Okay, so I wanted to get this new banner up on the site, you know, the one for the Jade project. I’ve been working on this thing for a while, and it was finally time to show it off a bit. Here’s how the whole thing went down.
Getting Started
First, I gotta say, I’m not the most organized person. So, my files were kind of all over the place. I started by digging through my folders, trying to find all the different versions of the banner I’d made. You know how it is – banner_*, banner_final_*, banner_actually_*… It’s a mess.
I picked the one I liked best. It’s got this cool gradient and the Jade logo is nice and prominent. I opened it up in my image editor, just to double-check everything. I wanted to make sure the colors were right, the size was good, and nothing looked weird.
Making Adjustments
Of course, something looked weird. The text was a little too small. I resized it, made it a bit bolder. Then I noticed the logo was slightly off-center. Fixed that, too. Little things, you know, but they make a difference.
After all of those changes, I then saved it with the name”banner_v1″.
Uploading and Implementing
Next, I logged into the website’s backend. I usually get a little nervous around this part, ’cause I’m always afraid I’ll break something. I navigated to the banner section, found the old banner, and hit the “replace” button.
- Selected my new banner file.
- Hit “upload.”
- Waited…
It took a few seconds, which always feels like forever. Then, bam! There it was. But, of course, it wasn’t perfect. The banner was showing up, but it was squished on mobile. Seriously?
Troubleshooting
I messed around with the CSS for a bit, because of course, I had to deal with responsive design issues.
Finally, I figured out I needed to add a media query to adjust the size for smaller screens.
Final Touches and Completion
I added the new CSS and save.
Then,I checked it on my phone, my tablet, and my laptop. Everything looked good! Finally, I published the changes, and the new Jade banner was officially live.
It’s always a bit of a process, but it’s satisfying to see it all come together. Now, hopefully, people will notice the new banner and check out the Jade project. On to the next thing!
