Add image header to blog


My blog image header

Blogger just added a new feature to it's template page and that is add header image option,i was about to write a trick on how to put a header image on blogger,and today as i was getting ready to write that,i simply checked my layout page and was surprised to see that google added the feature already,i am sure it wasn't there yesterday!,so here are a few tips on how to put your own header image on blog.

  • Go to template page>edit html
  • Click on expand widgets
  • From the html code find code like this

    #header {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 25px 60px 160px 160px;
    color: $pagetitlecolor;
    background: url(http://imageserver.com/bgnv2.jpg)
    no-repeat bottom left;
    }
  • Now from the above code copy the image url i.e(http://imageserver.com/bgnv2.jpg in this case copy and paste to address bar and save the image)
  • now open the image with photoshop or paint make your own header without changing the resolution of the image
  • Now save the image
  • Go to template layout click on header edit button seen in picture
  • Now from the window that opens upload the header you made from computer
  • if you have already made a text in your header image then tick "instead of title and description" and if else you just have made the background then tick "behind title and description"
  • Save and publish
I am designing image headers,anyone interested in a free image header please comment.

Blogging an introduction:some tips to become a good blogger!


As a child your parent's must have advised you to maintain a personal diary,which served two purposes
  • Language skill improving
  • Handwriting improving
Blogging ain't entirely different,what is different here is that,your personal diary is exposed to your friends and the whole world,so that you can convey your thought's and ideas with your friends,family and the whole world,blogging can be tricky,you have to follow these steps to become a good blogger

  • Never write sms language(i.e 'u' of 'you' or '4' of 'four')
  • Never put copy paste stuff on your blog(don't rip of articles from other blogs or website)
  • Be prepared to have no readers at the start
  • Update once in a while(2-3 days update would be fine).Don't stay for too long
  • Reply to comments you get
  • Comment on top blogs(don't say like "i like your blog,you might like mine")
  • adding a bit of humor to your blog would do good(who likes to see serious stuff on a personal blog?)
  • remember to spell check your post's before you publish
  • Dont spam around(i.e "my blog is at xyz.com please visit",give links to friend's when you think you have some awesome exclusive post,otherwise they will find it boring)
these are just the basics,the rest is coming soon!
