    1. Re: [MNGEN] Replacement of mn5.gif image

    3. John your problem lies in the fact that you are linking the image from the state pages rather than housing it on Crow Wing. You need to find the appropriate sized picture and save it to your site and link it on your pages. One thing I will say that the official logo is no longer a banner sized photo so save banner 462 on your site as mn5.gif and all your sub pages should be linked to that. On the index page you will need to replace the banner with the official logo which is square. There is no problem with having the new banner on your page as well but the official logo, named mn5.gif on the state pages must be on your index page. Hope this clears it up. Just change all the sub page links to the banner and fix the index page. You will be good to go then.
