Changing the color of Freepages Banners

The difference is subtle, but you may find one version or the other works better with the color scheme you have chosen for your pages.

If you prefer the default Gray banner, do nothing.  That version will be delivered automatically.

To change the banner from the default to the Green alternate, create a file named "banner_select" containing only the text:

BasicGreen

and nothing else. The file should be a plain text file (created in NotePad or the equivalent) and the file name must not include a file extension, i.e. do not name it banner_select.txt or banner_select.htm(l)

Upload the banner_select file to the misc_html directory in your Freepages account.

This will change the banner for your entire Freepages account, e.g. family_html, genealogy_html, military_html, etc. as well as misc_html.

If your system will not allow you to save or upload a file without a file extension, upload the file with the extension as required by your system, then rename the file on the server. File Manager can be used to rename the file without a file extension.
