Although I am excited to get started with the blogging, I have COMPLETELY gotten side tracked with creating an original template for the site. I began with Photoshop, which I already had but rarely used before. To my surprise, it is somewhat convoluted to figure out. Finally after spending days on creating my original background template and heading....the image does not fit on the blog page! It is too short. I am using the 1 megabyte file size to upload the image to Photobucket and all the other little tips to get the image to fit properly. But I refuse to purchase the "Premier" service from Photobucket just to make the image fit. So all those countless hours of creating my "masterpiece" background I have resorted to the idea of just using a free template that someone else created (big thanks to pyzam.com). Afterall, I am not blogging about creating blog templates.
Check out the templates I made below. I really wanted to use the one at the top, but just couldn't get it to fit across the webpage. I started thinking the fitting had something to do with the quality of the image, and the the number of layers used (which all have nothing to do with the background fitting across the site) and therefore I settled for the other three. Looking at my current background you can tell none of the other backgrounds work either.
What do you think for my first attempt at creating a background?Now that I have gotten away from the background rampage (may return when I figure out the fitting problem), I can begin my exploration into the world of photography.
