Tutorial on How to Add a Super Cute Header to Your Blog!
I decided that I needed to figure out a way for EVERYONE to have a Super Cute Header, even if you don't know how to make one yourself. So I am now going to start designing cute Headers and they will be available FREE on my Blog Accessories Page. It is soooo simple!
Step #1: Go to the Blog Accessories Page and pick out a header and copy the text in the box below it, or if you have one of your own that is great too!
Step #2: Go to Layout, and Page Elements, and Click on Edit (next to Header).
Step #3: Paste the text that you copied from step #1 in the "From the web" spot, and make sure that you have selected "Behind Title and Description". Then Click Save.
Step #4: Then you will notice that Your Title is not centered in the image, it is on the top. To fix this, we are going to go to the "Edit HTML" Page. (When you are finished with this tutorial Click Here to learn how to get rid of the border around your header)
Scroll Down until you see #header h1 { and change the 15px to 130px. Then Click Save Template. (Note, you do not have to change it to 130 exactly, that is just the best number for centering your text on my Headers, if you have a header that is sized differently, you will have to play with different numbers until you find one that centers it well.)
And that's It! You have a beautiful header! Just another way to Makeover your Blog!
