How to customize the home page with a unique banner
I want to know how to use a different header on my home page. I would assume I could use a conditional statement in my pages template or make a banner module with a statement like this:
<mtweblogstyleifhome>
<$MTInclude module="homebanner"$>
<mtelse>
<$MTInclude module="banner"$>
</mtelse>
</mtweblogstyleif> </mtweblogstyleifhome>
<mtweblogstyleifhome>
<$MTInclude module="homebanner"$>
<mtelse>
<$MTInclude module="banner"$>
</mtelse>
</mtweblogstyleif> </mtweblogstyleifhome>
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Julie! Are you asking about adding the banner in TypePad, or MT? There's some custom CSS guidelines here:
http://help.sixapart.com/tp/us/custom...
and if you're part of our Beta team and working with Chroma in TypePad, that's a great way to add a custom banner to a pre-defined theme. There's more info on that here:

and

Let me know how best we can help.

Inappropriate?Hi Miz Ginevra,
Thank you for your suggestions. I am in Typepad and trying to add a banner (header image) on the home page that is different from the other pages.
The home page is a page and not a post. It is a site with several pages, plus blog posts. I have to use Advanced Templates for the design.
My goal is a site with a home page and typical information pages, plus a blog. The pages are in a one-column style.
Because I like a challenge, I want the blog posts in a two-column style and don't want to lose SEO juice by pointing a separate subdomain at the blog, which would solve the different layout problem by being two blogs.
I think I can figure this out, (just don't know TypePad that will yet) by modifying the post archive template to include showing the latest post and then link to that page from the menu. I just have to look in the main index and figure out what code I need to take to display the latest post.
Atleast that is the workaround I have come up with, unless there is an easier way to do this.
I’m happy to have a reply but still curious
