NEWSFLASH! Cover Images are Now a Thing! Set up your own now!
You can now set your cover images for your blog. This is an amazing update for Steemit.com. As you've noticed most social media sites let's you set up cover images. So now, our dear Steemit.com is jumping into this design bandwagon.
For information purposes, I used the MedBlock Logo I created as my header image.
You simply go to your settings:

Add the image URL to the "COVER IMAGE URL". Then it will appear like this.

I'm trying to get more information about the recommended sizes for the Cover Image.
I'm gonna make a one for my own, the MedBlock one is temporary only.
Using this one now:

Yay! Hmmmm... gotta try it out too! 😉
Thanks for this @deveerei
You're welcome! It's hard to pick the right image to use though. Plus the images gets kind of pixelated. I may have to go for a simple one.
Nice post, this is very helpful.
Galing mo talaga master
I like the gif Sir!
Thank you Sir, bagay yan sa isang master na kagaya mo.
Cheers!
Master lang ako ng katamaran lol. :D Thanks sir @rye05.
i upvoted your post plz upvote me back !!
Hi there - I appreciate the upvote - stop doing this though - this is considered as spam, your reputation is already going down. By the way - we can't really do an upvote trade - my votes are at least 12x worth more than yours.
MAJOR update! Thx-gdNess!

Just hard to pick one - and there's still issues using it. Like photo quality - it gets messed up. Thanks!
thank you!!!!
You're welcome. I've update my avatar too. Lol
Hipster kunwari. Lol
ang pogiiiii!!! uwian na ginalingan!!!!
Haha lol di nga kita. Wala akong files dito - I googled my name and looked for a photo I can use.
great news....I love adding a bit of a personal touch to my blog...but honestly im so beat down tired i think i will leave this for tomorrow :)
It is - really hard to pick one - I ended up googling a random image haha. I even lost my avatar in the process cause I added the url in the wrong box. I used a new avatar too - it's my own self now.
yeah...it can be very time consuming (for me)....takes me hours before i decide on what i want to use...then i find something...then im not pleased...then i start making my own....etc etc....so yes....ill wait till tomorrow lol
It's a vicious cycle. Also. You have to consider how it looks in desktop and mobile.
