I recently added another Top Menu item,(Shop Now) however, my logo is buried underneath my first Menu item(Home). Can anyone help me move or resize my logo up into the banner area.

You will need to modify CSS and images to make the header area taller so that your logo fits properly.

You can use a tool called firebug which will show you the locations of the CSS controlling it as well as what images you will need to modify. There are some video tutorials on this page:

http://docs.joomla.org/Using_Firebug_Wi ... la_Website

You will need to disable your extension JCHOptimize while you do this so that you can see where the actual changes need to be made.

Thank you Mark. I have firebug and I've tried making the picture smaller and when I do, it cuts off part of the picture. I also tried expanding the header, but when I do it creates a white box around the entire field and does not look good at all. Just wondering what the easiest way around this is. Maybe I'll make the image smaller than 163x162 px and re-upload it and then change the css settings to allow for the smaller picture. Still working, I'll let everyone know if this works.

That's why you need to modify the images. ;)

I reduced the size to 90px x 89px to fit in the header, however the logo is too small now. I tried to make the height taller in the header to keep the old picture, but it breaks up the white border around the header field when I do this. Any way to make the white border continue when I expand the header box?

As I have mentioned already, you will need to modify the images. Take a look at header_l and header_r in firebug which gives you the image locations.

Not seeing _l header. Also when I change the px sizes in the css code in Milkyway css template css, then hit apply and save they are not changing the sizes. Cleaned out cache and purged expired cache. Sorry for so many questions, just not getting it to work.

I just moved the pill buttons over to the right by lowering the amount of buffer and this worked fine. But when I turned my JCHOptimize back on everything went back to the original settings?

Answer, cleaned cache in JCH Optimize. I can live with the new changes. Thanks for your help,

Steve

go to your template.css and create this style
Code:
div#header_r {
    background: url("/templates/rhuk_milkyway/images/black/mw_header_t_r.png") no-repeat scroll 100% 0 transparent;
}
jscss....ype=css (line 1095)
div#header_r {
    height: 165px;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding-left: 370px;
    padding-right: 30px;
    padding-top: 25px;
    text-align: left;
