Change of logo code

Hi everyone,
Just a quickie to let you all know that I have changed the code for my Siggi Shop logo.
The image is exactly the same, but where I host it is different.
so if you do have my logo displayed on your own blog or website (thank you!)
I would be very grateful if you could change the code to the new one.
The code is in the sidebar
<<<<<<< over there
all you need to do is add it to a new gadget (html/javascript)
and remove the old code.

If you host the image yourself from your own site or from your own photobucket account then you don't need to do anything. If in doubt, please use the code in the sidebar.

I will be removing the image, along with others I am changing, from my old account over the next few days/weeks.

Thank you so much,
Jo xx

removing the 2 line border from around your header

Presuming you are using the Minima template on blogger, here's what to do...

click on customise then layout then click on edit html

it is always a good idea to make a backup of your current template before altering the html


now, scroll down until you see this bit of code...

/* Header
-----------------------------------------------
*/

#header-wrapper {
width:660px;
margin:0 auto 10px;
border:1px solid $bordercolor;
}

#header-inner {
background-position: center;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

#header {
margin: 5px;
border: 1px solid $bordercolor;
text-align: center;
color:$pagetitlecolor;
}

can you see in thefollowing bit of code in the #header-wrapper and #header sections?

border:1px solid $bordercolor;

well change that to

border: 0;


Now, preview if you want to to check that it has worked... then SAVE it!

New look

Those of you are very kind to have my logo on your blogs may have noticed that the logo has changed. That's because I have been tinkering in PSP. I fancied a change of design, altho decided to keep the grey/blue colour tone.
I made the logo to match, but named it the same as the old one so that it would change for everyone, meaning nobody would have to change the code on their blog.

Siggi Shop's open for business!

Blog header Update!

Firstly I want to thank each and everyone of you who have either had a blog header made by me or who just admire them and leave such wonderful comments, it really makes my day to know that the headers are appreciated :)

Ok, the reason for this post... I have decided to change the width of the headers that I make from 660 pixels wide to 648 pixels.
The reason why is because most of my requests are from blogger users using minima templates and to make the header fit correctly inside the double-line border each blogger needs to change the header-wrapper width in the html code of their blog.
Its is easier for me to reduce the width by just 12 pixels so that the header will fit correctly as soon as it is uploaded.
Obviously, I can try to help make fit any headers made for those that have any of the other templates, but as most of you are using minima and are changing the background to match your new headers it seems easier for me to make this change to the width.

Also... I tested an animated (sparkly) header today and found that once it uploaded to my test blog I couldn't change it back :o
I found the problem to be connected to IE (cookies perhaps?)
anyway, I had to use firefox to correct this glitch and now have a normal header again.
Just thought i'd mention it incase anyone else is having the same problem ;)

Thanks for taking time to read this, Jo xx

A blog header made for you

Blog header designed for you

Lots of people are blogging, and most make their own title headers, indeed, many of my friends have displayed their handywork on their page.
My friend Emma mentioned that she didn't know where to start to make her own blog header, so I took a look at her blog and made her one using her own crafting work as inspiration and to make it personal for her.
I'm sure that there must be other bloggers out there that would like a new header for their blogs too.
If you are one of those bloggers, and you'd like me to help design you a blog header too, then please email me using either the button in the left sidebar or the link at the bottom of this post, let me know a rough idea what you are looking for and i'll do the rest.

Once your header is made I will send it to you by email, where you can save it to your pc and transfer it to your blog.

The size of your blog header will be approximately 648 x 170 pixels, and will usually be sent as a GIF
(a different size/format will sometimes be made based on what your requirements are)


Watermarks... Please ensure that you have the correct photo editing software to enable you to add a watermark to your work, the watermarks WILL NOT work with Windows Paint.



IMPORTANT! please read...
Blog backgrounds are made based on a 1024 x 768 screen resolution, which is the most popular monitor setting. If you use a different resolution or screen size, I still might be able to design for you but please let me know BEFORE I start work on your design, thank you.



Please email me to place an order, Thank you.
