First, I have my own home site where I host my images and hotlink to this blog. There are other options for uploading images to blogger, but I've not tried these so you'll have to try'em out yourselves. I'm using the minima template by designer, Douglas Bowman. My banner image is 649 pixels in width and 149 pixels, height. I'm guessing that different sizes and different templates work essentially the same, just tossing out that information as a possible guide.
I tried copying the code here in this post but for whatever reason, if wasn't working. So, instead... I'm including the image below. It will HOPEFULLY, in the least, guide you to where you can make the changes. You will find the html in your template folder. Oh, and not to confuse you....there should NOT be any birds in your coding... ;)
Good Luck y'all and thanks again for all the incredible comments and emails. **I'm in the middle of a couple assignments right now, so it may a few more days until I can post a new drawing.
EDIT: Please note!! I am in no way an aficionado when it comes to coding html/blogs or anything technical! I just wanted to pass along whatever information I had that might be helpful to others...as I had many requests for it. I'm sorry that I can't upload the actual html for easy cut and paste...the blogger formatting doesn't seem to allow this. Also, it's quite possible this code only works on the template I've used. Ultimately, it's the "header" section in your template that would need tweaking. If and when I learn more tidbits, I'm happy to share! Also, thanks to all of you who added further information in the comments section.

Really lovely drawings, What program do you use to make those? or is it by hand?
Thanks to Paige I also have a banner on my blog. I worked but it took a lot of effort. I could just be dumb though. Maybe if I had used the birds? Thanks again paige.
wow, good tips, will try and see when I have time
I have to admit that I, too, owe my banner to you, Paige. Yes, I snuck a peek at your code while formatting my own weblog. Does that make me a code thief?
Gee-willikers, those birdies are cute. Do you think that green one would be my friend?
Paige,
Found your blog on the blogger dashboard and I must say, it's fantastic. Your art is beautiful and sweet. And interesting combination that can sometimes be too sappy, but you pull it off perfectly. Bravo! Looking forward to checking this blog out again and again. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for posting that. I'm new to blogger and as you said, the Blogger Dashboard doesn't explain such things very well.
And again, I love viewing your artwork. The birds are adorable.
Hey thanks for the info about how to put in your own banner. I love your drawings too. I can't wait to customize my blog.
Thanks for the tip. I can't seem to figure it out for myself though. I'll have to keep trying.
Thanks so much for the tips on adding a banner. I'm tweaking mine right now and will probably add it tomorrow. Your blog is wonderful!
Paige,
Thanks for the banner tips, you are sooooooo Rocking!!!
Dennis
You are a fantastic resource for creative ideas and people! Thanks!
Paige thanks so much for answering my post at Bloggertalk.com. I have been pulling what little hair I have left trying to get that banner up. The only problem is that I lost the description that goes under the title now but I can live with that. :-)
Woops I commented too soon. I figured out how to do it. In case anyone else needs the info you can view the code at the link below (I am unable to post the html code here).
http://www.bloggertalk.com/showthread.php?p=5174#post5174
Good luck
you're blog is very interesting, i have a couple of answers to your questions...
1) you can't post html because its a code so the blog will interpret it..
2) there are some templates that are a little more complicated than the minimal and in order to change the banner is required a little more knowledge of the source code and knowing what the code means.
3) you all can upload images in some free personal web like geocities and then just copying the link, that is the image will be linked in the code to some geocities site
thanks, guys and gals! Happy it's helped some of you!
Canuk: Hmmm, I'd never been to Bloggertalk.com, so someone else must have directed you here. Still, thanks for sharing that site, I'm sure it could be helpful to many of us trying to figure these stubborn coding bits out. I'm glad I was able to help a little. (I forgot to add the info about title description, so it's GREAT you have that up on Bloggertalk!)
Thanks, Marik! You did a far better job explaining that than I ever could!
You can do so much more than that with the css sheet.
If you don't have money to host your own images just use www.photobucket.com and link them to your site.
You can view my almost completely modded blog here.

I would like to swap links with you, I enjoy your art. You can get back to me via email. Or comment on my blog.
Thanks,

Great tip Paige. Wish I was still with Blogger so I could test it. ;-) I love your little note: "there should NOT be any birds in your coding..." lol
Keep up your great work.
wow :) amazing art girly... love it! thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the technical info! Sorta unexpected, but a nice bonus!
I loved your illustrations! They are vibrant, funny and convey exactly the emotions I think you are trying to describe. I wish I could draw like that, but my medium is words.. Oh alas, but my pen is my fortune and words, my forte!
Thank you ...now I just need to resize my banner. but its certantly there.
gosh, I love your blog so much.
I'm actually a big fan of grafic design,and your banner is sooo cool!
I mean,how could you make those pics?it's so lovely.
and I'm beginning to envy you,for sure =]
Love your illustrations. They remind me of illustrations in some of my favourite books when I was a kid.
Nice blog site!!!
^^same as AnaktiBagabag ^^
I'll be checking it out again.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I was struggling with this and could not quite get it right. And I love the birdies on the template drawing. It makes looking at the html template really much more fun than facing only plain text, isn't? :)
Thanks for your great tips! It´s funny to feel so identified with other bloggers struggling for a decent banner. Great illustrations!
I like your style, it's really cool. I love sketching and drawing or any of that. Right now however I'm in love with my camera and photography. check it out if you'd like. www.crazyimpatient.blogspot.com Really really cool work you do.
I feel like I am ripping my hair out here. You make it look so easy Paige. I have my banners in a photo album on:
http://humproductions.tripod.com/art
I have beentrying and trying and I just can't seem to get it to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Hi!
enjoy looking at your illustrations
heres an illustrator to another illustrator;
Keep Up The Good Work!
keep doodles cool!
Lee
Paige, I love your drawings...
Thanks All!!
Me, looks like you got it working on one of your blogs (the one that is using the same template as mine)
Looks good. I'm sorry I can't help you more than what I've provided...my coding skills are VERY limited. Have you tried asking at Bloggertalk.com? Someone might be able to help you there. All best!
My hair is in tact again. Thanks Canuk. I used photobucket.com and I finally got it to work.
Photobucket actually gives you the html that you can just copy and paste right in!
wow, thanks for the instructions. I've been trying to figure out how to add images to permanent parts of my blog-- I'll see what I can do with your info.
You rock!
K.
As everyone says, its a good blog! I just found it on the Dashboard.
Now that Blogger launched "Blogger Images", u can simply upload the banner in a post, and then find out the address to the image. It will be found if u load the blog, go to the post with the banner, right-click the banner and click Properties. After finding out the address, put it in the template, as Paige has instructed u!
Awesome drawings. Thanks for the Blogger help. I've been trying to get my own banner for some time.
You should get a counter for you site too. You already have the banner, so it shouldn't be too much of a struggle for you. If you're interested, email me or something. It's interesting to know just how many people visit your blog..
Regards-
truemike@gmail.com
PS Love the art!
I love the drawings as well, especially the girls in the banner. Too cute!
your site is so cool! i love your drawings. i've recently been exposed and consumed by the food blogging world but now i can check out art too. :)
hi! your blog is cool! and the illustrations are great!
what do you think about a link exchange? let me know.
Hoping you'll answer me.
100tek@katamail.com
WOW...amazing illustrations...love the color, the style. Love it!!
thousand thanks Paige, you made it easier for me to make my banner. i have been busy lately but when i saw your post, that i decided to give it a try. you will find my new banner now.
Well, hello Paige
I read with interrest your blog, in fact, at least the last post about "having your own banner".
The fact is that I don't understand were do I have to write the HTML code to make this possible...
I'm french, live in France (nothing's extraordinary... ;) and I use blogger.com, but anywhere I can modify the HMTL code of my blog-page...
So if I could have some -easy to understand, coz I actually am blond haired- explanations about all of this...
I really do apologize for my spelling...
Thx a lot
Brice
Bryce! Je suis desolee...Je ne comprend pas tout les "html". Pas de tout. Simplement, j'ai ecrive soulement que je sais. (???)Aussi, j'ai oblie tout les grammaire et les mots en francais.
Bon chance con votre banner.
*Zut! don't I have a french grammar book around here somewhere? I'm afraid I butchered that.
hey paige, nice blog! i like your drawings! great talent!
I love your pictures, I like this style very much!
I tried, but it didnt work! But ill have to try again, I cant cut and paste what you did here so i had to enter it by hand... Im def. not a programmer.
http://r2000.blogspot.com
LOL!! I knew there was a reason why I bookmarked this site! THanks man...I always wanted to know how to add that banner. I think another method is to simply post a banner image to a post - just like I did for my profile. THanks again mate.
Hey, if any of you are interested in counters, go to bravenet.com
There are a lot of counter choise and you can get lots of cool stats. You can also change the setting.
All I can say is that it helps to have some knowledge of HTML and CSS when editing these templates. I made my banner in Macromedia Fireworks and then pasted the relevent portions into my Blogger template.
One thing you want to be careful about is to not overwrite any of the Blogger code that allows for posts, comments and updates - otherwise, you'll be wondering why nothing's happening on your blog! If you do happen to accidently do this, it's probably easist if you start fresh with a default template.
Thanks for having such a great site, Paige! You've definitely raised the bar for humble cartoonists like myself.
Ok, first of all, the thing is that it depends on the template you are using. They are not all coded the same, so it's a little difficult to help others. Complicated :S. Every template is a completilly different story :(
Anyway, what I wanted to show you is this web page that helps to place images in your blog. It is free and easy to use: http://imageshack.us/ You upload your images there and use the links it gives you. This way, the images won't be attached to your blog directly and it will load faster.
I hope it will be a helpfull tip!
Best regards, from Argentina!
Nani, la pulga atómica (the atomic flea :P)
Hooo Weee! thanks Kyle, Nani,"me" and others!
Just want to say that I came upon your site by chance (I think through the Blogger noted sites), and I love your art! Your blogsite and website are refreshing.
I'd wondered how people personalize their blogs, so I tried your recommendation. It worked! Plus, the info you gave on the size of the banner helped, too. I'll have to play around w/ it, though.
Keep up the good work!
thanks for the info!
Cool little lesson. Love the birdys. Love your art. Hope to see more soon.
Forget to mention, Im an artist(of sorts) myself so I really apreciate all the aperant work that goes into your art.
I'm in total envy (in a good way) of your design. What good deed would I need to score a custom header :)
Four Words:
This Blog Totally Rocks!!!
Thanks for posting this code for adding a banner. I just started my blog and haven't had a chance to go in and customize it yet, but this got me started. Great artwork also, I'll be back to see more!
First off, just wanted to say that I just dig your artwork! Secondly, wanted to say thanks for the banner code. Worked for me!
Love the illustration. Very helpful!!!
Now if anyone knows how to add and change font styles and sizes...or add links...blogger help is not a help...argh! My email addy is desertdiamond01@gmail.com for any and all help in this matter. Thanks.
Good stuff. You can also wrap your blog with a shell page, and include the blog content. Like mine.
Thanks for the banner help. I managed to put one here- hyyp://fanboyvszombie.blogspot.com
hi! tried this but couldn't figure out how to center my header. =( help!
anway, as i've said in my email your artworks are "so lovely and neatly done. Flawless and beautiful!" thought of posting it here. hehe. congrats!
I was just about to ask you about the banner. Thanks for telling us.
Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to start modifying my Blog starting with the banner. My first two lessons were. Your Banner size is different the one used in Rounders4. Second, if you DL the Banner image for Rounders4, you find out that the image is larger then what is displayed. Going back to the drawing board. I am going to keep a log of the changes I make on my Blog. So perhaps you can check in after a couple days and tell me if you think it is working.
http://lotusseat.blogspot.com/
got my own banner up.
thanks for the tips.
Coolio! The blogbanner thing! For the people with another blog like me. You can also put the html img src= etc. of the picture you want in the space where you normally put in your blog title. At "change settings" and then the basic field. Have Fun!
Hi Pauge,
this is me (again). I've just found out your post so please excuse me for the first comment i've just made.
LOve
Fanny

http://www.tweedlebop.com
Thanks for sharing - isnt that what cyberspace is all about! Now to think of something original - thats always the most difficult part for me. So far I changed my title to bright red and that excited me beyond no end!
My banner is almost how I want it, a little more tweaking, but...
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Worked perfectly! Nice coding! The trick is to find WHERE the code needs to go! Love your doodles!
Hi Paige
Just to thank you for sharing how to put a banner in the title. I managed to get my banner up.
BTW, your banner is beautiful, and your artwork is great. Wish I could draw like that.
Thanks again!
Coucou Paige
I don't speack html and my english is so poor! but I understand you try to share few technicals knowledges about "how to create a sympathique blog"...like yours
thank thank thank...but I must be patient to find a way to change the top of my little one :)
Au revoir.
Your artwork is amazing!
Here is the code you posted (with a few tweaks to make it shorter):
<body>
<div id="header">
<h1 id="blog-title">
<a href="http://YOURBLOGURL">
<img src="http://YOURIMAGEURL.EXT" /></a>
</h1>
I hope it works and that it can help anyone else who needs it.
WOW!
WOW!!
Simply love your blog!!
thanks for the tips for the banner! :)
Hi Paige,
You've got some cool drawings there. Great work!
Thanks for the tips about the banner. I'm in the process of making mine I'll send you feedback on whether tthe code works.
I do some cartooning too but its mostly scenes in the market or in the local train. I'd like to get some advice on rendering and improving my stuff using Photoshop CS.
You are VERY talented! I will keep an eye on your Blogs!
I just wanted to thank you for posting a "how to" on banners. I just changed mine. Thanks!
I adore your characters. Hope you become really famous one day!
Just wanted to say thanks for the tips!
Thanks so much! I have used this on two of my blogs! Thanks again! I really apteactiate it!
Wow this is great.

I use Image Shack to get my banner URL.
U can try it out, i guess easier for u.
Thanks Thanks
Thanks for the help! I couldn't have done it without you!
OMG! I love you for putting this code up. Can I give you a shamelss plug on my blog?
Thank you so much! I have no knowledge of html at all, but you made it a lot easier. Lovely illustrations by the way.
Thanks!
thanks couldn't have got my banner up without your guide
And another thank you, from me. I have spent countless hours trying and with 30 mins i was away. You have made me very happy!Now i am off to make my own gnarly one!!!!!
