Now you can customize your header image with just a few clicks of buttons! This is done with the use of the GD graphics technique.
How does it work?
First, I will decide which area of the header to allow custom image. Then I’ll program that section and assign a folder for you to upload your own images.
How to make it work?
Very simple. After you have unzipped the theme, you’ll find a folder named “custom” (for Photo Frame theme) or “photos” (for Postage Sydney theme). Simply upload your image(s) with the correct size to the folder and that image(s) will show up in the header.
What is the file extension for the image?
Your image should be in .jpg format.
What if I upload more than 1 image?
Your images will be rotated when you click refresh button a few times.
As an example, look at our Photo Frame theme as shown below. As you can see, there are 3 photo frames in the header. I have programmed the theme such that you can change the image in the middle frame.

I have created yet another special effect for my Wordpress themes!
If you are tired of having the standard font style (like Arial, Verdana, Tahoma etc) for your header title, you can use my theme with special font.
Take a look at my Photo Frame theme. The header title is not the standard font.

More info about this theme…
I constantly look out for ways to improve my themes. One thing about how special my themes is that I have incorporated a special font in the header title on some of my themes.
Take a look at the demo of our Mouse IT theme, for example. Look at the header title. It doesn’t show one color code but it is the gradient blue.
How do we achieve this effect?
I use a CSS trick to create gradient text effect with a PNG image, no Javascript or Flash.
Can I change the blog title in the Wordpress admin?
Definitely! In the Wordpress admin, follow this process: Setting -> General. Then key in your blog title in the “Blog Title” field.

Does your free theme downloaded elsewhere look nice on IE browser but look bad on Firefox? If your theme doesn’t look good on all major browsers, you are losing visitors.
I know how important it is to have a theme with major browsers supported. Before I release every theme, I’ll test it rigorously on 6 most commonly-used browsers, namely IE7, IE8, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome!!
As an example, I found a free theme and viewed it on Firefox. When I switch to IE, some images are missing. I then study why the images showed up on Firefox but disappeared on IE. On a closer look, I found out that the file extension of the images were .png (Portable Network Graphics). As of this writing, IE browser can’t display .png images.
I know what works and what doesn’t for these browsers so for every theme that I release on this site, I make sure that they all look good on the 6 browsers.
