add a logo

You can add your own logo to any of the Office Live headers.  Upload your logo image to the Image Gallery.  In Site Designer click on Logo and select your image.  You can choose to have it above or next to the title and what size to display it.  The different header styles place the logo in different areas of the header, a little experimenting is needed to find one that pleases you.

You can change the logo at any time by simply selecting a new image.  To remove your logo from the header, click on logo and click on 'No Image' at the bottom.

Adding a Custom Theme Image allows you to replace the image in the Office Live themes with your own.  I've done that on this page using a picture of Zip, my border collie.

tip

You can check what size the image used in the themes are by viewing the page and right clicking on the image and selecting properties.  The first number is the width.

cover/replace the office live header

Covering up the Office Live header gives you any design and color you desire.  First, you will need to create an image the size of the header and you will need to include the text of your site title and slogan in the image.  Upload your header imaqe to the image gallery in the usual way. 

Next, follow these steps:

Your new header should be displayed and cover the OL one.

remove the office live header

All of this site (except this page) was done by removing the Office Live header, footer and navigation menu.  This can be done in page properties on a page by page basis.  In Page Editor click on Page Properties and uncheck the box for the elements you want to remove.  Any element you remove can be replaced at any time by rechecking the box.

Removing all the elements gives you a blank website.  Use zones, tables, images and your imagination and you can create a website that looks any way you wish. Once you have your design the way you like it, save that page as a template and you will be able to use your new design to create your pages.  The example designs were all done this way.

With all the different options for customizing the Office Live Header there are countless web design possibilities.  A little imagination and you can do almost anything.
