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. . .


  
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.

I have a friend, and his name is Red!

I have decided to change my NaNo story to something else, because I don't think it would be nearly as fun as starting a brand-new novel. :) It's going to be called 'Flower Power', and I have written only about a page of my 'story', so now the page is like a plot. It won't start the same way I wrote it originally. :)

Yesterday, we had a very, let's just say, colorful dance picnic. We have one every year. This year's theme was 'COLOR BATTLE!' Oh yes! Our team went all out! We had black and red tutus, red hair with messy buns, red stars on our cheeks because out team is called 'Starfire', and red shirts! Our 'buddies', called Xtreme, was also red, so we made up a cheer to go along with out theme, hence the title. Our buddies are the age of 17-18, so they are super nice! We screamed 'RED!!!!!!!' whenever we had a chance. We played  some really fun games, and the food was really good! We had tacos, or 'walking tacos' because the bees were trying to nest in our hair, so every few seconds we would jump out of our seats because of our hair! :)

I had a very colorful weekend with my crazy friends. :)

I made another button! Feel free to take it if you agree! ;) It's under {share the love} on the side bar.

{???}

I currently hate my blog design! I know, I know, I just put it on, but I can't stand it!!! I hope to just have two colors, white and grey. I am planning it in my head this second! :) {Priya- I will get your blog design first, though. I won't be able to install the background on your blog, because I can't find the code for you to put in your HTML code.} The design should be up by Monday.

Also, I put up a fun poll for you all to vote on. Anyone can vote! :)



Question for you all. . .Is there anything I can do to improve my blogging? I would much benefit from them, especially from the negative comments. Thank you!

New Design

Hello! :)
I finally re-did my blog design! I want to give a very special thanks to Brittany! She will also be doing Carolyn's and my Get The Pointe? Blog! Check out all of her blogs. . . {{main blog}} http://brittanyamelia.blogspot.com/
{{blog design service}} http://silverliningblogdesign.blogspot.com/ ;)

Instead of pages, I now have a navabar! It is the one with the circles with titles, such as "FAQ". Click on those and they each lead to the page! I also have to update a quite a few pages/gadgets, so bear with me! :) The cbox will need to be changed, because of the colors. Please do not grab my button yet, I will not be using that one! It will be removed, though! Thanks!  If you happen to run into some things I have not changed yet, please let me know in the comments, it would be much appreciated! There might be two more things added, but that will be kept a surprise! ;)

I had a dream. . .

  Not that type of dream! ;) I had a dream that someone hacked my blog, and erased all of my posts and wrote new ones! They also took off my background and moved a bunch of things on the sidebar. It was one of those dreams that are so real that you almost cry if the dream is about something bad. I was *probably* in about tears when I found out my whole blog was messed up horribly.

Call me a nerd, but wouldn't YOU cry, or even just a little bit, if your blog was messed up and all of your memorable posts were gone, and maybe even all your followers you worked hard for? Are you misty-eyed now just thinking about it? Huh? Huh? ;)

I hope to have another "Say What??" contest, because only two people entered, but that's okay because I know people are/were super busy with getting ready for school. I bet you girls didn't notice that Rebecca was actually holding a balloon! You could only see the string though. And the winner of the FULL blog makeover, is, Pryia! Congrats!!! Please email me at my Chunkey Monkey email so we can work out the details. Thanks!

I GOT MY FRONT HANDSPRING TODAY! I had it on the long tumble tramp at gymnastics, but since most people don't own a long trampoline, my bestie, Meerah, is amazing at teaching herself moves, such as a front brandi. {Don't ask what it is, I don't either!} She also is in the circus! I NEED to go to the circus, because that's where I belong! ;) Even my teacher agrees! ;)

Happy September, girlies! It's officially the first day of September! Who has already started school? I start on the 12th.  We got assigned a 20 page, front and back, and I still have 8 and 1/2 pages left. But that's not too bad! I can't wait to start school! But sadly, my bestie, Meerah, {who is a follower} isn't in my class! :( I entered American Girl Contest a couple of weeks ago, and the first theme is "Celebration". I got to take the photo tonight, and I will also send in my head shot after I edit it. :)
