Weeeell, since you're using the same base layout as we use over at BWR, and I do all the customising there....
There's lots of little things you can adjust, such as colour in multiple areas, font style and size etc, you just need to know where the settings are, and that I can definitely help you with.
As for headers and backgrounds, first you need to find a pic you want to use, then I can tell you how to add it :)
Making them yourself isn't exactly easy, unless you're skilled in that area and you haven't mentioned that you are, but if you know the kind of thing you want, asking for help is much easier, as others might know of existing pics that will fit the bill, or might even offer to make something for you.
So first, have a long think about "what" you want, then we'll talk about "how" :)
I changed the layout five times today. This one is just the most recent but I think it is my favorite so far.
So, me just saying I want it to look "pretty" isn't enough? ;) I'll think about it more and ask you more specific questions. Thanks for the offer to help! (and no I'm definitely not skilled in the area of making the images myself, though I did used to play with photoshop a lot).
well when I'm finally over this cold, I'd be happy to make a background for you, those are pretty simple to do as you really just need a smallish pic that can be "tiled" to fill the page.
If you have an idea what you want, or maybe a base image to work from, it's even easier. You've seen what I made for BWR, and I've done others too.
headers take more time though, so we'll leave that till last I think, unless we can find one ready made :)
That is a persistent cold! Happy Birthday, by the way! Hopefully you are feeling better and able to enjoy your day.
I'll look around for images and I might ask my sister to create a manip for me (she is good with PS since she is a photographer). Thanks again for offering to help! :)
