Holiday Header

Headers are fun to create and personalize. There are so many ways to personalize your header in your blog. One of my favorite ways to do this is by using Google Slides. Most everyone has access to to Google Slides and it’s $FREE$! Yippee!

Click on this template. From the FILE menu, click MAKE A COPY.

Before you get too serious with personalizing the header, you need to make sure it’s the right size.

From the dashboard, go to APPEARANCE > CUSTOMIZE

Once you reach the Customize screen, click on HEADER IMAGE

You will notice the header size recommendation in pixels. Remember this and write it down.

Now go back to the Google Slides template and modify the size in pixels.

In Google Slides, go to FILE > PAGE SET UP. Change pixel size to meet the recommendations of your blog template.

Now it’s time for the fun! Change the background, insert your favorite Creative Commons images, and add text! Be creative!

When finished, go to FILE > SAVE AS > JPEG IMAGE.

Head back over to “Customizing Header Image” on your blog and upload your new header. Wa-lah!

Note: Refer to Festive Theme page for ideas on where to find images and backgrounds.
