How to install a blog header in blogger
Okay let’s get on with it and install us a blog header. First things first, set the width of your blog. I’d suggest go for the maximum width that blogger’s editor allows. Just about all monitors can handle that comfortably and it allows you to post really big pictures.
On your dashboard click on DESIGN
Go to TEMPLATE DESIGNER
Go to ADJUST WIDTHS
Move the slider for ENTIRE BLOG to maximum
Choose how wide you want your sidebars to be and move the slider
click APPLY TO BLOG
Make a note of your choices in your Blog Design Log

You can even go wider than this, but some people will have to use sliders to see your whole blog and it does require some HTML editing, so I’ll save that for a later date.
Now that you have your new header all ready you have to upload it to your blog. First make sure that it is the correct size. Using your photo editing software resize your picture. Resize it in pixels and as a maximum size it to your blog width. So the width of your picture must not be more than 1000 pix (if that is how wide you made your blog). Then upload the header picture:
On your dashboard click on DESIGN
Go to PAGE ELEMENTS
click on EDIT HEADER
UPLOAD picture from pc
click INSTEAD OF TITLE AND DESCRIPTION
click SAVE
Go to PAGE ELEMENTS
click on EDIT HEADER
UPLOAD picture from pc
click INSTEAD OF TITLE AND DESCRIPTION
click SAVE
If you choose to make a slightly smaller header (which often looks better) than you might want to center it above your main posting area and your sidebar(s). This requires a tiny amount of html editing. Don’t be scared it is real easy.
