Free Christmas Blog Backgrounds

The Christmas background issue has been solved! They are now ready to use. I hope you enjoy them. Photobucket has changed things on their site and you now have to upload things according to your computer screen size. I have made backgrounds for 19 " screens and 17" screens, thus the two links you will see. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO WHICH SIZE OF LINK YOU ARE COPYING to save yourself any hassle. If you have a different size screen, please leave a comment with the size of your computer screen and the name of the background you would like. Scroll on down to choose your Christmas background. Happy Holidays!

Andrea said...: You're layouts are super cute, I have you linked on my blog.
I had a quick question though, did you upgrade to pro in photobucket to get your layouts to fit the screens bigger than 17 inches? I decided to attempt to make my own backgrounds since my friends always steal the ones I want and I've been using image shack since they have a free 21 inch option but they are annoying and I like photobucket a lot more. I just couldn't figure out how to make my layouts bigger there without upgrading.; December 14, 2008 at 9:33 AM

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;
