With this post I cruise over the 500,000 point mark here in ActiveRAIN. It's well past time to have a picture header across the top of this AR Blog.
But before I could get all my real geese in a row (across the top of this blog), I first had to get my figurative blogging ducks in a row.
In the last (nearly) three years of RAINING, I have learned a lot. But until today I had never even entertained the possibility of putting a pix across the masthead of this blog.
Then today, I commented on, my friend, Todd Clark's Beaverton, Oregon blog and once again felt header-picture envy. So I emailed Todd who referred me to the freely available Picnic program as an easy way to make one of my personal photos fit the 960 X 130 pixel AR blog-header space. I also used the AR "Search" function to find Joni Staples' tutorial on the use of Picnic.
That enabled me to go from this:
To this:
This goose banner pix is just intended to be temporary.
Now that I know how easy this task is, I'll try to swap in some other pix over time. Maybe I'll be able to catch some actual Ducks in similar row.
This is Duck Country, after all:
Getting geese in a row is one thing. Getting our local Ducks to stay in a line long enough to snap a pix is a lot harder. (You'll see the ball flying just above the 50-yard marker.)
