Below is the code for a linked floating banner with a mouseover to cover up the icky fixed one on the ShoutPost Default template.

You can alter the height and width a bit.




<div style="float: left; height: 152px; width: 563px; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px"><a href="Your Blog URL.com" target="_self"><img src="image URL" alt="Welcome to my site, whatever text" width="563" height="152" border="0" /></a></div>
