Excuse Me, I'm Fancy - Blogger Template


(click image above for a live preview)


STOP THE PRESS!

Why not edit the header image and get something a bit spiffier?

I have included the blank .jpg image in the zipped folder so you can add your own title/description in whatever font you like.

This is, in a nutshell, what you have to do:

  1. Open the header image in your graphics program*. Add your own header title text/description. Save this image.

    I came up with this:



  2. Go to LAYOUT > PAGE ELEMENTS and click "Edit" in the header area. You are basically going to tell the blog to show this new image in stead of your boring old plain text header! Click image below for a grab on what to click:




  3. Done!


* You don't need Photoshop (or such) any more because there's something called Pixel Editor which I seem to have within my Firefox Browser. I have no idea if this is now included in Firefox or if I installed the plugin. When I right click on an image, one of the choices is "Edit Image" and when I click that, it brings up a very 'Adobe' inspired editing window:



It looks pretty freaking sweet.

    There is a free program that is Photoshop-esque called GIMPhoto, which is based off the open-source GIMP platform. Users of Pshop and Pshop Elements will have a pretty easy time navigating. They designed the menus to be very close to Pshop. Totally free! The copy I have 1.4.3 is actually pretty bug-free and of course no spyware. That's what I use for all of my stuff! Enjoy! (Oh, the website is just gimphoto.com)

    I love Gimp, but I REALLY love Aviary, on-line multi-media suite that allows anyone to create, edit, and remix digital content directly from their favorite web browser.

    Each application on Aviary is named after a bird (hence the name) with programs such as Phoenix (an on-line image editor that's comparable to PhotoShop), Peacock (an effects editor/pre-visual laboratory), Toucan (a color swatches and palettes creator), Raven (a vector editor) and many more! The best part is Aviary is free as a bird!

    Check out the little info-video here.
