The theme is meant to show banners next to the sidebar, using the `above-main-container` outlet. The Extra-Banners component uses that outlet by default, but the two components for Category and Tag banners are by default rendered below the header. I wouldn’t want to fork these components, just to set a different default outlet.. That’s why I put these instructions:

> Plugin outlet → _above-main-container_  
> **Tag Banners**  
> Show below site header → _uncheck_  
> Show above main container → _check_

But if that’s easy to miss, maybe there’s a better way to put it? 🤔

Yeah, that’s easy enough and seems a good approach for this theme. I just added a commit!
