Hey all,
I'm using the "simple" template. Problem is, so is everyone else. I love the template, so using something else isn't an option. So, how can I basically replace the default menu bar (Photoblog name, browse, about etc) with my own graphic?
Thanks!

read the tutorials in the forum, there is a section for tutorials . ;=)

you must edit the file image_template.html

Hey, sorry Connie... didn't realise it was in the wrong section. I looked through the forums and couldn't find anything applicable. I know I need to edit the image template, but how do I get rid of the top bar... I know nothing really about CSS...

this is no CSS, you wan to remove parts of the image-template

<div id="navigation">
<h1><a href="index.php" title="Return to current image"><SITE_TITLE></a></h1>
<span class="menu">
<a href="index.php" title="Return to Homepage">Home</a> |
<a href="<SITE_BROWSELINK>" title="Browse">Browse</a> |
<a href="index.php?x=about" title="About">About</a>
</span>
</div>

this is part of the image-template

if you take out everything what I marked orange and replace it with a graphic you get what you want.

But you will loose a part of the functionality, you should place these links elsewhere in your template.. if you take it from the top

Thanks!! I noticed that the links in the menu bar arent "real" links. So in my graphic, can I put a link simply pointing to http://epicwelshman.com/index.php?x=browse for example, or do I have to do something else?

yes, http://epicwelshman.com/index.php?x=browse will point from any website to your archive
