Insert Images
You can insert images in the header area, the main content area, and the third column callout box of any page. When using your own photos, they should be saved as JPG's, GIF's or PNG's at a resolution of 72 dpi (although note that Internet Explorer 6 does not support transparent PNG files.) We recommend that images be cropped in advance. Note: most people use Photoshop to pre-size their photos.
Recommended size for images in the main content area
Two-column template - 300 pixels wide.
Three-column template - 200 pixels wide.
Required size for header images
Header images- 748 pixels wide
Header images must be pre-sized to a width of exactly 748 pixels at a resolution of 72 dpi. We recommend that they do not exceed a depth of 330 pixels.
Please see the instructions to add a header image.
