How to Load background

Wednesday, February 27, 2008

Now for the Background. It works the same way as most of the other Blog Background sites.

1-In the 'Pick New Template' tab, you must change your template to 'minima' (not minima ochre or others, just plain white minima)

2-Log into to your blog and click on 'customize'

3-Click on 'edit html' on the far right

4- In thecode, 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;}

5-Change that part of the code to say this: 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;}

6-Copy and paste the link below the background and paste it between the parenthesis where it says '(direct link)'

NOW if you are having troubles make sure you don't still have a gadget code in there with the old background. You will want to make sure and remove that also.

Tiff, I LOVE the new backgrounds! I put the new blue and pink one on my blog and lost all my blog links...and a few other things. What am I doing wrong?
