Applying a Blog Background

Once you log into your blog you will need to choose a standard template.



Go to ‚customize, then ‚layout‚ then ‚pick a new template‚ then choose a minima template.



Then click on ‚edit HTML, scroll 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: (Remove the above code and paste the code shown below.)

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, use the direct link attatched to the background and insert it between the parentheses.

Then Click PREVIEW. If your site looks good, then click save and you're finished. :)
