This week I felt the need to get a new, better, more personalized header. The ones you make online are pretty good, but, sadly, not what I was looking for. So, once again I fired up GIMP and gave it another look. After much mouse clicking, head scratching and guessing, you can see the result in my brand-new heading above!
"
GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages.

But, this I can tell you. If you are trying to put an image in the 'Minima' template header, you have to delete a couple of borders in the header and description. Plus, you have to get rid of the title somehow in the 'Settings' area. Blogger won't let you not have a title. So, I put a title in, made the color white to match the background and made the font 0%. The code looks like this:
#blog-title {You will notice that there is no code for a border color. Leave the description box empty in the 'Settings' area. Blogger doesn't care if you fill that out or not.
font:Georgia,Serif;
margin:5px 5px 0;
padding:20px 20px .25em;
border-width:1px 1px 0;
font-size:0%;
line-height:1.2em;
font-weight:normal;
color:white;
letter-spacing:.2em;
}
What fun! I can't wait to play with GIMP again.
