Like a book, the blog header is just like the front cover page of a book that is a reflection of the contents inside. Likewise with blogs, display an interesting header will indicate the identity and content of these blogs, so that visitors can find out what the blogs in question. When visitors view the headers, would immediately understand the content contained in blogs.
If we create a blog with blogspot, no images were available to put the blog title header. Therefore, we need to optimize the look of the blog header with header alternative, or seek other variations of the design collection of headers out blogspot, or design their own and then upload them to blogs.
To create a blog header, can be designed using the facilities of Adobe Photoshop, Corel, Gimp, and others.
To my friends who have not mastered graphic design but want to make an attractive header for his blog, do not panic, because there is software that can help us in making a blog header. Is xheader.com which provides the facility of making a blog header with XHeader software.
Header blog creation services provided xheader.com there are free and paid. For a free (Standard Version) given header capacity up to 500 graphics header and with limited features. We have to spend $ 47.0 if you want to get more features and capacity of up to 5,000 graphics header through a paid service (Pro Version).
OK, we just try to practice how to create a blog header with Software XHeader, these are the steps:
1. To get the software XHeader http://xheader.com/download.html visit, then after installation open the file.
2. When we open the program, will show the welcome screen that offers to switch to a paid XHeaderPro to get the 5,000 graphics header.
If you want to choose a free service, click "No Thanks".
3. On the next screen will display four options menu to start making the header. If we want to start from scratch to design their own using the provided blank header, click "New". But if we do not want to bother to think about how to make, click the option "Load from Template Library" to create a header within a few minutes to edit one of the templates available from the library header XHeader accordance with the categories available.
4. On the "Choose Your Header Style" menu option there is a template (template selector) to select the template header in accordance with the available categories on the left. Click on any of the categories selected, then after emerging collection of pictures header, "double-click on the" template header that we most like. This will open the selected template header into the software to be designed more according to our tastes.
5. After that we will be brought to The Edit Image Screen, which is the main screen in the manufacture of the header graphic.
At the top of the Edit Picture screen appears template header that we have chosen from the library in XHeader to do the editing. Below the picture there is a header template Edit Image Toolbar (Select, Text, Line, Square, Circle, Image, To Front, To Back) which allows us to choose the form; insert text; draw a line on the screen; draw a hollow square or rectangle; draw a circle; import images from a computer, and placing the selected object to the front or back of the picture list. Below the toolbar there are several options box (Color Option, Option Text, Text Effects, Other, Shadow Option) to assist us in making the header graphic.
6. Start editing the template header.
First, to insert text into the image header, select the "Text" key on the Edit Picture toolbar, then click on the header image where we want the text to appear. After that select the font color, typeface and font size.
Second, the design context to the title and blog description in the box provided. Use Text Effects and Shadow Option to configure the look of the sentence. Select Image if you want to import images from the computer. To set the location / position of the sentence in the header image, just drag and drop with the mouse.
Third, to edit the size of the header according to the template on the blog, do it through the Options menu --> click resize the header.
Actually the header image on display in the Edit Image Screen is 100% in the original, but if you want to view headers in the browser, open the Options menu --> Preview in Browser.
Fourth, at this step of making the template header if thats enough, lived in the save with:
--> Click the Save button XHF: header graphics will be saved as a file that can be edited XHF back if still needed in the future.
--> Click the button Save As...: saves the image as a JPG file.
When we click this button, XHeader will open a new window that asks us to choose the JPG image quality. In this window we will be presented with 10 different versions about the quality and file size. Choose one of them the highest quality and small file size.
It is this file stored on the computer and then uploaded into the blog template.
