Here is basically how I did my header graphic. I had one version that was too long for YouTube. After consulting with Iain Buchanan on the forum, who suggested cutting it in half, I revisited the video and decided to do it over again. I think this version is better.
Also I gave Michael Ottman a plug as well.
Hope this helps.

Hi Gene,
I had a look at your about me page and I’m not sure why the PPP image is not showing, maybe contact Matthew Wolfe, he helped a bundle with my blog. Gene i also noticed that when I went to watch your Youtube video it was remove because it is in too long. Maybe you could just create a Part 1 and Part 2 for you video.
Cheers

Thanks Mel, Sheesh! this is embarrassing… that’s one reason I lean toward hosting my own videos. I guess YouTube thought it was the same video, so I have re uploaded it with a different name, title and description. I am waiting for it to finish processing. Thanks for pointing this out. I am going to take some aspirin now, I have a headache.

Hi Gene,
Fantastic – I’ve got to give this a try.
The video is great. Your instructions are so good, I’m very confident that I’ll be able to do this myself.
I’ve got a question I’m hoping you can answer. Your header doesn’t have any text, but many blog headers do of course. What esle do we need to consider in such a case?
If you can answer this – great – if not, don’t worry – but thanks for sharing this Gene.
Keep in touch,
Andrew.

Hi Gene,
Great video and very informative. I, too, like your header image – it is very unique and stands out. I also had a question about adding text to your header. Do you know how to do this?
