How to make A blog header using Picmonkey

When I first started blogging I was so confused about where to start. I knew I wanted to start a blog but didn’t really know about the different blog platforms or how to make my blog look girly and more custom like the blogs that I like to visit.

Ive found a few sites that have become my best friend when it comes to blogging. Having a nice header is important , it represents your blog or brand and should include your blog name. Who wants a plain blog ??

I use the site Picmonkey for  photo editing and creating custom images . Pic monkey is free and anyone can sign up to use it.

Ive broken it down in steps for you, hopefully its simple and straight to the point. In this post I am using picmonkey.com to make my header and blogger.com as my blogging platform both are free !
After creating a Picmonkey  , you have the option to use Collage, Design, Edit or Touch Up.

Because I am creating a custom header and not just using a photo , I use the Collage option so it will give me the dimensions I want for a header.

 

When you click on Collage Fb cover layout :

 

You can change the color of the layout or adjust the spacing.

Once you upload the image you will you use for your header into the edit section , you can edit your header by adding text, other images, overlays and so much more !

The Tt icon enables you to access any fonts. Here you can add text to your header with the fonts available , if you’re trying to be fancy you can also upload your own text.

After you add your text, then you can add any overlays to make your header as stylish as you want.

 You can also add any effects  you want by using the Textures tab, I love the Bokeh (not sure how to pronounce that ) to give my header look like its sparkling.  

When your done styling your header , till  you are satisfied , then you can save your image. Remember to save your image something you  can remember.

Now , that you’ve made your super stylish custom header, now you have to upload it on blogger.

Go to your blogger dashboard , go to Layout , at the top of the section ,there will be a header section. Click Edit .

 

 

A window will pop up , you will be able to add your image by going to Browse.

Your image should appear , then you can click Save .

 

 

Then your blog header is updated !!!

There are other ways to make headers but this is just the easiest method for me , and you don’t need to be a graphic designer to do it. Theres nothing wrong with paying someone to design your blog but ,if you can do it yourself why not ! This post only focused on A blog header but , I also use picmonkey for other things on my blogs.  Hope this was helpful and good luck on making your blog look stylish .

 

Till next time………
