Now, when you upload an image to set as the background of your custom panel, you can choose to have the image size set to auto, cover or contain. This means that the size of your custom panel will display your image exactly how you want.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Map Styles<\/strong><br \/>\nWe\u2019ve updated our Google Maps widget to include ten different styles from gray to green to bubbly and clean cut. You can easily change the look and feel of your map to match your website branding. Simply go to the settings after you\u2019ve dropped the map widget on to your page and choose a style to your liking. Take a look at our demo site <a title=\"Haystack\" href=\"http:\/\/www.onceinahaystack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Haystack<\/a> to see one of the map styles at work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-7493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-06-12-at-1.47.37-PM.png\" alt=\"Add a Styled Map to your Yola Website\" width=\"580\" height=\"318\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Displaying Banners<\/strong><br \/>\nOn the Skyline Style you can choose to display banners on a per page basis. This means that you can add a banner to your homepage but have it removed for your contact page. Similarly you can also upload different images for banners on each page of your site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Padding for Column Dividers<\/strong><br \/>\nOur column divider widget just got a little easier. Add padding to each side of the column to control the space around the elements inside. For example, on your contact page, you can add space around a text widget moving it to be halfway down the length of your Google Maps widget but within the same column. It can also be used to add space between two Text widgets to prevent words running together. You can see an example of this on <a title=\"Growersfield Farm\" href=\"http:\/\/growerfieldsfarm.yolasite.com\/where-to-buy.php\" target=\"_blank\">Growersfield Farm<\/a> below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-7492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-06-12-at-1.44.48-PM.png\" alt=\"Add Padding to your Column Diviger Widgets on Yola\" width=\"451\" height=\"341\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Online Store SEO Improvements<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you add products to your Yola Online Store, each product page will be submitted with your sitemap to Google so that the keywords, titles and descriptions will be crawled. To see your sitemap, republish your website and go to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">http:\/\/MyWebsite.com\/sitemap.xml<\/span> and replace \u201cMy Website\u201d with your website name.<\/p>\n<p>To speed up the process, you can submit your sitemap to Google following the steps in <a title=\"Yola Tutorials | Google Webmaster Tools\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/tutorials\/article\/Tutorial-Google-Webmaster-12859444\" target=\"_blank\">this tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We hope these updates have been helpful.
