New header for posts?

As header for post?

Fra Altmuligkasse
>


I am sorry but I simply can´t figure out how people can make this their header on posts

Despite the fact I followed the online guide .....grrr... either I am a bit it-blind or the it/easy access evolution has stopped.

Todays Campaign Entry "Learning by the Net"

Sigh - and puff

For the 5. time I tried getting Wordpress going so I could get my webpage a blog. AND blogger outthere promoted Wordpress as features didn´t hazzle as much as Blogger. ( See previous post on Blogpost header). But I got nowhere. Evenwith online "Chat-help" from one.com and pictureguide. Which have me thinking: I feel absolutly stupid as -"I understand what you are saying but the computer is not doing what you say, so stop saying the same stuff every time". Like the joke:

Online Chat helper: Open "Windows"
Man leaves computer and opens windows as requested.


Well - either I am like 19 steps behind IT evolution or Evolution has not yet evolved into a IT - world for us all.

Crack open the Campagne of your choice

Many thanks to

http://www.betatemplates.com/2011/12/how-change-post-title-background-color.html


As I can now alter my background for the post titles....Hurrah'

Please feel free to crack open a bottle of your choice and rejoyce with me.

I know it looks a bit scary and - yes- blogger will warn to NOT alter and instead use CSS additioin in "layout". That didn´t work for me. But the link tutorial did. So you give a try.


But why - Blogger - am I to mess with the HTML - code ? why is that not a standart option for bloggers?


Back in Photo business

In my "Learning by the net" campaign I am back at photo altering. And despite a great danish tutorial with a few simple steps:

  • adjust contrast
  • adjust color
  • export picture
I am still not quite getting there.

It doesn´t have that appetizing feel to them.

and then there is the entry titles

(Correction: the blogger post titles. learning curve continues)

And so I was "hacked"


Medusa was an eastern garter snake with scarring on her face.  Sadly, she died giving birth to a still-born litter.  Don't mind the mud.

Posting 3 Campaigns today

Hello dear friend in the world wide web.

Campaign nr. 1 Bloggerintent.
Today I am (as per learned in the bloggerposts previously) posting one post pr. opinion. Starting off with what is learned on the internet today:

  • Use bullitpoints ;)
  • 250 words per post as Search engines sort out tons of words before choose the ones to show- such as I-was-oline- You - are - Kind. Basically all the word we use. Ending or keeping only the unique 5 word that is left.
  • Why do people read on the web?
That last one needs a bit more explanation. I use the net for information and insperation. So I like blogs or posts that do such things. But would I read my own posts as such? When I read about blogging it said-"use like diary or voice your opinion." But if people don´t read to be entertained but then what are posts for?

Then a blog should be more like a notebook where people could choose to the note that "fit" their needs.


  • What sort of blog would you like and how to design it?
When I go looking for information I like blogs like:

http://sixrevisions.com/web_design/10-important-traits-of-a-great-blog-design/

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/good-pictures-blog/

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/good-pictures-blog/

But when I go for insperation I like blogs like:

http://www.spiceupyourblog.com/2011/07/35-best-free-blogger-templates-of-2011.html
http://makincuteblogs.com/2010/12/making-a-custom-header-using-picnik-so-easy-and-free/



But what does a newbie - blogger do if you want to be an intermix? If "your" blog was to be straight up information and yet have "pretty" - "girly" stuff. I mean if your intent with your blog is dual?

Pretty and girly not going to well as design of blog is still not going like I would have like it to :(

LOL---forgot A/employ picture or video
