The Header

The Header is perhaps the most distinctive part of your blog at first glance... So, spending some time on making a really nice header goes a long way in improving the look and feel of your blog.

Of course you could design it yourself or download it from somewhere or whatever...

It should end up as a jgp file on your computer :)

Once you have it, it's very simple:

1. Click customize and get into page elements. Click the edit button on the header element. You will get a pop up like this:

So, choose the appropriate placement, and the shrink to fit button, upload the image there from your computer. Press Save and you are almost done usually.

View your blog... if the header seems a bit out of place, you may need to tweak the outer wrapper width values... (i will post how to do that in a few days, otherwise just play around with the code under edit HTML... it's quite easy to find the numbers you need to change, ALWAYS remember to download and keep a copy of your template, just in case things go wrong) if you like those 2 lines around the header (assuming you are using the minima template) leave them in, or simply change their colour to the background colour from the Layout/fonts and colour change page.

Cheers!

Crusher!!
