I've just about managed to change my blog header, but how do I now change the background to a nice photo?  Thanks.

Find this bit of code:
| Code: | body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
text-align: center;
color: #555555;
background: #d7b url(http://www.blogblog.com/moto_ms/outerwrap.gif) top center repeat-y;
font-size: small;
}
|
Delete or comment out by inserting // at the beginning of the background line.
In it's place add these lines:
| Code: | background-image: url(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/ferryfax/puppyface-1.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x repeat-y;
|
and again replace the http://....jpg part with your own link though how anyone could want anything other than our cute little puppy I don't know 
This will tile the background with your chosen picture. There is a way of editing a picture so it will tile more seamlessly but you need something like PhotoShop to do that, and I haven't reached that level of expertise with it to know how to do that. If you know please let us in on the secret - I for one would love to learn how to do it.
