Help needed in making some changes

Dear All,

I am an aspiring blogger and doing some experiments as per the instruction provided in the Google forum/help. But no changes are seen. Specifically I tried following changes:

1. I am using Awesome Inc template. Name of my blog is Enchanting Orissa.Wanted to incorporate my picture as banner (behind the title of the blog) as per the instructions given in the link on the template "Learn more about editing template Code". I could not see the picture. Why?

2. I wanted to customise the font style of the header using fonts from Kernest. Generated the CSS code, copied and pasted it at appropriate place. Again no change. Why?

I request experienced people to help me. I will be glad to provide any other details needed to help me. Please note I have ZERO knowledge/experience of HTML and CSS codings.

Thanking you in advance for the help.

Regards,
Santosh K. Patra

1. Make sure yuor picture is on server and url is currect. 2. Make sure you place be exact position.

2. I wanted to customise the font style of the header using fonts from Kernest. Generated the CSS code, copied and pasted it at appropriate place. Again no change. Why?

Make sure browser know the fonts

Dear BloggerUser,

Thanks for your effort to guide me. I am unable to understand what you mean by "Make sure you place be exact position", point 2 of your reply to my 1st question. Anyway what I did I am explaining in steps:

1. Compressed the image to 68K. Requirement was below 250k.
2. Uploaded the image to Flickr. Got the URL. Correct to my knowledge.
3. Copied and pasted following CSS code given to me by Blogger Help by Google.
.body-fauxcolumn-outer {
background: url(http://www.flickr.com/photos/lightncolours_photography/5277142359/ image.png); }
.body-fauxcolumn-outer div {
background: none;
}

4. Note that url is upto the /5277142359/. I added /image.png because that was there in the code given to me.

5. Help says after pasting this I should see the picture in the background of the header. But nothing happened.

6. So, I clicked Apply to Blog button. Template changing flashed. Then clicked View Blog button. But again no change.

Why is this so? Where is the mistake? Please help.

Thanking you.
