Here are three easy ways to customize your blog in Blogger - change your banner, change your background and include an ad graphic.
BANNER:
- When you are in the design section you will see an outline of your blog - sort of a layout.
- Click on the word "Edit" by the Header section.
- Find "Image" and browse for the blog banner that was designed for you.
- Click on the file name and click "Open".
- The blog banner graphic will replace what you currently have – either text or an old graphic.
AD GRAPHIC - Stay in the design section.
- Find "Add Gadget". This will be on the left side of your blog layout, most likely.
- A menu will pop up. Find "Picture" and click on it.
- Find "Image" and browse for the ad graphic that was designed for you.
- Click on the file name and click "Open".
- The ad graphic will be on your sidebar.
BLOG BACKGROUND
- This one is more complicated.
- Find "Template Designer" in the design section.
- This will take you to a new page and it will look a lot different than the previous.
- If you've uploaded the blog banner and ad graphic you should be able to see it on this page.
- Click on "Background".
- Click on "Background Image" - there will be a square graphic that has the text "Background Image" above it.
- Click on "Upload Image".
- Browse for the pattern graphic that was designed for you.
- The pattern will appear immediately.
