4. At a 960 page width, set the banner image dimensions by setting the Width to: 960 and the Height to: 250. Next set the Extra Content Area to: 1. * Be sure to un-click "Load jQuery" as you should have already enabled jQuery through the page's general style options.

* The "Enable Box Shadow" option has been disabled in the "Advanced" tab.

5. Go to your Plus Kit page and disable the "Show in Menu" option which can be found under the General tab in the Page Inspector so that the page does not appear in your navigation menu. Remember, the Plus Kit will add import page functionality to your entire RapidWeaver project.
