Basic question....

[Kyoko]

I knew how to change the theme on my page... But today for some reason, I can not get the down loaded picture to go to my Header...

What am I doing wrong?

Every now and then the site gets a glitch in it. I had this happen once before and so did Nancy (Nancy and Ned). We just shut our computers down and the next day we didn't have a problem.

Also did you remember to click on SAVE? I still goof up and forget.

[Kyoko]

Oh, OK. I will try again to see what happens! Hopefully it will work!!

Still not working :-(

Maybe your photo is saved as something other than a JPEG photo. I don't think DK will accept anything that is a different file format. Or the size is too big. Check to see if it is a JPEG first. Then check the photo size and resolution. The resolution needs to be under 100 to work on a web based site. Some cameras take the photos in 300 dpi (resolution) which you can't e-mail because the files are too big. I use Photoshop and do all my adjustments and sizing in that program. Just remember that the photo MUST BE a JPEG file.

I can't get photo's to go on a header unless I go through a program that makes them tiny. I just learned to make a collage using picasa and I can re-size it there. Otherwise my photos are too big to do more than let the top edge show on the header.

Okay, I just found this website yesterday. It shows how to make a Photo Collage Banner or for that matter, a Photo Banner for your website. This should give you the sizes that will work across the top of your page. Good Luck!

I always just used some neat picture that I find on Goof=gle images, and saved them in my picture and loaded on to the header.... May be this picture is too big. But I was able to put the same pictures on the body and the sides... Strange.

I have a lot of trouble with sizing. Nancie Casey and Gracie doodle and GBK are both really good at sizing. Check with them again too.

Your page looks awesome! Love that chocolate. It took me quite a while to change my header this time too. It's all about the sizing. I have a Mac and I have to save the picture to 320 pixels which is a perfect size for the header if you are repeating a pattern. What kind of computer are you using?

Hi Kyoko,
It has been too long since I have changed my header but here are the specs:
Width: 999 pixcels
Height: 189 pixcels
Width 13.878 inches
Height: 2.626 inches

Hope this helps

Thanks Joanne, I can never figure out the right size for the header either. I think I have the width, but my height is still toooo big. So I will try your meas.
