What I can add though, is a simple text-and-image type setup inside each forum's custom HTML. I did this myself for Mordor and The Shire when I was building the site (quite lazily as you can tell), and @Aigronding Mordagnir recently sent me a nice image to put at the top of Rivendell temporarily.
Anyway the point is that I can add a picture and/or some text to any forum, so we're looking for volunteers to come up with some nice banners for the Kingdoms. This definitely goes for The Shire and Mordor as well, unless you really love my own graphic design skills and want to keep what you have, in which case... thank you?
So, in the spirit of Plaza Jr's intrepid self-organizing principles, we're asking you all to work together to come up with banner images for each Kingdom, if you want them. Post your completed works here and I will add them as they come in. I'd recommend figuring out who will take on what in your Kingdom OOC planning threads, or here, or in whatever fashion doesn't result in 2 people making a banner for the same place. They can be brand new, or dug up from the WayBack machine, or some wild hybrid of the two - the only thing I request is that they be something that would make sense to have in place for a long time since they can't be updated very easily - so just don't include time-sensitive announcements or things like that.
*If you want a banner image plus some kind of intro text above or below it more like what the old Plaza had, that's fine too - basically if you can make it look how you want using BBCode in a post in this thread, I will more or less be able to recreate it in the header. (But as a disclaimer, a single image is probably safer if you want to avoid my own utter lack of aesthetic sensibility being involved).
Note that @Aerlinn has tentatively volunteered to make a banner for the Cottage of Lost Play - other than that, everything's up for grabs at the moment. We look forward to getting your creations up and making your plaza homes feel a little more like home.
I've put it up!
