OK, here's the deal. I want to make my own Blogger backgrounds, you know the kind with 2 columns for Minima, and preferably with white in the center section, but with wallpaper on the two sides. I'm not into the scrapbook sort of embellishments, but just plain. Just tired of fishing at other folks' site, hoping they have a background I like, but finding that most of them are too busy-looking, you know? And I get sorta tired of using other backgrounds and having to accept the little advertisements they put in the upper left-hand corner. I want to give them credit, but not so visibly....hence wanting to make my own!
My problem is that I'll be using GIMP to do it, and can't find an easy-to-understand tutorial to do it with. My husband says I ought to download GIMPshop, but am hesitant after trying to download the 30-day free trial of the official PhotoShop yesterday and getting bogged down with nonsense. Deleted that incomplete download after pulling my hair out.
I have a copy of PaintShopPro in the house, somewhere, but until it shows up will have to stick with the GIMP.
Can anyone help? I've Googled to find a tutorial, and they're either thinking I know what they're talking about, or are using a program I don't have.
Whine.
