We've released an update to everyone's Blog Settings page. For those who don't know, this is a section in the admin where, if you have set up a blog, you can change the information about the blog and change the theme. Now, we've added in what we think should be a very popular feature, which is the ability to upload your own header graphic.

The basic specifications are that it should be 900px in width, a jpg file and whatever height you'd like, although anything over 150px in height might dominate your blog a bit much. Some themes take better to customizing the header than others, so feel free to play around and upload at will. If you run in to problems, please contact us.

Once uploaded, your custom header will take the place of the title, so for something like the Site Blog, the words "Site Blog" will not display. If you're quite happy with the current look of your blog, then just leave it as is.

As time goes on, we will be creating more elements such as these to give people greater control over the smaller elements of their blogs, leading up to folks who are code savvy to create their own theme and upload it to the site for their use.

Pleasant uploads!
