Blogging 201, Day Two: Headers and Titles

“Your header or title is the first thing people see when they land on your blog — does yours have the impact you want?

Today’s takeaways: we’ll understand what makes an effective header, what our header options are, and how to tweak our title or upload a custom header.”‘

Action time! If you have no header or visuals, use the tips in the linked materials to start brainstorming. If you already have something in place, take a look at some other bloggers you love to see how you stack up and get some fresh ideas. If you’re totally happy, head to the Commons to support your co-bloggers!

“When I first came out there was no such thing as Twitter or Facebook. And the blogs! Like, what is that?” Christina Aguilera

Blogging 201, Day Two

* The characteristics of a great header
* Header options and jargon
* Adding a header
* Adding a site logo
* How to come up with visuals for your blog

Header:

A photograph I took on my trip to Italy, Verbania: A tranquil scenic photo, conveniently lulling the readers into a false sense of security, and then they start reading… But seriously, this is a blog about everything and nothing 😉

Logo:

I have a logo for “gunroswell” and it is placed on my home page http://www.gunroswell.com.
But I feel, the current blog as it is, being extremely dynamic in nature, I don’t want to adorn it too much. Rather, I am trying to get rid of some of the things placed there earlier as I am trying to keep the look and feel as simple as possible and easy to navigate.

Keep calm and keep on blogging!
