Looks fine but not 100% perfect yet....Did some changes to my blog’s template.

I tried using Configure Header feature provided by Blogger to add new background image but the result is not what i wanted. The image wasn’t properly placed over the original position. It was slightly shifted to the right side. (Go to Layout Tab, click on Page Elements and follows by the Edit for Header)

To resolve this problem, I use Edit HTML to modify the HTML code directly. I uploaded my image to Googlepages and copied the image URL and paste it onto the following codes....It work as what you seeing it now. I also changed the header font and side header font to Cambria and text fond to Calibri. (Thanks to the tip from a website).

#header-wrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font: normal normal 100% Cambria;
background: url(paste your image URL here) no-repeat top;
}

I like to share this poet with you. Observe the words and you may catch the deep meaning the poet is trying to illustrate. I hope this may awake the giant lies within you and arouse to the altitude of achievement which you never dream before.

If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win, but you think you can’t.
It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out of the word we find,
Success begins with a person’s will
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man
But soon or late the one who wins
Is the one WHO THINKS HE CAN
