Free For All! (yes, this was my giveaway template a few months ago)

So, a few months ago, I had a giveaway. I emailed the winner a few times before they disappeared and never emailed me again! Tough luck, cookie because now I'm giving that Blogger template away to everyone!

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE:

(1) Your blog header and title will not show up! That is because there is a blank header image (within the downloadable folder) that you need to edit yourself. You don't need Photoshop to edit the header image, you can follow these instructions and edit - and add - it. Easy peasy and fancy fancy!

(2) Please don't leave me a comment complaining that your blog title doesn't show up. If you have this problem, please read point #1.

(3) If you like this template then why not look at some of my similar ones on offer at Suck My Lolly. It's easy to jazz up your blog, why not try it?

(4) If you were the winner of my giveaway a few months back, sorry! You missed out.

(5) If you like it and use it, leave me a comment and show me what you do!

(6) Enjoy!

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.
