I was just about to go to bed when I did just one more refresh and saw my profile page change!
Now there is a new cover image url
option in your profile settings page :
My cover image was pre-set because I've been using cover images on busy and steemlink for a few months already.
If you haven't seen this option yet, do a full reload of the steemit site (F5) and it should load the updated code.
Have you got a creative, unique cover image ?
I'll send 10 SBD each to a bunch of the most creative cover images on steemit .
All you have to do is take a screenshot and pop it in the comments below, and I'll pick winners within a few days.
Update
I checked out all the entries, gave every entry a 1% vote and have sent off prizes to my favourite ones.
Congrats to @artist1989 @yusaymon @enazwahsdarb @creativesoul and @grow-pro !

The sizing was difficult...a lot of people that I have seen used 1920 x 700 - but I found this too pixelated and 'zoomed in'. The larger the image the more that it can center and spreads out better visually. 2500 x 1200 achieved the look that I was going for on desktop. <3

have you seen it?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

On mobile phone...portrait...it shows up black in the middle and first two rows of pink...and the whole banner in landscape...just the black space is smaller and words run over into the rainbow. I can live with that. I tried putting my blog feed into a few of those online responsive design testers but it just shows up blank. Probably a good reason for that. I can check your layout on mobile if you want though. <3

Scrinching the screen up does not produce exactly the same result. Even if the website does not have a mobile version the coding usually compacts the content differently. The tree contest deadline is still near the top of my blog - and it ends this sunday.

Hey thanks @ausbitbank for the chance to show off my cover image, which is a year long project, me thinks.
But that's to be decided in secret, so don't tell anyone, ok?
thanks again.
This is like my sixteenth cover image since yesterday, lol.
It took a long time to find an image that had the right combinations of readability and impact, and in the end I have gone dark.
I don't use other devices so I had to fake it.
and the narrowest I can make it, over there on the right.

Hi Ausbitbank! Here's mine! As you can see, I'm obsessed with Alpacas! It's my dream to have an alpaca farm so having that cover is an amazing way to keep my dream in front of me all the time. I put a brown rectangle and adjusted opacity so the words wouldn't be washed out with the background but the alpacas could still be seen.
