    Help please! I just purchased a lovely blog header and a (seamless paper) background but I have NO idea how to get them on my blog! It is a photography blog so I need the ability to have the pics be 1024pix wide. Any help would be awesome!
    Oh, btw, my header and background are both PSD files.

    Thanks,
    Kristi

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    In order to edit your blog layout you will need to purchase the CSS upgrade also.

    BTW, photos 1024px wide are just too big and will take a lot of time to load especially if you have several photos on the front page. Also, assuming you’ll have a sidebar of at least 200px width, the container (or posting area) should at least be of 1064px width (plus the 200px of the sidebar) your total layout with would be close to 1280px (which is what most screen resolutions are) creating a horizontal scroll bar.

    My recommendation would be making your overall layout of about 1000px width so that it covers most screen resolutions without creating a horizontal scroll bar. My photoblog is of 1000px width. Take a look at it if you wish to have a better idea.

    My photos are 750px wide.

    Again, this is just a recommendation, and something for your consideration.

    Now going back to the CSS topic, you will need to purchase the CSS upgrade (and decent CSS knowledge) to modify an existing theme or start your own design from scratch using the Sandbox theme.

    Hope this helps, and If you have more questions, ask away.

    “(and decent CSS knowledge)” should read “(and HAVE decent CSS knowledge)”
