Create your own web banner/header
Export your logo as a bitmap (.png) from Inkscape - if you have not already from yesterday.
-
File > Export Bitmap
-
Click the "Drawing" tab
-
Type in a filename (ex: yourname_logo)
-
Click "Export"
-
Verify that your file saved as a ".png" , and that it has a transparent background.
Open all necessary files in GIMP.
-
Download the
header file to your computer. Now open "header.xcf" in GIMP.
-
Open your logo that you exported as a bitmap (.png) in GIMP. Copy and paste it as a layer in
the header.xcf file
Customize the image.
-
Replace the current "logo" layer (Heather's logo) with that file and rename it "my logo"
(should be your logo image).
-
Edit and customize the type (font, size, color, etc) .
-
Replace the image layer (Heather's image) with your own
Remember to save frequently! Always save as a .xcf file.
When completely finished, save the file as "header.jpg" - so that it can be embedded into your
personal webpage.
(You should still have a copy saved as a .xcf file.)
