In order to make a fangtastic blog you will need to do just a few simple things…A Great start would be your background. Here is where to start: You need to either upload an image or use or customize one of the backgrounds that blogger has for you...
Here is how to upload an image.
If I have designed an image for you then just upload that image...
You can find backgrounds online but be careful there are lots of scams out there....
1. Log on to your blogger account
2. Pick a template. I really like the simple banner with a book background…. When you set up your tabs and pages it has the most features and looks the most like a PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE and everything is set up easy for your user to find.
Go to Template…Then click on Customize.
This is the screen you will now see....Click on Background...and then click on the actual image that appears.....(see the white arrow) Then you will see yet another window POP up.
Here is the screen you will see...
To upload an image Click on the UPLOAD button....and choose a image from your desktop...Don't forget to click DONE and Save the changes...It is that easy..
Here is how to Customize a blogger background.
1. Log on to your blogger account
2. Pick a template. I really like the simple banner with a book background…. When you set up your tabs and pages it has the most features and looks the most like a PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE and everything is set up easy for your user to find.
Go to Template…Then click on Customize. Choose a template any one will do but I love the simple template...with the book background. but choose the one you like.
After you have selected your template you will want to get started on your background customization...
Click on ADVANCED...then BACKGROUNDS and then set the color for your outer background color...you can also change the section in the middle of the blog...and the other is for your header...
Not sure what color... HERE is a link to a color picker...it allows you to upload an image so you can get a color to match your any of your other blog elements.
Now Click on background....and this is the screen you will see...
Scroll threw all the preset backgrounds and choose one that may work for your blog OR click on PATTERNS....There are about 9 different ones if you scroll to the last few options...and it uses the color you have already preset in the previous steps...
That is it....don't forget to SAVE all Changes and always apply changes to the blog that you make...that is the most common mistake...SAVE SAVE SAVE
I hope you enjoy this HOW TO...If you use it please post a comment below....and a link to your blog...I would love to see it. If you need some professional help please see my ETSY SHOP...
