Anyway, I do have a question. I've been adding a personalized header to my blog every now and then, but this latest one has me a little baffled. I'm not able to figure out how to get rid of the border, and to center the header. I'm unsure of the codes, is basicly it.<BR/><BR/>Any advice you can spare?

I never saw it as a problem because I didn't care if my header was clickable or not :-)<br /><br />But it seems I've had a flood of interest in this recently, so I'm working on a post/tutorial for both classic and beta blogger. I should have it in a day or so...depending on free time.Sharon Pickering https://www.blogger.com/profile/13673089829187452304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23936743.post-60338125373350296392006-11-15T01:04:00.000-05:002006-11-15T01:04:00.000-05:00@blogwhore, The good news is ...it can be done...t...@blogwhore, The good news is ...it can be done...the bad news is...it involves CSS. <br /><br />Here is what you will look for in your template:<br /><br />#header { background:url("http://www.blogblog.com/rounders2/corners_cap_bot.gif") no-repeat left bottom;<br /> padding:0 15px 8px;<br /> }<br /><br />You will replace it with:<br /><br />#header {<br />background:#456 url("YOUR HEADER URL") no-repeat left top;<br />margin:0 0 0;<br />padding:158px 0 0;<br />color:#fff;<br />}<br /><br />I haven't worked with the 'Rounders' template much, so we'll start here. I'm sure there will be some adjusting of sizes. (I'm finding it is always something.) But, stick that in and let's see what happens. (remember to save your template on your computer first) If the sizes don't match up, send me a link to your image and I will see what I can do.Sharon Pickering https://www.blogger.com/profile/13673089829187452304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23936743.post-15147125681685335112006-11-14T21:10:00.000-05:002006-11-14T21:10:00.000-05:00okay i used some of your ideas on tesco-complaint....okay i used some of your ideas on tesco-complaint.blogspot.com but i have one problem which you have too. how do we make the graphic clickable to return to homepage?tesco-complainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921854349293115268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23936743.post-31967241157947558132006-11-14T16:44:00.000-05:002006-11-14T16:44:00.000-05:00Yikes, help.

I know I'm just scratching the surface of getting into the Beta. <br /><br />I understand about keeping to the Blogger standards, and I'm trying. Not always able to know exactly what to do.<br /><br />And I have been a fan of CSS Zen Garden for ages!

You know, w...Hi Annie, wow, thanks for the honors!<br /><br />You know, what I like about the new Beta features is that you can define all the colors and fonts you use as variables. In that way you can edit them from the layout editor, and see directly what a different color, font or fontsize does to your blog's appearance. I think that is really nice.<br /><br />By keeping as much to the Blogger standards as possible, and by only editing the css for all the id's and classes that are relevant to your layout, your template can be used by many other users.<br /><br />If you want to see more of the workings of css, take a look at <a href="http://www.csszengarden.com">CssZenGarden</a>. On this site you can find many layouts made in css for one and the same html-file. All the layout is done with css, not in the html. It is really amazing.<br /><br />Hans<br /><br />HansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
