Almost all Edublogs themes include an option to upload your own custom image header.
A custom image header means you can obtain a much more customized look and feel adding your “own personal touch” to your blog.
Bloggers also use custom image header as a work around for blog themes that don’t include taglines i.e. you add the tagline to the image header using an image editing tool.
Tips:
- For the best quality use the recommended image header dimensions for your chosen theme (image header dimensions for different themes are listed here).
- Instead of trying to design your own image header visit Free Web Page Headers. You can use any of these image headers, with adaptation if you desire, provided you acknowledge the original source and don’t use them for a commercial purpose
You upload your own custom image header as follows:
1. Go to Appearance > Header in your dashboard.
2. Click on Choose file, browse for the image on your computer and then click on Open.
- Only .jpeg, .gif, and .png files can be used for image headers.
- For best results we recommend you resize the image to the exact dimensions recommended for that theme before uploading by using an image editing program.
3. Next click Upload.
4. Your image will upload and if it isn’t the exact dimensions you’ll need to select the area you want to crop and then click Crop and Publish.
5. Your new image header should appear immediately on your blog. However if it doesn’t try clearing your web browser cache by holding the Ctrl key and pressing F5.
