I just haven't been happier with an earlier, rush animation of a "spooky" Halloween tree hung with skulls, ghosts, and pumpkins. So here is a redo, subject to further tweaking after I see how it behaves in this browser.
When I attempt to "optimize" animations for those still using dial-up, sometimes the end result is not very pleasant-looking.
The one below must be left-clicked in order to open to the larger image.
Right-click and save any of the images below onto your own computer. Placing them on your desktop is an easy way to find them again.
In Blogger, simply click on "Layout" and add a Page Element to the side column -- a picture -- and "Browse" on your computer to find the image to use. With these graphics, you don't even need to check the "Shrink to Fit" box because they are already sized right. But if you use a DIFFERENT graphic from elsewhere, you may need to click that "Shrink to Fit" box (try to choose rectangular graphics so it fits well when it is reduced)...and...no worries. Drag the Page Element to either the FIRST (or SECOND if you feel you must add a Text Page Element above it) place in your column if it isn't there already. For blogs without a custom header, I'd definitely add it in FIRST place, right at the top of the column. On ours, with the big custom header there already, we put it in second place, or it would look like it was crowding the header.
Now you can give a custom touch to your Blogger blogs, or any blog, for that matter.
One of these images has a transparent background, allowing your blog's background to show through and make it instantly "match" your layout. You can't get easier than that!
Hope you enjoy!
