My blog header…

Little did I know the interest I would draw with my blog header.  :)  I get lots of questions asking me how I did it, and could I please create a tutorial on it.

 

Here’s what I can tell you:

1.  It was created using Adobe Flash.  I bought the “Big Kahuna” Adobe package (or, as they call it, The Master Collection), and Flash was included in it.  I got the college rate on the package, so I only paid a little over $500 for everything.  To buy Flash on its own, it would cost $699.  (Yikes!)

2.  My knowledge of Flash is just about nothing.  I basically opened the program and messed around with it until I created my banner, and I haven’t touched it since.  I have some Flash books on hold at the library, so I’m hoping my knowledge of Flash will improve soon.  (That’s if I ever find time to read the books!)

3.  If I knew of a free or cheap program for creating flash headers, I would most definitely share that knowledge. 

4.  A tutorial is not coming any time soon.  I simply don’t know enough about the program, and I am busy with teaching full time, raising my family and getting my Master’s degree.  (Those darn priorities sneaking in on my fun!)

5. I know some blog designers will make headers.  Darcy is one that comes to mind.

6. Finally, I wish I was more of a help!  If you know of a great program that is cheap or free that can make the same kind of header, please feel free to share it in the comments section!
