How I Changed My Wordpress Banner PT. 2
By art coach | July 31, 2007
I just wanted to make some additional points related to my change of the header. As I do more there will probably be more postings.
- It is important to look in the theme folder for the images folder. The file was called banner.jpg
- The file name must remain the same regardless of what changes you are making with the image. You do not want to mess up the code the designer has done. Now, I do not know php yet so a mess up could be a major event
- All the file modifications were done in Photoshop. I added layers and a drop shadow.
- I saved the art with the Photoshop file name to keep it as a master on my desktop. Always keep a copy with all the layers so that you can make changes in case things do not work out. Then I did a SAVE AS with the same file name in jpg to my desktop.
- I took the file out of the wp image folder and replaced it with my new version.
- I used a great FTP program with my host, Bluehost to re-install the image folder to my Wordpress site.
Thanks for listening, Email me with any questions.
