How to Create a WordPress Header With a Picasa Photo
Adding an image to the header of a WordPress blog is one simple way to customize your blog and make it more visually appealing. Give the blog a personal touch by using a photo you've taken yourself as the header image. After downloading an image you've previously uploaded to your Picasa account, modify it so that it fits the dimensions WordPress requires, then upload it to your WordPress account to use it as the header image for your blog.
