Thanks to Heather I have a new banner heading for the blog. I’m really delighted. My header has always been rather boring: an appropriate sort of header for me I thought. Now that I’ve decided that I might be a tad less boring (if a tad more eccentric) I thought it was time for a change of blog image too. All I have to do now is learn how to add more pictures. I’m sure it’ll be within my competence. Hmm. We’ll see. Anyway I hope that you like it too. Thanks Heather.

Graham...you did it!!! I'm so proud of you :) It looks great. You won't be able to add photos into the header I made, unless you send them my way...of course, you could download that software and play around with it, like I did :)
ReplyDeleteGB, download Windows Live Writer, not Windows live, it's free and you just drag and drop photos in. Best if you convert to 72 pixels and then drop the longest side to 750 pixels. It remembers your different blog formats. I think she is the dogs....Bee's Knees. It also makes it hard for folk to rip your images off.
ReplyDeletePS. Am in need of a laugh can you repost Shadow the dog?
This post was supposed to be on Eagleton Notes. One of the problems of Windows Live Writer in which it was written is that you have to remember which blogs you are using. When you are trying to work on two blogs simultaneously and sort a problem on the PC (I'm using Palin for this) because Windows 7 won't recognise various of the bits of hardware and get the washing on the line and, well you know what it's like, and you've got a head like mine then problems occur.
ReplyDeleteYes. I'll repost the dog shadow one.
I'm a little confused. I don't see a new banner header here but I do see it at Eagleton Notes. (Well maybe you're playing around with things just as I happen to drop in.)
ReplyDeleteMy only complaint (which should really be ignored) is that I always have to enlarge text (ctrl+++) to be able to read blogs at all. Banners and pictures don't adjust to that, so part of them disappear out of sight for me. I can never read the text and see "the whole picture" at the same time. (That goes for all blog layouts of the "stretchy" full-screen kind.)
PS when I started writing that comment yours wasn't there... I've been using Live Writer a bit lately, I know it's easy to mix up which blog you're on
ReplyDeleteGB, I'm old so my two blogs are different colours one blue one a nauseating orange. I try and make life simple in my latter years. Glad folk like Live Writer it saved the day for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid Adrian that I manage to get very mixed up these days.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even realised you had two blogs. Now I've got even more catching up to do.
I blogged on Windows Live Writer on March 7 and 8th. I thought I had extolled its virtues at some time recently.
I, for one, am very grateful that you introduced me to Windows Live Writer. I couldn't even begin to entertain the thought of TWO blogs. And to play with my header would require at least half a day uninterrupted - and when does that ever happen around here?
