Hi Dave,
I just use paint to make banners and have not had a problem pasting an image just be sure to make your canvas 468 x 60 pixels.
Cheers Rob.

The way I do it is to create a blank banner sized template "frame", then I open that and paste in my image. If the image I'm pasting is larger than the template, my software gives me a message offering the alternatives of resizing the frame or leaving the frame and moving the image around "behind" the frame until I'm happy with it's positon. When doing that, I either trim it to fit, or resize it. Be careful when you're resizing, because it's too easy to distort your image.

Richard, my template is 450 X 87 but yours would work better. It seems that the banner size has been one of the recent changes.
Dave, you need to have your image hosted somewhere, but it should be the banner image. If you make it up locally on your own computer, then host the final banner it will work.
