  • Paperclip Custom Images

    As I wrote in my first British Inside post, I managed to get the original photoshop file from Creative that the paperclip blog skin was made from. I wanted to do this so that I could replace the title image with my own, but keep the post-it note over the image, complete with shadow.

    Tonight I finally took 10 minutes to finish it off and delete the unnecessary layers, leaving just the ones needed to create your own replacement title image.

    You can download it from Community Server Downloads.

    Simply paste your correctly sized image onto the Summer layer which is already under the many layers that make up the post-it note and shadows. Then just save it as a jpeg (remember to optimize it, I use 30% compression in PSP) and replace the xxx-title.jpg in your Themes\Blogs\Paperclip\Images folder - where xxx is the theme you chose to replace: cactus, fall, summer or winter.
