Add A Background Picture/ Image On Your Blogger Blogs

Most blog pages have either white, black, blue or gray background (or any plain colors available in the color wheel). Well I feel they are kinda boring for my taste and I see it everywhere else. Just to clarify again I am not an expert at this, just telling you my experience and what I did with my blog.

I want my blog to stand-out and have my personal touch and adding a background image would definitely set me out from the rest. Also I want to learn doing changes on my blog on my own so I don’t have to bother anyone when I feel like customizing my blog.

If you would like to add a background picture/image on your blog it’s so easy.

Step 1 Add choose an image you want as your blog background.

Step 2 Upload it to a free image site like Flickr or Photobucket.

Step 3 Save and grab URL.

Step 4 Go to your blogger Edit HTML tab and find this part:

body {
background: $bgColor;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px;
font: x-small Verdana, Arial;
text-align: center;
color: $textColor;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;

Step 4 Add these codes and insert the URL of the image you want for your site that you uploaded earlier.

background-color:#ffebc5;
background-image: url(insert image URL here);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: bottom right;
background-repeat: repeat;
border-color:#ffffff transparent;
border-width:0px ;
border-style: solid;

Step 5 The codes should look like this when you are done

body {
background: $bgColor;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px;
font: x-small Verdana, Arial;
text-align: center;
color: $textColor;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
background-color:#ffebc5;
background-image: url (your image URL here);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: bottom right;
background-repeat: repeat;
border-color:#ffffff transparent;
border-width:0px ;
border-style: solid;
