   hi,

   I am trying to use the conditional tags. Basically I want to say that if it is the page About choose this image with a $bannerimg. So, where do I insert that $bannerimg in my code?

   <?php if ( is_page('about')) {
   $bannerimg = about.jpg';
   } else {
   $bannerimg = 'home.jpg';}
   ?>

   ???????? <img src="$bannerimg" align="right" /> ???????

   use a php echo function to output the $bannerimg:

   where is the image folder?

   the full code depennds on the image location;
   to start, try:

   <?php if ( is_page('about')) {
   $bannerimg = 'about.jpg';
   } else {
   $bannerimg = 'home.jpg';}
   ?>
   
   <img src="<?php echo $bannerimg; ?>" align="right" />

   as this is likely not to work, try for the last line:

   <img src="http://full_path_to_image_folder/<?php echo $bannerimg; ?>" align="right" />
