Creating a Blog Header with PowerPoint

Open PowerPoint

Add clipart/images and text as desired. As a rule of thumb, you’ll

want to use no more than 1/3 of the total slide height for your

design.

Once you’ve created the design the way you want, you must save it

as a jpeg file:

Save As > Other Formats >

Use the arrow beside “Save as type:” and choose JPEG File Interchange

Format >

Be sure to note where

the file is to be saved*

and then choose Save

A window will appear:

If you choose Every Slide, a folder will be made with each

slide saved as a picture (jpeg.) If you choose Current Slide

Only, then just the specified slide will be saved as a jpeg.

To add your new header to your blog, go to Appearance > Header. Note that not all themes allow you to change the

header.

Choose the Browse button

and go to where your

header is saved.* Once the

path to your new header

image is shown, choose Upload.

Select the portion of the slide to be used and choose Crop and Publish.

Your new header will appear on your blog:

*This image

will be saved

on the desktop.
