Blogger header--how to get rid of that box behind the banner

[HelenaJole]

I started my blog back before Blogger went to this widget layout thing, and I haven't switched it over, so I just do everything in the HTML.

Now I've made a blog background and banner for somebody, and I'm trying to write some installation instructions. I made another blog to test it, but just can't get rid of that header box. I tried deleting things but then it messes up the rest of the formatting.

How do you center a banner that's wider than 660 pixels?

I worked this out today when I redid my blog!!

There are instructions HERE

Thanks! I did find that info somewhere else. I also figured out how to keep my banner bigger than my blog and keep it centered, which was tricky!

I haven't updated my blog in forever but from what I remember one site suggested that I just change the blog box outline to white and that worked for my particular banner.

If you need the specific instructions I can probably dig them up for you.
