I haven't been adding banners to my batches lately. Just wondering if anyone's been missing them! Also, how have you guys been! Any exciting updates on life? Good and bad are all welcome! :)

I don't use banners in my layout, so I've always just skipped over them--especially when they're the same images used to make icons.

I'd love 'headers!' The bigger size fill the space at the top of your journal.

What's considered a bigger size. I've always wondered.
Personally I like to make them 500 x 300 max cause the images get a little ugly when you stretch them out too much. lol

I think my last header was 800x400 and my current one is just about the same size, but not quite as tall perhaps?

But I like the size of the one at the top of your page too. To me, that's pretty big.

Other: I love them, I enjoy looking at them and I do use them sometimes :) ♥

I've seen people use them as headers, also as their image for their friends only post (without the words). They just add the words in the font and size they like above or below the image.
I've seen some display the banners and film strips on their profile page too.
I know all this because I've asked people when they let me know their snagging a banner. haha I really didn't understand why the heck people needed banners beyond possibly taking them and just cropping them to make their own icons (which makes me kinda annoyed). lol But now I know!

No worries, and you're welcome!
My journal is the same way, so I totally understand. :)
That's the reason for this post. Just wanted to see the ratio of individual who can, like, do, or don't use banners. Just so I have an idea.

I use banners more often than I use icons. Actually, I make headers out of them, combining them together. And sometimes I just keep them because they're so pretty. I definitely like banners more than icons :)

I've seen a couple of my members here make headers out of our icons combining them together. That was pretty awesome, so same concept but with banners I assume.
I will definitely continue making a couple banners here and there to add with my batches. I don't think banners will ever become more frequent than icons, but I will try to keep making banners. :)
