Add your own custom text and pictures to your premade
Heres a video tutorial I put together to help those with very little technical knowledge, customise their premade template. This tutorial will bring your through the steps to add your own custom text and images into your header using the photo editing program GIMP.
Feel free to pause the video in order to catch all the steps, as it moves along pretty quick. Be sure to make the video full screen before watching so you can see what's happening.
If you have any questions or need clarification on any of the steps feel free to contact me- I am more than happy to help.

NOTE:
If you are having problems with blogger uploading your header all pixelated- you can also upload your header using these steps:
1) Upload your header image to Photobucket or another free web image host.
2) Grab the direct image URL ie: http;//www.YOURIMAGEURL.jpg
3) Go to Blogger and go to the header area (it's under the DESIGN - PAGE ELEMENTS area). A pop up window will open. Instead of "browsing" for your image, put the URL in the "From the Web" line.
4) Click save
Your header will not be pixelated as the image is not being stored on Picasa (ie: Blogger image host).
