Homepage banners

Managing homepage banners
Homepage banners are managed via the Publishing menu.

- Click the Publishing icon in the left navigation bar. The Publishing menu will open.
- Click the Homepage banners link in the third group of links.
Homepage banner fields

Randomizing banners
The final task you can perform with the Homepage Banners area is to randomize your website’s homepage banners. This means that a visitor to your website may be shown a different homepage banner from your selection, each time they visit.
To change the randomizing status of your banners, try the following:
- In the Homepage banner management area, click the Actions menu and click the Enable randomise option when the menu opens.
- The page will refresh, a success message is shown and the randomize status will be updated.
note
The randomize image function will only use homepage images that have been made live.
