Different banner on home page

Question

How can I have one larger banner on the home page, but a smaller banner on all other pages. My home page is actually a page (as opposed to a post). But I'm thinking the banner is too big (and the newness/cuteness of it is warn off to see it over and over on every page). http://NealWalters.com

P.S. - Someone with enough points, please add "banner" as a tag!

Answer 1

if you like a simple solution, you can use Wordpress Frontpage Banner plugin, it shows a banner or article only on frontpage http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-frontpagebanner/

Answer 2

use this code

<?php
if(is_home()):
?>
<img src="http://NealWalters.com/large-banner.jpg" />
<?php
else:
?>
<img src="http://NealWalters.com/small-banner.jpg" />
<?php
endif;
?>

Answer 3

Upload your big banner to media, attach it to your homepage in the media library. On the homepage, go to Featured Image -> Gallery. Make the image your featured image and indicate it should be top center using the radio buttons. It will become the exception to your standard banner on all the other pages.
