Thank you, Beth. I followed the instructions in your first message before
your second arrived and had thus already discovered, first, that I didn't
know what the width & height should be and, second, that I didn't have to
use them. I am using Carla's Graphics, the Family History theme, and have
put in as the image "links.jpg". What I would really like would be to use
her "plain.jpg" and superimpose "My Site" on it but that is a whole
different question. I assume I will have to experiment in an image editing
program.

I am now off to add the width & height as per your instructions.
