3. Click on EDIT on the header widget

4. A window will open where you can upload your image. Make sure "SHRINK TO FIT" is selected. AND "Picture instead of title and description"

Wilna, thanks for the info on photobucket. I did put text on the photo with it and add it to my blog banner. As for the second issue the pixels were right but then it said float: sendside; and I couldn't find the margin you listed. I guess that I'm a little timid about all these codes, and don't want to mess up my blog by changing or entering the wrong code. Thanks for your patience and help.

Hi Wilna,

Adding your banner to my blog was easy, but trying to figure out how to put my blog title on it wasn't. I tried to load a free trial of Photoshop, but had some kind of error, so I wasn't able to try making a banner. Using the blogger title space came out way to small and unreadable on the banner. I also had no trouble adding a facebook badge.

I like the look of the two column template. The only problem is that the sidebar is butted right up against the posts so it is hard to read without a white space between them. Sorry, to put so many things in one comment. I appreciate the lessons and have made copies of all the notes for when I become more computer savy.

I was able to download and add the banner you made for us to my "practice blog" Wilna! That was the easiest thing I've done so far. Now I'm gonna try to make one of my own and add it. Thanks!

Hi Wilna,

I have a booboo. I installed your 3 column template, and in the layout it shows a picture bar all the way across the top. (not the header space I had previously). I click on edit on he piture holder and upload my picture (banner) and shrink to fit. However the banner is not centered.

When you have time could you help me?
