  Pretty self-explanatory thread title, just wondering if its possible to insert a side-bar banner within the Regulus template framework. Thanks.

  Not sure what you mean by “banner” but you can put images in text widget.

  If by banner you’re talking about an advertisement, then no.

  What do I mean by banner? Come on man, a standard website vertical side-banner. Not a banner ad, just an image.

  Anyway, you say I can insert images using the text widget, how do I go about doing this?

  Thanks.

  Come on man, never heard it called a banner around here. Images you can put in text widgets but be careful on width or it will break the layout.

  Wow, That’s quite an attitude for someone asking for help. Have you tried using that big search box at the top of the forums?

  Thanks sacredpath. So just link to the image in the text widget and it’ll appear? Any way to find out the maximum potential banner dimensions?

  Not that I know of for the sidebar area and each of the themes is a little different. You might have to experiment a little. I’d start out at 150 pixels and work up or down from there.

  I just looked at the CSS and the sidebar input area is listed as 110 pixels for Regulus.

  According to this, the max image in the sidebar is 200 pixels. Of course, that could have changed with the various updates.

  @vivian
  Thanks, I thought that was a little narrow and didn’t think about looking at the theme reviews.

  @hanso
  You are welcome, and happy blogging.
