I was looking for a Halloween background and didn't see one on your site, so I just used the black/white argyle one here and made the texts on my blog orange, purple, and green. Now it looks festive! Check it out at www.utah-hawkinsfamily.blogspot.com Thanks for offering these cute free backgrounds! Keep 'em coming! Also, how do I add a button link to your blog?
Your backgrounds are so cute! Thanks for posting them for free! I'd might be interested in having you design one for me in the future, but right now I love the one I already found! Thanks so much. I've posted a link to your site on my blog.
We are happy to supply these fun backgrounds to you for free. All we ask in return is that you add our link to your blog and let all your friends know where you found your cute background! If you download a background we would love for you to leave us a comment. Thanks!
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;
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.

Thanks for the background. I was able to add it very easily. Thanks!
