Hmm. I matched the existing banner size identically as I assumed it was correct. There are in fact 4 banners now on random rotate.

[CentOS-docs] Header image of blog.centos.org
I noticed that the header backgroung image of https://blog.centos.org was updated. This brought back some memories around couple of suggestions (or "complaints") when the page was first set up. Fabian thinks it's worth discussing this on the -docs mailing list. :) One thing was that the header image of the page remained the default one provided by WordPress. But no one was able to change it to something nice, or CentOS-specific image. Either that or no admin cared about it. ;-) The other "issue" was that the height of the image was too big. On a small device, it occupies 1/3 or even half of the screen estate. But then, because no one got to modify the settings, this request has not been fulfilled. Since the first one has now been taken care of, it's a good time to consider the second one. The current image is 980x240. Perhaps, changing the height to 120 will make it acceptable ? By the way the header image of the CentOS wiki page ( https://wiki.centos.org/ ) has a height of 130.
