Sandip :: Weblog :: Custom Blog Theme Tip

February 18, 2006

Here's a quick tip to personalize your blog theme header image if you are using the theme titled "myktm":

  • Upload a new header image into your file repository. Make sure the image has the following dimensions: width='769px' and height='200px'
  • Once uploaded click on it and copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
  • Now you want to go to 'Account Settings' then select 'change theme'.
  • Where it says 'Create Theme' put in a name that you want to call your new theme and create it based upon the "myktm" theme (using the drop down menu).
  • Now you will see your theme listed - select 'edit'.
  • When the edit page opens up you will see the theme's CSS - find the section which says:

    #header { background: url(/_templates/northern/totems_2.jpg); width: 769px; height: 180px; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: right; }

  • Now you want to replace the url portion (between the brackets) with the URL you copied in step two.
  • Click save and you are done.
  • Select your personal theme as your current theme.
