Do I have this right?

[Mustang Sally]

I want to upload a pic onto the top of all pages (header) Do I go to images and just upload via FTP the pic there? Does the pic have to be a predetermined size? I know this is probably a basic question for some, but I am just learning.

Yes, you can easily do this. Copy/ftp your jpeg to Images/Misc. I found that an 88 height limit works in the banner.
Here's a Header template example that displays a gif if there's no ad logo:
<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]
<else />
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/banner_88x88.gif" border="0" />
</if>

WOW! This is way too easy. I'm sure I'll find a way to mess it up(lol). The pic I want to use is in jpg format, should I change it to gif?

Thanks for the info.

The size depends on your style, if you could link us to that, we could give you a rough estimation of your size limiations.

I hope this gives you an idea.

Nope. jpegs, gifs, and pngs work.
