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}

I am IN LOVE with this background! You make so many cute ones, it's impossible to choose! Thank-you for sharing your talents! :)
Thanks for your response, Staci. But it's still not working? I've placed your layout on my blog and will leave it up so you can see my problem...
Thanks so much! Your layouts are cute!
I love your backgrounds, thanks for making them available.
AWESOME layout and I actually got it to work thanks to your great instructions!
trying to spruce up my blog, and loved this one. Although, I couldn't read on the red. I tried my second and third choice, but they changed the layout of the blog. Sorry, not very computer savy. email me.. at: sanguilm@verizon.net
I love this one. Would you be able to do it with a turquoise center?
I think I am finally at peace. My colleague complains that I don't listen to a word she says when I play around with my blog!
I love the backround and I found it so easy to apply to my blog.
I have added two of your backrounds to:

As a very new blogger, after 3 hours of attempting to create a backround for my blog(with no success)....I stumbled across your website. Not only were your backrounds adorable, your instructions were great and even a novice was able to successfully install a backround. Thank you for sharing!
