It's not the most intellectual
job in the world, but I do have
to know the letters.

This is a fun blog! I laughed especially hard at this quote.


I would love more neil.

Here's the deal with the picture in the header. You have to first post the picture you would like on your blog so it uploads to a url (you can delete it afterwards). Then you highlight and copy the URL. I think you can use the full sized one or the smaller one. I think I had to keep changing the size of my picture to make it look right.

Then you paste it in your template. I put it under Header...Media All. (But you could put it in other places to get background pictures in other places.) It looks like this:
background:url(http://...etc...jpg) no-repeat left;

If you don't say "no-repeat" the picture will go all the way across the page. and you can change left to right, etc.

Then I moved the title to where i wanted it from here:

#blog-title {
margin:5px 5px 0;
padding:15px 20px 15px 190px;
border:1px solid #ee9;
border-width:1px 1px 0;


The padding is what positions the text, in this order: top right bottom left, I think. I'm pretty sure that if yours says center then you could just delete that and replace it. The more padding you add on the top and bottom, then I think the taller your header would get, accommodating a bigger picture. I played around with it a lot, so I'm not sure exactly all I did.

I'm afraid if you have a new blog or have upgraded it then the directions will be different and i'm not sure this will be helpful. Hope it works!
