I. Give. Out.
To whoever is reading this, I am a failed computer club chairman. Yup, three years in my school's computer club and nothing to show for it. It's a wonder I got an award at all. All I did in the club was to surf the net while my peers run riot. Well, on to less depressing stuff since I've already graduated from secondary school.
To whomever who is reading this, please help. Behold this plain and tired webpage (No offense to the designer, for I'm just waxing lyrical. I would not have chosen this template had it not displayed latent potential.) Observe the fallacies of the mundane red banner - which looks like stale tomato soup - and cringe. Inwardly, I groan each and every time I look at it, and herein lies my problem. How do you enlarge the length of the banner and replace the bloody red thing with a picture?
My years spent idling in the computer club have given me some knowledge of HTML. Below are the steps I took to lead a revolution against thegrand design, and a picture commemorating my failure:
Step 1: Switch blogger template with template from 'http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com/' to this (what you are looking at now) template
Step 2: Shake head at colour scheme and decides to change the .css file. Went to and copied from:
http://googlelite.free.fr/beckett.css
before saving in notepad ++ as .css file and uploading to googlepages at (with no changes made):
http://aikichaos.googlepages.com/umami1.css
Replaced @import url('http://googlelite.free.fr/beckett.css'); with
@import url('http://aikichaos.googlepages.com/umami1.css');
Step 3: Saved the template and previewed it. Look at Step 5
Step 4: After Step 3 failed, I reverted back to Step 1 and tried to insert the .css file in the template design itself. Look at Step 5.
Step 5:
In both cases, the sidebar decided to protest against my coup by going on strike below my posts. Perhaps my code is not incentive enough for change. I really need some revolutionary to help me.
Please, show me how to insert the CSS into the template or import it without errors. After that, editing should be a breeze. This problem have plagued me many times already as with my previous blogs (templates taken from same website). I like simple layouts like those of: http://anime.miao.us/ | http://darkmirage.com/ and the skins at blogskins are so packed. @_@
I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser and the standard Blogger.
If you are so kind as to provide me with further instructions as to how to add a banner and clear the header in the banner or introduce a skin similar in design to the forementioned blogs, I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
