OK. But there is more work to be done... of course <g>
Your:
<h1>Coφs Resources</h1>
<h2>a project of</h2>
<h3>Coφs County Family Health Sevices, Inc. RESPONSE Program</h3>
simply will not do. <h2> is not a header for a start. Rethink
this one and while at it, try to make the whole banner with image
not as high.
Your picture is fine to grow just wide without taller in a
situation like this where few people will really strain it and if
they do, it will be just a "graphic effect" of little
consequence. The advantage simply being not to use up valuable
screen estate and require early scrolling for little real
purpose. This now leaves you with the problem of how to grow the
left html text banner bit. The first thing to do is to remove the
3 heading elements and choose another way where the text is
tighter and at least some of it smaller, the gaps not so large.
All possible with CSS.
Ah yes, you are wondering maybe how to fix the height but not the
width of the pic, you could just em base the width but px base
the height. Some line up problems if you don't get clever with
the text block to the left too... The other strategy might be to
max height the height of the img or immediate containing div in
em. I am here just pointing to a problem to be solved rather than
solving it.
