Creating a custom logo or banner in Gimp is not that hard. If you are unfamiliar with Gimp, it can be scary, but this is a very useful and FREE tool that I use all the time to edit images. It's definitely worth investing some time in.
This skill is particularly useful if you want to make unique banners and logos. For example, everyone promoting WA has the same banners on their site. Get something a bit different, and customize it to match the theme of your site!

This training should take you through the whole process (simply), but there are many more options. Check out YouTube for lots of free gimp tutorials.

Thanks Nathaniell great training. I have been using gimp more and more recently having installed it on my laptop. These tips will help me give a better feel for it.
Another option for putting the image in the side bar is using the image widget within Jetpack. I know some find it slows the site but I haven't noticed much lag. All the options are there center, add link, change size, add caption etc. Handy too.

Ok so my website is set up and I know I need to add content to it. But it is not letting me log in to it.
