How to Add a Header Banner in Blogger
A header banner adds a touch of professionalism to a blog. It lets visitors know they have found a blog that the owner puts a great deal of effort into, and it helps you generate brand recognition that your readers will begin to remember. The default design for Blogger displays the title of the blog at the top of the page. You can design a new banner image for your blog's header area and upload it using the Blogger design customization page.
