How To: Install A * Custom * Background

Hi Girls! Today I am going to give you a tutorial to install a custom background that is full length, or simply a background you would like to tile. You can see an example of a tiled background on my blog right now. Hope this helps you, and if you have any questions, feel free to comment below! Remember: Back up your template before you start by right clicking 'select all' and copy ALL of your template. You can paste this into a word document, or email it to yourself. This helps prevents ANY mix ups!


Right underneath 
/* Use this with templates/template-twocol.html */
a:link {

Replace any code with this code. . .

body { background:url(enter YOUR url of your new background!); margin:0; color:$textcolor; font:x-small Georgia Serif; font-size/* */:/**/small; font-size: /**/small; text-align: center; }

  

UP UNTIL this code: 

color:$linkcolor;

  text-decoration:none;

  }

a:visited {

  color:$visitedlinkcolor;

  text-decoration:none;

  }

a:hover {

Your coding should now look like this: 

/* Use this with templates/template-twocol.html */

body {

  background:url(Your URL);

  margin:0;

  color:$textcolor;

  font:x-small Georgia Serif;

  font-size/* */:/**/small;

  font-size: /**/small;

  text-align: center;

  }

a:link {

  color:$linkcolor;

  text-decoration:none;

  }

a:visited {

  color:$visitedlinkcolor;

  text-decoration:none;

  }

a:hover {

After you do this, you will not be able to use the Template Designer background up loader. This way is to install custom full length backgrounds you have made on Photoshop, Gimp, or any other program. You then can also upload a picture to tile on the background of your blog. 

Help!!
