handy hint #1

I was doing a site a month or so ago now and the woman kept telling me a banner image wasn't showing on her machine. It was driving me crazy 'cos everything showed fine on any machine I used.

Anyway I think I've just realised the problem.

I know a number of people who use banner in place of where I go with masthead. I’ve encountered problems with ad-blocking software that kills images with “banner” in the file name so I try to avoid it.
My file had a #banner id. Solution - don't use an id called banner.

My work here is done.

Yeah, I wasn't too bad really. Afternoon drinking makes everything go a bit fuggy if you stop at 7pm.

Handy hint #2 - Best to carry on drinking.

Why would anyone call their mastheads (and other legit images) banners anyway?

On the other hand, if it is a banner, let it be blocked if thats what the user wants.

- or is forcing ads down your client's users' throats to be the new black?

because that's what it was.

naming it banner made me think that if I went back to it later I'd think, oh, I named it banner, that's what it must be....a banner.

I guess, but then this was just a banner, not a banner ad. We could go on all day.
