New Banner for my blog

Wonder why a banner is called a banner when it does not ban anything?! May be initially the banners were used to display slogans that urged people/readers to ban something...

Liked the new banner of my blog? I am not banning anything though! ;-)

    As a teacher of English, I find your observation about the word banner and its connection to ban very intereting! What a language...

    English is full of such words, I guess! :)
