HELP!


I have tried and tried and tried to change my "header/banner". I want a pretty one with a different background (like the lavender & white background above), graphics, etc. but can not figure out how to do it. If anyone out there in blog land knows how, PLEASE let me know. I've created my own templates and I change my ebay "Me Page" around all of the time, but for the life of me I can not figure out where I need to go on here to change my header/banner. Thanks! Debbie P.S. I have NO patience as you have probably noticed... =)

Hey Debbie....My husband created my banner in photoshop. Then, he found the banner in the html and replaced it with the new one. I will see if he can give me some more specifics. Holly

This is one of the VERY few things I know how to do!

First, create your banner. This can be done in photoshop; you can use that pretty paper and type the name of your blog over the top of it for something simple.

Then you want to upload it to Flickr.com. When your banner shows up on the screen, click save. A new screen will show up; click on your banner again. This brings the picture/banner up one more time, but alongside on the right will be a list of options (additional information is what it says.)

Click 'see different sizes'. At the top of the screen it will say Availabel Sizes. Click the 'large' size. The screen will update, and beneath your photo there will be several options; the first option is the HTML code for your blog!

Next, pull up your blog and select Template. The top of the page will have your blog title on it, plus an edit button. Click edit. Where it says 'blog description', paste the HTML code.

Now for the hard part...click save and your done!

Hope that helps!

This is yet another thing on my to-do list... but I see from the above post by Tracy, it should hopefully be not that painful (oooh! Shabby, that sounds awful!) heehee

Debbie, I've tried & tried to add a banner logo and floral background to my blog..It's making me crazy that I can not do it! I know a bit about HTML but could not for the life of me figure out how to add them to this blog template. So I finally just gave up! Sorry I wish I could help you. Good luck darling!!! LOL... If you get it worked out would PLEASE let me know.
Have a great day :-} ~Mary~

Hi Debbie,
Did you get it yet? Tracey's directions were right on... thanks Tracey :o) you helped me out as well. Only thing I didn't go to Flicker just went to Photobucket where my headers are already stored. Oh, and I had to make one minor adjustment when an error message was received. Later on, I will see if I can change the background but for now I'm happy. I've been frustrated as well, so if you need a little more help just holler :o)
Take care, Dionne
