How to make your own sidebar tags/titles?

Well you surfed the net and the pre-designed tags are not how you want them to be , or not enough , or just not right , or they dont match your blog...
You want to make your own unique blog sidebar tags...

Start by thinking "How" you want them to be... in frame? frameless? with background? no/transparent background? what color do you want it to be?

Then go to fotoflexer and design it ..

Upload a photo , any photo! If you dont have a specific photo that you want to use for all of your tags.

Resize it!
For my blog I used 190x110 It fits my side bar , but you dont have to worry if its a little big , or small , blogger provides a "Shrink to fit" check box anyway.

If you uploaded any photo , you can erase it . Then you'll get a transparent plane where you can do anything with it!

Go to the "Decorate" tab > "Erase" button > Start erasing!


Then click Done! 

After you've erased your parts , or text ( If colored background you can color it using the "draw" button in the design tab , if you didnt find your color , you can search for your color digits online and insert it in the test box provided in the color area)

INSERT TEXT! 
On the same "decorate" tab , there is "text" , Insert your desired title for your gadget on your blog and decorate it ..

SAVE IT!
In "Format" make sure to choose the PNG format if you have a transparent image! 
Once you saved your tag click "Back to editor" button found on the top right of the page. 

Because you have more than one gadget , you want to make them as one set looking all the same , right? 
Just change the text and save it like you did to the first , then "Back to Editor" ... etc. Do that till you finish all your titles! 

How to upload the image to your blog , you can follow up the tutorial here.
