How to Change Your Background
Our backgrounds work best if you use Blogger's 'minima' template. First you must sign into to your blog and click on 'customize' at the top of the page. Once you have done that you then need to click on the 'edit html' tab. Scroll down in your html to where you see this:
body {
background:$bgcolor;
margin:0; color:$textcolor; font:x-
small Georgia Serif; font-size/*
*/:/**/small; font-size: /**/small;
text-align: center;
Change that part of the code to say this:
body {
background:$bgcolor;background-image:url(direct link);background-position: center; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed;
margin:0; color:$textcolor; font:x-small Georgia Serif; font-size/*
*/:/**/small; font-size: /**/small;
text-align: center;
Now all you need to do is choose the background that suits you and copy the link underneath it and then paste it in your html between the parenthesis where it says direct link. Preview your changes and then once you have checked that everything looks right be sure to save your template. Voila!

An Extra Help...
Depending on your computer screen our backgrounds may not stretch the entire width of your blog. You can find color codes for several colors to customize your side wrapper color at this website: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/colors/article.php/3478921. Simply choose the color you want, copy the code below it and then paste it into your html to replace the existing code. Below is what it should look like. You will be pasting your new code where you see the yellow code bellow.
body {
background:#DEB887;background-image:url( http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll175/simplychicblogs/pinkflowers.jpg);background-position: center; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed;
body {
background:#DEB887;background-image:url( http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll175/simplychicblogs/pinkflowers.jpg);background-position: center; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed;
;background-position){kind=link}

hi there..will use this for my blog, thanks a bunch
This is so nice. Simplistic and happy. Thank you so much.
Baby blogger I am. I'm trying on a very pretty background on my site but wish that the middle was white because it's dimming my pictures. Is there any way to help this? Also, I wish that I could shrink the margins on the side.
I would so appreciate the help. If I can do this then I'll keep it and gladly give you credit.
Thanks! katy
Actually, on reflection, it's gorgeous. I just wish that the middle blue was a little lighter. Can this be helped? Is there some magic HTML that would be easy for that or am I a demanding silly lady?
I'm really sorry if I am being ridiculous. I've spent quite a while looking for a nice background and I really like this one. kudos to you.
Thanks, katy
