Approx max logo image dimensions

[cowboymike]

Hi Jason,
Can you give some approximate max dimensions in pixels for the logo that will not break the layout? I want a larger logo that the sample but I dont want to break the layout either.
Thanks, Mike

Are you familiar with how to use your Google Chrome browser’s inspector? You can quickly figure things out like this by right clicking and clicking “Inspect Element” — Here’s a screenshot of how you could tackle an issue like this: http://picturestack.com/925/419/pMxScreenShot1L8.png

Although keep in mind that the theme is not really designed for a full-size logo, as it is currently floated to the left. This is fine in most browsers, but for example in Firefox, you will have issues as the site scales down. So, you’d need to un-float the logo.

#branding .header_logo { float: none; }

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
