Shape'd: Simple Picture Cropping Tool

Girl Thinking

I've been wanting to change my blog header in this blog and my other blog for quite sometime now.  You know how it could get boring, seeing the same design everyday.  Or maybe I'm just being fidgety again with blog design hahaha! I didn't have enough urge to do so but now  I finally had the time and energy to do that on both blogs.  I haven't got my hands on Photoshop yet so I'm just using some crude ways of making header image graphics.  I still used CoolText for the blog title fonts and I got free images from Flicker and Microsoft Office.  I've been contemplating on buying images from various sites with stock photos.  I would have wanted those nice vectors but I thought of just getting free images for the meantime.

How to Make a Header Title Image Using Cool Text

Have you noticed the title header of this blog? I got it from Cool Text.   It's pretty much a very straightforward thing I did here by simply clicking on the Chick Flick logo found at the opening page of the site.  But it's a trickier business doing it on my other site, iHeart Good Health.  If you have come across that blog a few months ago, it had that humongous header image that I so loved at that time.  Well, people change, and when it comes to blog layout, I like to tinker once in a while.  So, the big header image is gone, which is kind of hard to miss hehehe.  Anyway, Ms. Rhodora of Warayblogger.com asked me how I came up with that and she asked if I paid for the header image.  You'd be happy to know, I never paid a single cent, but I did spend a few hours resizing and recoloring things.  

So here's a little tutorial on how to make a header image using Cool Text's graphics generator.
