Posting an image for blog title

[McLeod_30]

Well i'm sure some will say go ask blogger but there not talking much. I have a art blog of my work and made a image for my title. I created the file in photoshop and saved it as several file formats, from pngs to jpegs. the image is 720x288. In photoshop the image is clear but when I loaded it up in blogger the image becomes pixulated. Is there anyone out there that might have the answer to why this happens. I know some html code but so far the answers I find for resizing the image have not helped.

720 by 288 sounds pretty big doesn't it???
On this forum when things are posted that are too large they are automatically resized and must be clicked on to view in another window. Perhaps blogger is automatically resizing the banner to fit. Invariably the image is tainted due to the compression

Thanks for the comment, with Blogger it's like having your own website but with out paying for server space. That said sometimes there are snages in the system. If you go to my blog the banner is at the head of my site. I've seen other artists blogs where the banner has been my size or bigger with out res problems. Since I posted the question. I have been playing around with it some more and I think the problem is that when I made my scans of the art work into photoshop I used a 72 resolution. since this is for the web and high res images take longer to upload. Maybe I need to make it a high res scan furst in photoshop then scale down after I'v e completed the image from photoshop to png or jpeg. Your thoughts on this would be helpfull.

Are you loading the image into the blog by fiddling around with the html, or are you using the Blogger template and uploading it through that?

If you're fiddling with the html, it's probably that...

I first just upload it as a post in blogger and copy past the img source into the template. This made the banner really small for some reason then I tryed fiddling with the html and was able to get it to the right size but it's pixelated.

You don't need to do anything that complicated.
The Blogger template will let you upload an image directly into the header with the usual browse for image and upload thingy...

Thanks elliot yove been very helpfull. I was using the old blogger format so when yo mention in templates I found the tap that allowed me to change my blog to the new format and uploaded my image. I checked out your blog and dig it alot. would you mind if I added you under my fav artist links?

That would concern me greatly.
I'm not sure I could cope with this.


(yes, of course).
