Creating A Logo
Creating a logo as someone who is not a graphic designer is easier than you might think!
1. Go to Canva.com sign up / login.
2. Choose a size I normally type in the search “email header” and use that as my starting design.
Look through your options
Find a photo/color scheme/ font that you like to build on.
The image I decided to use is the one that says " Our Newsletter"
3.Once I get the image I want then I type my website’s name in the box and change the background color to match my themes color.
4.Then I go over and click download and download the image as a high-quality PNG.
5. Go to your new website wwww.yourwebsite.com/admin and login to your WordPress.org
6.Once you login go to your website and click “appearance” > then “customize”
7. Find the part where you can edit your site’s header (In some themes they call it your logo). To find it click through the settings options you see on the left.
8.When you find the place to add a header or logo Click “Add new image”
9.Upload image.
10. Skip cropping if you can if not crop it to fit your theme.
There you have it a new logo/header for your blog!
