Including a Header in Blogger

Your blog’s header is one of the most important parts of your blog. At the very least, a header should include your blog’s title, but more often than not, blog headers include a graphic and subtitle or description of the blog. Each of these parts of a header helps to tell visitors what your blog is about within seconds. They also help communicate your blog’s personality to visitors.

To edit your blog’s header, follow these steps:

1. In the Header box of the Page Elements Window (the figure below), click the Edit link.

Layout Tab - Including a Header

The Configure Header window opens (see below).

2. In the Blog Title box, enter the title you want to appear in your blog’s header. The title you enter in your blog’s header does not need to match the title in your blog’s domain name.

3. In the Blog Description box, enter the text you want to appear with your blog title in your blog’s header. The space available in your header isn’t very big. Don’t clutter it with a long description. Instead, use a subtitle or tagline in the Blog Description box to communicate further what your blog is about to visitors in just a few words.

4. If you wish to include a graphic in your blog’s header, select the radio button next to From Your Computer or next to From the Web depending on where the image you want is saved.

5. Click the Save button when you’re done making your edits. You return to the Page Elements window where you can click the View Blog link to see your changes online or continue editing your blog.
