IDblog ... an information design weblog

More on the banner

In response to my comment earlier about my wide banner, Andy Edmonds suggested I simply make the width of the image 100%. I thought the resulting browsing scaling would be horrible, but after testing it out, I wonder if this isn't a better solution.

I'd leave it the way it is - the resulting CSS scaling looks crappy IMO.

Yeah, using the browser to scale an image is a bad idea unless you're dealing with single-pixel images. You might try making the gray "information design" text a tiled background that goes all the way across the page (regardless of screen width) and the "IDblog" a separate GIF that sits on top of it.

Thanks. I've returned it to its original form. Will play around with it again when I have some time.
