picture time

today i learned how to add a picture to the header of my blog!

it took a lot of trial and error, but with the help of my much more computer savvy hubby, i got-r-done. i'm very excited. the biggest hurdle was getting it to the right size. i had no problem getting it into the header, but it kept taking up the entire screen when i loaded the web page (very annoying). my initial solution was to reduce the file size, which didn't work at all. so sam reminded me that the file size is only related to quality, not image size, at which point i began messing with the pixel size until i got it to the dimensions i wanted. being my anal-retentive self (and having my anal-retentive husband helping me) i had to get it perfectly positioned inside the little yellow box. 30 re-sizes later, i got it to the perfect size and shape. and now there are pretty tulips smiling at you every time you load up my blog.

awesome!
