  Howdy!

  Your theme, Hive, doesn’t provide widget areas, and that’s normally where I’d recommend promoting links within your site. There we can add images and make them links, etc.

  If some text is acceptable for the promotion, you could add a Sticky Post, or make a custom link in your navigation menu.

  Could you describe more specifically what you want this banner to look like? We can maybe craft something using Custom CSS.

  For example, since you’re not using the Site Title and Description text, we could use CSS like this:

  div.site-description {
  	width: 728px;
  	height: 90px;
  	content: url('http://placekitten.com/728/90');
  }

  Here’s that code on a testing site running Hive:

  

  The downside to making banners using CSS like this is that we can’t make them clickable.

  Best,
