 I’ve recently made a few minor visual changes to my blog if you’ve noticed. I was inspired by the makepovertyhistory.org’s strap in several blogs out there and I decided to make myself one. The final product as you can see, is on the upper left hand corner of this page.
The only tools you’ll need is Photoshop and some CSS knowledge. Let me show you how it’s done, it’s easy and everyone can do it.
In Photoshop, open a new document and name is “Stamp”, make its width and height both 300 pixels, follow the parameters as follow.

 By reading this compiled resource, I assume that you’ve known how to generate/make web contents - be it a blog on Wordpress or Blogspot, or any websites at all, as long as it has content in HTML or XHTML-type documents. Some might think that learning CSS alone will give them power to create beautiful websites. In fact, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is only a simple mechanism for us to add styles to Web documents. It is merely something applied to beautify your web pages. Without learning how to create the web document (content) first, there’s nothing for you to beautify. Simple as that :)
To start off, any beginners who’re seriously interested in CSS should start with CSS lessons at w3Schools. After all, a good foundation will help you go a long way!
After you’ve mastered the basics, you could now start sketching your layout. Decide which type of layout you wanna develop your blog/website into. 2 columns, 3 columns (as 5xmom likes it best), with or without header and footer, fluid or static, etc. Try these repository of ready-made CSS layouts

| If you have Photoshop knowledge, you can make your own icon image. Start with a 64×64 image and after you’ve finished your creation, resize it down to 16×16 and save it as .ico file. If you do not have the icon file format in Photoshop, you can download it here.
Download Photoshop .ico file format. Right-click on the link and and click “Save Link As…” to download. Place it under your Photoshop > Plug-Ins > File Formats folder.
For those who doesn’t play with graphics, or too lazy to make one, you could generate one using any images you like from this service at Chami.com
Or, you could use some of these ready-made Christmas-themed icons I’ve collected from the Internet.
