Like... good browsers?
At least in my case: yes, you can.

On my Oolite page on my homepage website (not yet online), I'm going to use the following image as a banner:

IE 5 and 6 can display transparent pngs by the way. It's little tricky though.

Looks cool!
About the gallery:
There two drafts (code-wise).
The first one uses a fixed height for the text field. That means, the amount of text for a caption is limited and some space might be "wasted".
The big advantage of this is, however, that it adapts to your screen width.
The other option is to fix the number of images per line. That way, you can type as much as you want as a caption, but it doesn't adapt to your screen with.
Since captions shouldn't be too long anyway, I'd use the first one...

This is excellent! I especially like the Oolite logo, with the first O being a witchspace wormhole!
BTW, I would have done the link a bit differently, ie:
Code: Select all
My take on the Corny design:

Certainly possible, as animated GIFs this can be done quite easily.
Clicks on them could take you to the YAH wiki page?

Yeah, seventh's different approach to the logo is kinda retro and fine
Still curious what logo might be taken
Btw, the gallery with the first code-approach in 1024*768-resolution:

What are you using to generate the gallery? Is it a server side include or something?

Yes, but I'm an infinitely lazy guy and doing it that way requires more tags.
Glad you liked it. Unfortunately I can't take any credit for the logo, except for the glow around the first O.

Gallery proposal, the descriptions could show on mouseover.
Still plenty of room for improvements.

CSS.
Ahruman stated quite clearly what he thinks about CMS or usage of much scripting.
The code should be easily understandable. I'll add comments, only thing you'd need to do to add an item is replacing the title and typing in your caption.
The people who change pictures of the website are probably used to code anyway
A bit more for the eye like in Lucidor's proposal is still possible, but the arrows at the bottom wouldn't have a function
most users should already be familiar with scroll bars, though, so no worries

So to add a picture you have to dive into the HTML?
