Header Picture Code

Unscrambling Blogger photo code for Header picture code

Blogger's picture icon is good for regular pictures in the post or in the sidebar, but it's overdone for the purpose of putting a photo in your header. You don't need both large and small versions for the header.

What Blogger may give you when you upload the photo to a post (Save it, but don't Publish it!) will resemble this:

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpW1aB-k5624zmLHtevnTSHu92pNnWHqXUKjExe1a8I07pY2lG-8k2gfSJjZjDYBqsveMXGO6S2_JObmNffTGAb1a3tjqAvOWfUv-dYq1yXjZi2P5zbRMOFP5fQuAqJon51K8q5kzJCjQ/s1600-h/dgblues.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025971925707284738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpW1aB-k5624zmLHtevnTSHu92pNnWHqXUKjExe1a8I07pY2lG-8k2gfSJjZjDYBqsveMXGO6S2_JObmNffTGAb1a3tjqAvOWfUv-dYq1yXjZi2P5zbRMOFP5fQuAqJon51K8q5kzJCjQ/s400/dgblues.jpg" border="0" /></a>

What you would need to extract is this:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpW1aB-k5624zmLHtevnTSHu92pNnWHqXUKjExe1a8I07pY2lG-8k2gfSJjZjDYBqsveMXGO6S2_JObmNffTGAb1a3tjqAvOWfUv-dYq1yXjZi2P5zbRMOFP5fQuAqJon51K8q5kzJCjQ/s1600/dgblues.jpg

If you didn't notice on your own, the difference between the red code at the top and the red code above this paragraph is that the -h has been deleted after S1600.



SMALL IMAGE: The url contained in the blue text (marked S400) is the smaller of the images and will need no correction--just the code, such as this, shown above:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpW1aB-k5624zmLHtevnTSHu92pNnWHqXUKjExe1a8I07pY2lG-8k2gfSJjZjDYBqsveMXGO6S2_JObmNffTGAb1a3tjqAvOWfUv-dYq1yXjZi2P5zbRMOFP5fQuAqJon51K8q5kzJCjQ/s400/dgblues.jpg

Assuming that the S400 is actually small and not just less than the large one, you could enter that code, as shown, into the Photo Url as your Profile Photo.

[Below is a screenshot of the top part of this post in the Post Editor. It shows the Blogger picture icon, the tiny rectangle that's blue in the top half, and primarily green in the bottom half.]

New images always load into a post at the top. If you view the image in Compose mode, you can Drag and Drop it to other locations; if you are viewing it in Edit Html mode, use Cut and Paste to relocate it.
