Headers and scrolling blog buttons

Q: How did you make your new header?

Disclaimer: The only photo editing software I have is little old free Picasa.
I cropped the 4 pictures I liked using the “Square/CD Cover” option. Then, I selected all 4 pictures and clicked on the “Collage” button. I picked the “Grid” option and then changed the aspect ratio to 4 X 1 (because I had 4 pictures and I wanted them in one row). Click “Create Collage” and you’re almost there. Next you’ll need to log in to Blogger and go to the “Layout” tab. Click on the “Edit” button in your header and upload your image. BE SURE TO CHECK THE BOX TO SHRINK YOUR HEADER TO FIT. I missed it the first time, hence the 3 page wide header that some of you encountered.
Q: How did you get your buttons to scroll like that?
(See the right hand sidebar under “I get around”)
Emily from Not So Idle Hands directed me to this tutorial over on Be Different…Act Normal. In the first box of code, I changed the “left” to “up”. And then I copied and pasted the html codes from all my buttons.

    Hey you. Did you see that they are selling Hannah Anderson at Costco? I thought you'd appreciate knowing even if you don't have anyone to wear them right now. (I got Lil a dress for $13!)

    Just when I think that you have reached the top of the blog world you go ans surprise me again. :)

  5. I tried to add your button, but clearly I have no idea what I am doing. Help!

  6. ooh, thanks for the picasa header tip. I've needed a new header.

  7. Yay! I have had the plain old heading that came with the blog and had no idea how to change it. Now I have a cool one thanks to the easy directions. Thank you!

  8. Did you create the title in the Picasa software or is that font a standard Blogger font? I want to change my header font to something cute and fun, but Blogger's choices are…not. :(

    Thanks a million! It looks great!

  9. Char @ Crap I've Made says:

    The font is a standard Blogger font. I'm not tricky enough to do it the other way….yet. :o )
