Stop pulling the hair...

Thanks for the votes.

Hey Jordan

Great Value, thanks for the tips. Great nuggets.

I love JING

I love Jing, and I use it constantly to create Facebook Ads and banner ads, and now I see how I can help my team use it for their blogger heading (cuz not everyone uses Illustrator!)

Thanks Jordan.

Great!

Thanks Jordan! I've been wanting to add a custom header to my blog but didn't know where to start. Your easy to understand instructions are invaluable.

This is Awesome Jordan

I never thought of using Power Point for my graphics. I usually use Photoshop, but Power Point is so much easier, and it comes with all the cool lettering!!! What a great tip. I recently just started using Jing and I love it. Haven't been able to figure out how to quite size it from the top like you did in this video. I'll have to hit you up on Skype sometime about that! :) Great tutorial! Staci

Anytime Staci

You let me know what you need, and I'll show you how to do it. Jing is awesome... and i've even learned a few new tricks in the past month or so.

Awesome Value

Hi Jordan,

Great video. Thanks for sharing this. This is indeed a great alternative because most headers cost from 60-65USD. Thanks again.

Thanks Jordan

Neat tip. I've been looking for a way to do just that without paying to have one designed. Thanks.

Happy to save you money

Glad to save you money. This video came to me after a few students of mine asked me to show them how to put together a blog header... so I've put up a page on my blog for anyone to ask me questions, and If i have an answer, i'll create a video.

Terrific Video

Hi Jordan,
I love the Thesis Theme for all the reasons you mentioned, but seeing you walk us through how to use PowerPoint to make a custom header image was my big take-away. Thanks for putting this video together and teaching people the value of customizing blog headers. Makes a big difference in the long run for personal branding and business development!

Ida

WOW - Powerpoint? REALLY?!

Hey Jordon!

It was an extremely valuable video! Thanks so much for the tips! You've also confirmed for me that Thesis really is the way to go!

Thank You!

Jordan, thanks! I was dreading putting my new head on my blog, but you made it a breeze for me.

Cheers Jordan

Wow, cool, appreciate the info.
Much appreciated Jordan,
Cheers Dale.

I watched the whole thing

I have to say that was the first time in a long time I watched a 14 minute video all the way through.

Very well planned out
Good speaking no ahhhs or ummms I can recall like I do lol
Very educational

Header on Blog

This video was right on time for what i needed to know how to do. Saved me some money. I'd a never thought I could use power point for this.

Thanks, Earl

Thank you!

Hey Jordan,

Thank you so much very helpful and valuable information.
Much appreciated

Cheers

Great Nuggets Jordan...

Those were some great tricks on creating a custom header. Never thought about Power Point as the medium for putting it all together. Paint.net is a great photo program to tweek things, and it is free as is Jing - one of my favorite programs.

I am in the process of setting up my Blog right now, went to Adobe Photoshop and registered for their Free 30 day trial. Found that to be another really easy way to creatively put a header together. Hint: Watch some YouTube vid's on how to create b/c Photoshop uses Layers. Easy once you figure it out. But, avoid the frustration and give yourself some prep time b/c the program is so powerful.

Would be interested in knowing what else you have learned from Jing also in the past month.

Thanks for putting that all together.

BTW - Flexibility theme. I just went to get it, the free version - Flexibility 2. I could not find it. I downloaded Flexibility 3 and in order to get all the controls and more that were available in the free v.2, you have to upgrade to the $127 pkg which gives you an incredible amount of control over your blog. Thought I would pass that along as I saw you had Version 2. I searched all over for that and everything just kept leading me to Version 3. Thanks Again! Great Job!

Thank you

Thanks for sharing a most excellent video. Haven't heard of flexibility. May have to check that one out.

Great tips Dennis

Dennis,

Thanks for all the tips. I've just setup photoshop on my computer, and am totally lost as to how to use it. started watching some brief tutorials today, but haven't gotten to the layers yet. Thanks for the tip.

I haven't actually used flexibility in 6 months or more. just wnated to make the tutorial for my previous students. good to know.

Jordan

Thanks

Excellent video, and also would like to thank you for the tip on the flexability theme

Thanks for taking the mystery out

I always wondered how to customize the blog header and your less than 15 minute video took the mystery out!

Thanks and keep the good works coming!

Customizing header

Thank you Jordan for that. I have been using fireworks, adobe and all. This looks a much easier way for someone like me who is no techy
Jonathan

Works Wonderfully

Hey Jordan,

Thanks for the great video. I tried this out with the Thesis theme, and it worked great. All along, I wasn't sure how I could get the header done.

Thanks to your video, I have everything sorted now.

Much appreciated.

You made my day better...THANKS!

Hi Jordan,

In the process of moving my blog from a free to a paid platform (FLEXX), I knew a new header was needed. Your video came along at the right time. I guess when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Thanks for the tips.
