I'm sure many of you have seen the blogs here on ActiveRain with custom headers and backgrounds and wondered how you could get your own. Brad Andersohn put together a great tutorial on how to use the ActiveRain Blog Customizer - The "NEW" ActiveRain Blog Customizer - Version 2.0 - and in it he mentioned a great site, Picnik.
Many people have asked me "James, how do I get a COOL ActiveRain blog like you?" and before Picnik existed I would have had to say use a program like Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, or any other image editing program. Well I am thankful to say that is not the case and today I am going to give you a video tutorial on how to use Picnik to crop your own photos, add text, effects, and upload them to your ActiveRain Blog.
So sit back and enjoy. If after the video you have any questions please let me know!
