@cteavin, I think by “wallpaper,” your mean background, and the thing over it would be either a post or page. And yes, your site will look the same on all major browsers, assuming they’re updated/relatively recent versions of the browser — we test everything across every major platform.

The link you posted gives an error. It’s saying page not found.

I had so much fun using PicMonkey to play around with a new header image using one of my pictures. I changed my header, but I am not sure what I think yet. I think I’ll give a few days before making a decision to keep it or not. Thank you to the blogger who suggested PicMonkey!

@michelleweber, so this Zero to Hero Challenge is the very first one? I think it’s a great boost for beginning bloggers, so you should definitely do it again in 2015.

I finally got my blog done the way I like it. I changed my tag line to a shorter one. My last one was really long.

Feedback anyone? I’m off to check out your cool blogs!

@lunacooler, it sure it! We definitely plan to offer it again, along with other booster challenges during the year.

I’ll be sending a survey to everyone at the end of the month, so your honest feedback will make it even better for the next crop of bloggers!

I can’t wait for Theme Thursday! I really like the themes WordPress releases because the background and header can’t get too much in the way of reading the blog posts.

@aimeeheartsjewelry if you were wondering who suggested PicMonkey, it was I who did. I’m not trying to brag, just trying to clear things up :)

I did my own banner using PhotoScape. It’s still a work-in progress, though.

Thank you Michelleweb. What I was looking for was how to adjust the column width.

I feel accomplished now.

loved this task I never would have even thought of doing that. I like how it looks with the image background to my Callejas Thinks title

I’ve always wondered if you remember me ma’am

Oh god a visual challenge. I am horrible at making things look good and this is going to take me a lot longer than a day. Is anyone else in this position?

After reading some posts here, I learned that it is easy to overlay your own text onto photos, without spending money on software.
I spent a few hours last night playing with Piction and Preview on the Mac. It is such a laborious process for me (I had to search for things such as ‘what is the dock on the Mac?’, ‘what is the wand picture for on preview’ – this is how basic my knowledge is). Also, I had to update all my operating systems as they are so out of date (I still have not managed this on my phone because despite finding a search that told me how to delete all the 1000 photos on there without selecting each one, I still couldn’t do it!).
It is, however, great to know that with a bit more practice I will be able to get the text I want over the photo I want.

@timethief @michelleweber – can you tell me what search I should enter to try to learn how to delete the light fitting from the wall in the background of my photo (light fitting is rectangular with squares on it). I tried but using the wand on preview just left a smooth grey blob that did not match the grainy effect of the photo. I want to put my text in that area.
Can’t believe I was thinking about going self hosted last month!!!

I had just done this on both my blogs.
I do have a question. I would like all my blog post to be a group together so it is not splitting up my photography post how would I go about doing that?
I know with images we can create galleries so I am assuming there might be a way to do this.

I did not say that quite right… Let me try again.
Is there a way to put all the challenge post together like in a group and all my photography post together so that is not mixed up. Like one challenge post and the one photography post?
