One common template change is to use your own graphic/image. Simple
graphics (not banners) are linked in the html file. Simply change the
reference to the image of your choice in the html file of your
template. In the adminsitrative interface do this by going to Site =>Template manager and then selecting your template. Click
the icon for html.
Keep in mind that it if it is a different
size than the original image this may change the appearance of the site
in unexpected ways.
Additional information:
The images for a given template are generally located in this folder:
/templates/templatename/images (Substitute the name of the template you are using in place of "templatename").
A
trick for finding the name of the image is to put your cursor over it
and click right. Select view image. This will display the image and
give its full url. Sometimes the images are background images. This is
viewable in Firefox or you can look for the background tag in your page
source.
How to upload an image:
There are many ways to upload images. Which one you use will depend on your host and server.
1. You can use an ftp client.
2. You can use a cpanel file manager.
3. You can use the media manager.
4. You can use various extensions that allow uploading, including joomlaexplorer and galleries.
