bordered Fregosi and Halladay cards. I like the banner though!Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-65147021003292018022011-10-30T17:32:55.724-04:002011-10-30T17:32:55.724-04:00No!!!.

There's too much going on, and it is pretty jarring right off the bat.<br /><br />I'm more of a code guy than an image guy, but I know the image can be resized easily in a photo editor. I don't know much about whether blogger has a place where you can decine the size of the header image or not. If it's in an image tag or if you can use CSS on it, then yeah... it can be resized easy without further editing the image.<br /><br />Although, I suggest you make it less... less... all over the place. If the blog title was above or below, or somehow slipped in between cards or something, I think it'd be a lot better. You know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
