Saving images as a gif enables the use of transparent backgrounds, which display as white in standard Squidoo modules

For banners to go across the full width of a a guestbook module, the image needs to be set at width="585px" , the height is usually 50px or 60 px. Which probably means saving the image on another server and linking to it, rather than uploading it to the Squidoo server. See the example on Where to see great art.

Remember that you may want to leave the main title and sub-title boxes blank.

The Graphical Guestbook Title gives me the excuse to display this sensational image from Lensmaster Flynn_the_Cat:



Now I bet that caught your attention and it is being displayed out of context. Flynn uses it on a lens devoted to paintings using just red, white and black. Go see it in context on her lens red-white-black-artwork

Flynn has pointed out that big graphics like this are best uploaded into the "Big Picture plus Text" module, leaving the Title and Sub-title fields blank, and then positioning a Guestbook module immediately below it, again leaving the Title and Sub-title fields blank.

It can also be quite effective to enclose a small thumbnail. I think this example from my Gardens to Visit lens works well.

It is great to get feedback and any suggestions will be much appreciated.

clickable images

On her lens red-white-black-artwork, Flynn has made the image clickable, as has lensmaster Evelyn_Saenz , who uses clickable thumbnail images in her lens, Happy Valentine's Day, Froggy!

In the forums, some Lensmasters have reported that using other languages has provoked feedback requesting they stick to English! You can get round this by using English in the sub-title or description text box.

Great Guestbook Titles

don't have to look like a Guestbook. You can disguise the Guestbook module so that it can be used for other purposes. See for example the earlier invitation to add an idea to the table of Guestbook Title Ideas; don't forget to leave the title and sub-title fields blank. The essential feature of the Guestbook module is that it uses an html form, which acts like email and allows users to post information to your lens.

Adding boarders and backgrounds

Sojourn tells you how to add boarders and backgrounds in her lens HTML Borders Backgrounds.
