How I Made An Image Banner From An Oversized Photo

1. Original photo size 800 x 537

2. Desired banner size 760 x 200

3. Resize phot0 to 760 x (510) (constrain proportions) — A

4. Resize photo to (298) x 200 (constrain proportions) —- B

5. Resize photo A to 760 x 200 (do not preserve aspect ratio) — A2
6. Copy and Paste photo B on photo A2 —- A3

7. Use smudge tool (healing tool) in Photoshop to blur the joint. —– A4, final product, 760×200.

8. See free2blog.com/trekker/ for the image header which replaced Kubrick’s default blue banner.

Goto “Modify Name Record”, key in Registration number or domain name.

Next, select Technical Contact (others include Admin and Billing Contacts)

To change the nameservers, first choose Option 2 (allows changes to Nameservers).

Next “Create” new unique nameserver MyNIC name handle(s) and then insert the new names in the appropriate box(es) and click “Modify”.
