2. Once you have picked you header, click on it. Make sure to click on the full sized image before you right click on it and choose “save image as”.
3. Once you have saved the image, you are then going to edit it with a program like Photoshop or Paint. Because this tutorial is the simplest and most accessible way to create a header, we are going to use Paint. Go into Paint, click the little blue menu button at the top, chose open, and pick the header template that you saved earlier from your files.
6. To add the header to your blog, sign in to blogger and click on the blog that you want to put the header on. Then go to layout as shown below.
7. When you are in layout, click edit on the Header gadget near the top of the layout page like below.
8. When you click edit, a new window will open titled Configure Header. You can choose an image from the web or from your computer. Click the one for your computer. You will also have the option of choosing if you want to put your image behind a title and description for your blog, a description placed after the image or have your image instead of a title and description. I chose to have my image instead of a title and description because my image already has my blog name on it and I don’t think it looks as nice with a title and description in front or behind it. You can also choose to shrink the picture to fit your blog. I don’t usually choose this and if you have made your header the right size, you shouldn’t have to.Then click choose file from your computer to upload the image.
9. I don’t have a test blog so I will be uploading the header image that have already made for my blog in Photoshop just to show you the last few steps. Click the image you want from your files.
10. It will then load for a moment as shown below.
11. Now your image is uploaded. Click save, and then go to view blog so that you can see how your new header looks. If your new header isn’t the right size, first try upload again and click shrink to fit. If it still isn’t right, then resize the image in Paint and upload again. This can take a few tries to get your header the perfect size.
