How do I put an image into the Banner Block on the Jackson theme?
Also how would I go about making it a rotating banner?

Can I Import a custom FLASH rotating banner in the Banner Block? Or how should I do my rotating banner in this block?

OK, I guess I found out how to import an image in the banner block. Now I’m just trying to figure out how to get a good rotating banner. I might use FLASH >_<

Have you tried putting a slideshow like Slideshow CS in there?
I tried a lot of rotating banners and Slideshow CS is a simple one to use and install, and DOESN'T require additional modules (you know, Views and lots of others...).
Hope that helps!

That sounds like a good option but I cant get that module in Drupal 7
the latest version of the Slideshow CS module is 6.x-2.11

A good slider is Nivo slider jQuery plugin - http://nivo.dev7studios.com/. It is included with a few new themes - do a search on All content here and I'm sure you will find it. I have not used it yet, but plan on doing so with this theme. It is one of the best available - thanks developers!

"OK, I guess I found out how to import an image in the banner block." How do you do this??

I have created a block and placed it in the banner region. For the body content I type
Only local images are allowed. but nothing shows up. The image appears properly when i point my browser the URL. Thanks for the help!

Awesome I got views slideshow to work!
Thanks for all your help and suggestions. sorry I'm still new to most of this, I finally buckled down and learned how to use views for some other features on my site. So when I came back to work on my banner I was able to understand the views slideshow module.
