OERbit Admin Changes

OERbit: Simple Customizations = Theme =

Logo
You can add your own logo to the banner of the site by going to the admin menu at the top (black bar) and finding:

Site building &gt; Themes &gt; Configure &gt; Open.Michigan

Then scroll down and under "Logo image settings" you can upload your new logo (just click on the "choose file" button). Your logo should have a height of about 75px in order to fit in the existing banner. If you make other modifications to the size of the banner, you can add a logo that fits that size. Consider using a transparent .gif or .png image file for fast display times and better integration with the site.

Click "Save" at the bottom of the page and when you refresh the main page of the site you will see your new logo.

Favicon
You can change the favicon for two things: the icon that shows up in the browser for the user and the favicon that is used in the admin menu.

Main site icon

Click "Save" at the bottom of the page and when you refresh the main page of the site you will see your new favicon.
