(Failed) Dirty trick to get more pageviews

Step 6 Put the banner on your 130 pixel thumbnail

Not much to say here. Paste the FEATURED banner you just cut out of the donor thumbnail onto your own one, making sure to align it properly. The actual featured banner extends beyond the edges of the thumbnail, presumably to stop this sort of trickery, but we can't have everything. Crop down to the 130 pixel thumbnail and save it.
