The differences between a fixed header and a fluid header are entirely aesthetic. Most blogs have what’s called a “fixed” header – a header that has a specific width. A fluid header spans the entire width of a browser window, regardless of the users screen dimensions.

Headway allows you to create a fluid header without any need for CSS code. The trick however, is selecting colors to match your header image so that the end result is beautiful.

In this video, I walk you through:

• How to select the fluid header option.
• How to upload a new header image.
• Selecting colors that enhance the a fluid header design (I fast forward through this part because your design choices won’t be like mine).

Customizing your WordPress navigation bar is incredibly easy to do with Headway. This video covers step-by-step how to do the following customizations:

1. Change the order of navigation links
2. Position the menu on the left or right
3. How to create sub-page links
4. Position the menu above or below the header
5. Customize the color, font, size, kern and line-height of navigation links
6. Edit the link targets of each navigation link
