Changed the theme today!
Posted by admin on Nov 12, 2008 in In the beginning |
Did you notice the new header graphic? Well, if not, and you’re new, it is a new graphic. I wanted to develop a look-and-feel that more related to me, instead of the automatic design of the teme I am using. Here’s how I did it:
- I created a montage graphic in Photoshop
- I saved it out as a jpg file
- I uploaded into the theme’s images directory
- I changed the header.php file of the theme to reflect the new graphic
- I changed the .css style for the theme (didn’t work in showing the graphic)
- I changed the header several times to try and get the graphic to show (unsuccessfully)
- I gave up and placed a relative path linked <img> tag to the new header
- I realized I need to learn CSS Stylesheets
Well, at least to the outside world the page now has a new header graphic with my “logo”.
Let me know what you think about the design in the comments. Up next… I will tell you how I add the Google AdSense code to the sidebar.
