If your screen is a size other than 17" or 19" and you would like to use one of my backgrounds, please leave a comment with what size you need and I will try to resize for you. I will leave a comment on your blog once I have had the opportunity to resize it.
If your profile or your blog is private, please leave a way that I can notify you. I have tried replying back to a few of you who have private profiles and I am unable to find the name of your blog. If this is the case, please leave your blog address in your comment. Replying back to blogs is the quickest, easiest way for me to get back with you.
Thanks!

Price of Backgrounds

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 have to say, I was TERRIFIED to change the HTML because when you use Pyzam and others, you lose everything. Anyhoo, this went off like without a hitch and I can't thank you enough for making this site!!! Super duper cute backgrounds and I'm glad to have a new place to go!!! Awesome!
My screen size is 15.6" so it would be awesome if you could resize the 3rd one from the top! (The red one)
Thanks so much!
I've used one of your great backgrounds for my new blog... thanks so much!
Hello, I love all of you screens, I am having a hard time getting to work i keep getting this message
Invalid variable declaration in page skin: Variable is used but not defined. Input: bgcolor
Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for you help and wonderful work.
Staci,
I love your blog backgrounds, but I tried SO hard last night to download one to my blog and each time it failed miserably! I read the directions to the right and was pretty certain I followed it carefully, but none of the backgrounds appeared. I tried both sizes and still no *cute* background. I am wondering if you could help me and make sure that I followed the directions precisely. I also believe my screen is around 15 inches. It is a Dell laptop (inspiron 600m). I really like the brightly colored "let it snow" background. Thanks so much. You have a really cute blog
I love the mod pink flowers one..I think that I have a smaller screen..more like 15". I tried copy and paste but I still couldn't get it to work..Can you please help me?? Thanks
The first background pink mod flowers and dots, that is..Thanks! Can't wait to see it finished!
hi! i need your help i just keep trying to download some of you backgrounds and it will just not work! it will not let me copy the link under the background and i read the directions! and it just will not work i dont know if it is my screen?? is it? please help! the screen is i think...
Hey LooooVe Your backgrounds. I tried to change mine and it didn't work I don't know why. How do I figure this out? Where should I start to trouble shoot? Are there any common mistakes you have run into? Let me know Katie
Ok so I figured out why. It works now but I was wondering about 3 column blogs. I have one and so the middle section isn't wide enough. I also dont know what I did but the 17' and 19' don't fill my 17' screen. Is there anything I can do?
i love your backrounds. hope you have some st. patrick's day ones!
I love your backgrounds. They are so, so cute! I am using the top one...check it out. My screen is a 19" and the background isn't filling in the whole screen. I know I pasted the 19" screen because I tried the 17" one and it definately did not work. All I had to do was put a dark gray background page in and it filled my gaps, but I really do like the look of it completely filled better. Let me know what you think...
I would like aqua with red dots background resized to fit a 20 inch screen if possible. Thank you so much for the very cute designs that you offer! This is such a wonderful site. The instructions for use were so easy to follow. Keep up the excellent work!
Hello! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous backgrounds!!!! I too was so afraid to change from Pyzam but your instructions were so easy to understand. I would love to share your link on my site but don't know how. I will check again but if you could tell me I'd be glad to do it.
Hello!! I just wan't to say THANK YOU!! These backgrounds are AMAZING!! The problem was wich one i should choose =) Many thanks and greetings from Portugal!!
Thank you for your backgrounds! They are great and worked very well with my blog! I will be back and will put a little link on the side of my blog.
I love your designs--definitely the cutest ones I've found online. I've been having a hard time getting it to work though. Our screen is only 13" and I really like the pink zebra pattern. Thanks so much for your help!
Doesn't it depend on the monitor size the *user* has and not mine?
Hello there! I was wondering if you could give me a re-sized blog background of the "Lovebird" one. My screen is 20," by the way. You make awesome backgrounds!! :) My email is xoxjen918@yahoo.com if you cannot reach me.
I've used one of your great backgrounds for my new blog... thanks so much!
