HAPPY PINK SATURDAY BACKGROUNDS

Pink is this year's colour - it's official! Home & Garden (a French blog) says so! So it must be true! Oh la la, what a colour!

However, it's not the same colour in my Photoshop7 programme - I had to use ColorZilla (a free Firefox app) to get the exact colour coding!

Due to computer problems I haven't been participating lately, but as it's behaving itself again - AND I've sorted out my keyboard (see the post below this one) so I'm back to normal (ish) again. To celebrate, I've made a background and header set in two colourways - a little Spring-like (I'm positive Spring is just around the corner...)

LACE FLOWERS - PINK

As you can see, this works for a 3-colum blog - also the new Designer Templates! Here, I used Awesome No 2, then adjusted it to tone in with my background. This template will also work with some free WordPress templates (eg: Bueno) as well as the older Blogger templates (eg: Minima). It will also work with wide 2-col blogs etc.

Copy ALL the code and paste into an html widget box (it'll load fastest if the widget is at the bottom of your blog):

<style type="text/css">
body {background-image: url("http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu313/1stFloorFlatComputery/749b8e3a.jpg"); background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; }
</style>
<div id="tag" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:50px; z-index:50; width:150px; height:30px;">

</a></div>

HEADER

Header design copyright Susie Jefferson - bee border from Penniwig's

Custom Text
Either left-click to bring the header up to full size, then right-click to copy to your computer. Add your own text using your favourite graphics programme. Upload to Blogger and tick 'Instead of title and description'. If using a 3-col or wide 2-col template, DON'T click the 'shrink to fit' option.

Blogger's Default Text
Either left-click to bring the header up to full size, right-click to copy to your computer, then upload to Blogger, using the default header text by ticking 'Behind title and description'. OR download the header code instead (above). Upload to Blogger using the default header text by ticking 'Behind title and description'.
LACE FLOWERS - BLUE

This is using the old Editor, and a modified (to 3 columns) Minima template, so you can see how the same background design (although a different colourway) can work on different templates. You can also see that I customised the header with my own fonts. If you need to adjust the placement of the header in Minima or any of the older templates, here's my tutorial.

Copy ALL the code into an html widget:

<style type="text/css">
body {background-image: url("http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu313/1stFloorFlatComputery/4d11cc0c.jpg"); background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; }
</style>
<div id="tag" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:50px; z-index:50; width:150px; height:30px;">
<a href="http://1stfloorflatblogology.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">
<img border="0" src="http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu313/1stFloorFlatComputery/9061ddc2.png"/>
</a></div>
