Go to Scrapblog and create a free account. Play around with the program by creating on a blank page.
You can change your:
- background
- add stickers
- add text
Free To a Point
Many images/backgrounds/packs are free, but some cost money. It all depends on how much you like it/if you want to spend the money.
You can bring images to the front/back & flip them vertically/horizontally. You can upload your own pictures and add them to frames.
If you want to leave the brain work out of creating, select a pre-made template/theme. You can delete images/text and add your own photos to existing frames. It is super fun!
Saving Your Creation To Jpeg Format
When you are happy with your creation, you need to do the following:
#1 Save it.
#2 Hit I’m Finished.
#3.Publish and Share online (this is a new requirement so I just email it to myself).
#4. Export it as a jpeg (upper left hand corner select File, export as jpeg in the drop down menu) to your desktop.
Once you have your image saved in jpeg format, use an editing program (if necessary) of choice to crop it. I usually use Photoshop Elements or Microsoft Office Picture.
My Second Secret Love
If you have created a new header for your blog site, go to the layout page and click on “edit header”. Upload your new header (select “instead of header and description” and “shrink to fit 860 pixels wide) and save!
Blog Button Image
If you have created a new blog button image (like the one I created to the left), now is the time to transform it into a button. When I was first getting into blogging, It seemed like I searched for hours on how to make a button.
My Third Secret Love
Upload your image to Photobucket and grab the html direct link. You will need this to create your button code.
