Technology Lesson

I've finally learned how to fancy up my blog a little bit. I added a header with an apple on it and I think it looks pretty good. What I haven't figured out how to do is replace the other header with the new one. All I can do right now is add the new header on top. Fortunately my new header matches the one under it, so it actually adds to the picture. I will probably have to change the html in order to fix it.

I've been trying to do a technology lesson every once in awhile. Mostly they just learn as they fool around with stuff, but I like to do a formal lesson once in awhile to add to their knowledge base. I think it just makes them more comfortable with this stuff and that can never hurt as they go out to start college or jobs.

I might have to work through this a little more before I actually make this a lesson though. I want to know what the problem spots are going to be before we hit them.

What I know so far is:
  1. Get a header from a website with free header pictures
  2. Right click on the full sized picture and choose Save Picture As
  3. Save the pic to My Pics
  4. Go to Customize (from viewing the blog) or Layout (from the dashboard)
  5. Choose Change Layout
  6. Edit the Header
  7. Browse for the pic from your computer and add it in
  8. Save it
  9. Tada!
