Create Your Own Blog Background (blogger)
General explanation on how to create your own background (not meant as instructions for those who have no idea how to use their program). Also, instructions on how to add your own background to your blog. More info on my blog: teresabelle.blogspot.com
In this week’s web design video blog, Nick and James talk about Google Chrome and focus on Photoshop’s Save For Web GIF transparancy settings. The Matte setting in Save For Web allows web designers control over the colour of the Halo around the graphic. Check out the supporing blog post at www.crearedesign.co.uk

@OisinRalph Yes, I use photoshop CS4 now. Any program that lets you create things like this will work:-) Good luck!
That is so awesome, thank you so much-
Thanks, it worked! But now i only got the image very small on the background insteda of one image over the whole background. Can you help me with that?
This is too much work, just for a background… IL GIVE UP JUSTIN BIEBER KILL ME
What are the Dimensions of the size of the background..
Hello, I followed your exact instructions, I used photoshop cs3 to make the image but did everything like you said but when I add the code and go preveiw it gives me this error message: Invalid variable declaration in page skin: Variable is used but not defined. Input: bgcolor. can you please help me with this, thank you so much.
Thank you so much this helped alot. xxxxxx
@teresabellec k thank u^^
@KTbeat do an online search for “photoshop elements” and you’ll find the program. Also consider looking on ebay for “photoshop elements”. Hope that helps!
@teresabellec o um no idea but ok thank u for replying anyways^^ sorry not to smart in technology haha
@KTbeat In the video I am using Photoshop Elements by Adobe. It’s a great program!
@triciamaeuy There are several programs you can use. Any scrapbooking program will work, and I think some people have even mentioned using programs like Microsoft Publisher. But I only am familiar with Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. You can get Elements for under $100 and probably quite a bit under that amount if you look on ebay and buy a used copy.
thank you so much! works perfectly on my blog after I had to change the file size to less than 1 mb. Clearly instructed, even without the sound! ^_^
That means…. if we don’t have Adobe Photoshop… We can’t create our own background?
wat program is it ur using?
Fabulous! thank you! (and i’m cool with the no sound!) the typed information was what I really needed anyway!
thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I have finally been able to make and upload my own personalised blog background, YOU ARE THE BEST!
Thank you soooo much for sharing this tutorial!
@Webosaursgangsters Can you send me a link to your blog so I can look at it? You can leave a comment on my blog with your website link, and I can look. i”m guessing the file is larger than 1 mb, which will make it upload too small. You’ll need to make sure you reduce the quality some while saving it until you get the size under 1mb. Once it’s under 1mb, and if you have the measurements correct, it should stretch across correctly. But send me a link to your website if you want me to look.
@Webosaursgangsters Oh actually I had posted the direct link to my blog post with the code in the video description above, which is now found directly under the video itself. Just click on that link.
@Webosaursgangsters I’m guessing you found it? You go to my blog, which you can find the link in the description area above. Then look for the TUTORIAL button on the right of the blog and the link is right under that for the blog background tutorial and that is where the code is.
Hey I did What you said.. But Look what Happened itThe Background got smaller it was the size
Hey i Cant find the Replacement Code on your Blog…. Can you Send me the LINK OF THE pOST WITH THE Code
I can’t get to my computer right now to check and tell you for sure. But it depends on your dpi/ppi (dots per inch/pixels per inch), which is at 72 for a blog background. So, take 10 inches and multiply it by 72 pixels = 720 pixels.
Or you can take 1450 px and divide by 72, which will convert px measurements into inches for you.
You need to be sure to set your dpi to 72, since this number can be set to anything and will affect the measurement results.
Thanks…hehe. I didn’t have a microphone or even a webcam at the time, though I know some sound would be ideal:-)
thanx….good VID!!!
I have a question though… when i have a Logo with a dropshadow on a transparent background.. GIFS don’t work out..is there a fix for that..??
