To do so in New Blogger template, we need to add a new page element widget at the blog header part. However, the New Blogger templates, both standard and modified templates available in the web, generally do not provide an “Add a Page Element” widget to add a page element at the blog's header part.
To add a new page element at the blog’s header part, we need to make some changes to the template codes. No clue how to do it? Don’t worry. It’s quite simple actually.
Here are the steps to add an “Add a Page Element” widget at Blog Header:
1) Log in to Blogger. In the Dashboard, click “Layout” and it will bring you to “Template” tab. Then click “Edit HTML”. This will open the template editor window.
2) Please remember that every time before you make any changes to the template, save a copy of your original codes first. In case there is something wrong, you can get back your original template again.
(Read this post in case you are not sure how to back up your template: How To Backup Your Blogger Template Codes).
3) Find the following codes in the template editor:
(You can simply click Ctrl+F for find the keyword
4) Look particularly for the following:
a) maxwidgets='1'. Change it to: maxwidgets='3'.
You can change the number depending on how many widgets (maximum) you’d like to add at the header.
b) showaddelement='no'. Change it to: showaddelement='yes'.
After you change this, save the template by clicking “Save” button.
5) After that, click "Page Elements". Now you can notice that an additional "Add a Page Element" has been added at the Header".
Yes, it’s done. Now you can add a page element at the header part.
For example:
To place Adsense just below the blog header (e.g. to place an Adsense’s Link Unit under the header), firstly generate the Adsense codes (for Ads Unit, Link Unit or Google Search Bar) from your Adsense account.
Then click the "Add a Page Element” button at the top of the “Header”.
When a new window pops up, select “HTML/Javascript”, and then click "Add to blog".
Paste the Adsense codes into the box, and click "Save changes".
Then we can place the adsense under the header simply by dragging the new page element below the blog header.

How To Add A Backgound Image / Picture To Your Blogger’s Header
Here are the steps of a simpler way to add an image to the Header:
1) Log in to Blogger. In the Dashboard, click “Layout” and it will bring you to “Template” >> “Page Element” tab.
2) Look at the Header’s Page Element at the top of the Layout which contains the title of your blog. Click “Edit” and you will get the following pop-up:
3) If the image for your header is saved in your computer, tick the option “From your computer” and click “Browse”. Then locate the folder where your image is saved.
If the image is hosted on the web, tick the option “From the web” and type the URL of the hosted image.
4) Click “Save Changes”. Then click “View Blog” to view the result.
NOTE:
a) If you don’t like what you see and want to remove the image, then click “Edit” again on the Header’s Page Element. In the pop-up window, click “Remove Image”, and then click “Save Changes”.
b) After doing the above steps, by default, the header image will be shown as the background of your blog title and description. In case you have a header image that already contains your blog title and description, you can also place the header image to cover the default blog title & description.
Here is how to do it:
Click “Edit” on the Header’s Page Element. In the pop-up window, you can see that the option “Behind title and description” under “Placement” has been ticked by default. Now tick “Instead of title and description” option instead. Then click “Save Changes”.
c) To get the best result for an image to be the header’s background, you should use the image that has the same width as the header of your blog. If you’re not sure what’s the width of your header, please refer to this post to find out: How To Find The Width Of The Header, Main Column And Sidebar Of The Blogger Templates

How To Find The Width Of The Header, Main Column And Sidebar Of The Blogger Templates
For example, when we are selecting the format for the adsense code. Suppose I’d like to place Banner format (468 x 60) on top of the main column. That means the width of the main column must at least have 468px width.
Here is how you can find out the width of the header, main column or sidebar of your blog:
1) Find the following codes in the template editor:
(A faster way to do it is by using text search: Click Ctrl+F then type the keyword to be found: #header-wrapper, #main-wrapper, sidebar-wrapper).
#header-wrapper {
width:660px;
margin:0 auto 10px;
border:1px solid $bordercolor;
}
#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
float: left;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}
#sidebar-wrapper {
width: 220px;
float: right;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}
2) Based on the above, the width of the header, the main column, the sidebar are 660px, 410px, and 220px, respectively.
So, in this case, if you want to place an adsense in Banner format (468 x 60) on top of the main column, it’s not enough. You need to expand the width of the main column to (at least) 470px.
In the next post, I’ll show you how. Stay tuned! :)
NOTE:
Some Blogger templates may have different “names” for the sidebar. The above example is the codes from standard (2-column) Minima template. In this template, the sidebar is shown as: “#sidebar-wrapper”.
Other templates which have 3 columns (with 2 sidebars) may use other “names” such as:
a) “#right-sidebar-wrapper” and “#left-sidebar-wrapper”
b) “.sidebar-wrapper”
c) “#sidebar-wrapper” and “#new-sidebar-wrapper”
Therefore, for sidebar, when you’re searching the codes using Ctrl+F, just use “sidebar-wrapper” as the text to be found.
