Can we get a link to your site, please?

[EasyCall]

Yes, we need more information. Do you have a logo created already? Where do you want it to go on your website. Is your site built in a content management program? If so, you'll need to edit the template. Give us a link to the site and tell us more about what you want to do.

If you want to change the logo, you can always download a copy of your current logo to your computer, edit it with image program (e.g. Photoshop, GIMP, etc.) and then overwrite the old version when you upload.

Your logo file is located here: http://www.hobimages.com/templates/default/images/logo.jpg

Thanks may I know how to put it in my site?

You would need to upload it via the File Manager inside your Control Panel or through FTP, into the same directory the old version of the logo is stored (posted above.)

If you look at the source code of your site you'll see a line of code that says this:

< img src = "templates/default/images/logo.jpg" width = "236" height=79 >

You need to upload your logo to the public_html/templates/default/images/ folder. If you name it logo.jpg and its size is 236 by 70, then you won't have to do anything else. If it is a different size, you will need to find the template where this line of code resides and edit the size and maybe the name if your logo has a different name.

You'll need an ftp program to log in and find these files. If your program allows you to edit the code on the server, you can just do it there. Otherwise, you'll need to download the file to your computer, edit it and then upload it back where it came from.

What program was used to build your site? Does it have a place where you can log in and edit the template? If not you'll have to do it manually like I mentioned above, but be very careful to not change anything else about the template except for the logo line or things might now work right.

The only required tags for an image is IMG and SRC.. other than that, sizes is determined by the file.

as long as you keep the same size ratio, you can make a picture as small as you want.

say your image file is saved as 6000x1000

You can easily write in the tags width="600" height="100" and it will look fine. Keep in mind that it will take longer to load the bigger image you have. Also, you may want to CENTER the image for people that use larger screen sizes, so it looks about the same.

If your struggling to understand HTML, I suggest you install a web program such as Drupal or buy a nice book, they give you lots of hints and tips.

Follow Up Question, i did upload 275x275 logo I dont know if it works! After I download the logo to Public FTP what's the next im going to do?

[code_m]

if you put a file in "public_ftp" you will need to complete refer to it in your HTML, it's easier if you upload to "public_html" (don't worry, HTML is just a name here, they do not have to be in html format..)

so if your picture (or banner in your case) is in the same directory (folder) as your webpage (say index.html) then you would type:
<IMG src="mypic.jpg">

once you see it on your page you can move the code within your page to make the picture file on your page show up where you want it.

Do I need to delete the old logo coz i already uploaded my new Logo? I did follow the instruction
public_html
templates
default
images
folder

When I uploaded it the Type says image/x-generic
Theres nothing change on my site, The old logo named logo.jpg it means I need to delete this and then name my new logo like the old one?
I am so sorry so dummy here can't really get it. :(

[EasyCall]

Yes, you can delete the old one and name the new one logo.jpg or if you want to save the old one, just rename it to oldlogo.jpg and call the new one logo.jpg. But since your file size is different than the original logo.jpg, I think you will need to find the file that contains the template for your site and change the size, otherwise your logo might show up looking squashed or stretched.
