After I post “Does your blog make lemonade? Make your blog interesting with header images“, I have been using post header images on almost every posts on this blog. I believe that an interesting blog header image will give the post some nice vivid touch. It also gives the reader a better idea about the post. All of the images I used in my posts are either licensed by flickr.com or taken by me. I include all those third party photos under my favorites page.
In many cases, I modify the images and make them look even more interesting. I love photoshop, the best photo editing tool available in the digital world. I used a lot of tricks to enhance the photos, including retouching, burning, erasing unwanted spot, rearranging the objects in the photo, adjusting the contrast, adjusting brightness, setting auto color, setting auto level and many other modifications.
I will start a series of photo collections every month to list the images that I used in my blog post. This will give my reader a greater idea what my photography taste is. So enjoy the photos and remember to read my posts!

Do you use header image in your post? Leave your post URL and I will visit your post.
You make great selections!
Another thing that could be done is to have the header image randomly change, like Jon‘s blog did. Each time you visit the site, or view different pages, the header image will change. Not sure if it’s a rotation or just a random selection, but it is an interesting idea and keeps the site looking fresh.
@DCR:
Yeah. Dynamic blog header image. I am a little hesitate to use blog header image. I guess that will be too many photos on my blogs to load. On the SEO side, my blog title is very important to get a great SERP. Unless you are using background image as your header image, you lost the great way to get your page on top of SERP.
My current blog title is in H1 tag, which according to Google webmaster guide line is very important.
At mean time, I am hoping some to redesign my blog.
Beautiful pictures! Thanks for the collection.
@Recliners:
Thank you again. There are more to come in the future for sure!
Nice collection of header pics you have got there and quite a useful post, pictures do express so much!
@Mirjam:
Thank you! It did take me a while to search all those pictures.
Number four and the last one, period.
@Stacey:
You have great taste. You pick the photos I took.
Hi Terence,
I’m a bit behind in my reading, but I have to comment on this. You know I love your header images and seeing them all together here is great! You have a real artistic streak…
@Stephen:
Not to worry. I know you were busy on your new WordPress plugin. Thank you for the kind words.
Just stumbled upon this site. I must say the headers looks great. The title coincides with the story in the pictures. APplauds “a kiss from the distance”.
