As I developed my personal website I used an online template as a starter for the design. It included a good amount of unique Java functions and I liked the overall layout. As I went along, inserting my own material and adding links, I found that I could not change a certain link bar that was included at the top of the page. I wanted to use the bar but obviously with my own links. I tried numerous methods of trying to change it but as soon as I refreshed the page, it went back to its former status.

I decided to use Adobe Photoshop to edit a picture with layers since I have never used layers before in Photoshop. This new layer is to be blended with the existing picture. I figure out how to do it by just playing around with the controls. It took awhile, but I eventually got it to do what I wanted.
