Re: Uploading custom banner
Are you talking about for your http://www.loveitshop.com site? I'm a huge fan of this site Tracie... it's simplicity really draws the visitor's eyes to your stunning products. personally I wouldn't add any custom template. If it's just a logo or a small banner then you could try using the place you found to add it yes. Been a long time since I used Soho but I don't think you'd do any damage by trying, and the best way to learn is by experimenting.. But I hope you don't lose the look and feel of your site, it's something to be proud of. For the type of product and image you appear to be seeking I think it suits it 100%. Sometimes people try too hard to make the 'perfect' website.
Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
