Blinking header freebies!

It's been over a week since I posted anything (blushing) so to make up for my slack I have made you two different header freebies with backgrounds to match. Big deal right? Well, yes it is, THEY MOVE! There is a red and green cardinal one and a blue and white snowflake one. They are my first moving images and I think they turned out great!

Red Bird Header
Photobucket

Red Bird Background

<style type="text/css">
body {background-image: url("http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb262/rainbowbrightchick85/movingchristmasbirdbackground-1.jpg"); background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; }




Falling Snow Header
Photobucket

Falling Snow Background

<style type="text/css">
body {background-image: url("http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb262/rainbowbrightchick85/movingchristmassnowbackground-1.jpg"); background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; }



They do however require a few different steps to install. It looks complicated but it's really not.

First:
1. Install the matching background just like you would for my other backgrounds.
2. Go into your header (layout-page elements-header) and remove any image you may have.
3. Also remove any description text you may have.
4. Save your header.
5. Go into "layouts" then "fonts and colors"
6. Change the blog title and border color to white

Now you should have a totally white header- don't touch it anymore! And the background.

Then:
1. Pick which header of mine you want and click it
2. This will take you to my Photobucket account. Look on the right side and find where it says "html code"
3. Click that code to copy it
4. Paste that code into an html gadget (layout-page elements-add gadget)
5. Move that gadget directly below your header (left click it, hold the click down and drag the box)

The white header will still show as space but that doesn't matter right? If it bothers you then don't use this header or tutorial. I hope that all made since. If not then just look at the pictures and enjoy!
