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!
body {
background:$bgcolor;

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;

i love this brown and turquoise background. the only problem with it was when i added it to my blog, the brown squiggly things on the edge cut into the words of my blog and make it difficult to read. is there a way to fix that??
I love this i am having the same thing but i love it so much.
gorgeous background just perfect
Using the one with out the squigglies due to the same problem. Thanks though.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for a classy but simple background. Perfect! I had no problems adding it to my blog. Thanks again:)
This is exactly what I needed to spruce up my blog. It's easy to use and I like the way it looks. Thanks!

*/:/**/small; font-size: /**/small;
}
how to get the snow??
it wouldnt work when i edited the template html...darn
I loved this background. It gave my blog a fresh look without being too fussy. Thanks!
I love this theme and tried it on my blog and really want to keep it, but the title text and the body text is too dark and unreadable. I like this one best, but will try another! Thanks for the cute themes!
I like the blue and brown together. I recently bought a quilt with similar colors.
As for the previous commenter . . . the color of text, fonts, size, etc. can be changed very easily. I had to go in on this one and change those to fit the color scheme of this background.
Click on LayoutThen click on the Fonts and Colors tab.
What I'm not seeing is a button to put on my site to direct credit back to this site. Am I just not seeing one?
I love this blog background-adorable. However, I am having the same issue as a couple of other people-the brown squigglies cut into my words-does this have to do with screen size?
