Here's how.

First, go to your Edit HTML Template page.

Dashboard > Layout > Edit HTML
Then look for the body { ... } section, usually appear after the Variable Definitions.

body { background:$bgcolor; margin:0; color:$textcolor; font: x-small "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, Sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: center; }

It doesn't have to look exactly like that. As long as you found the body { } section.

Now to change the background, all you need to do is play around with the background: line.


Change Background Colour

background: #FFFFFF;

Just change the #FFFFFF to other hexadecimal colour value. #FFFFFF is white. For more colours, check them out here here.

Also, you can put the colour name if you want.

background: white;

However, for more variety of colours, you are recommended to use the hexadecimal colour code.


Add Background Image

First upload your background to the Internet - ImageShack, Photobucket or any of your favourite photo uploading sites. Then obtain the direct link to the picture.

background: url(LINK);

Just add the image URL to LINK and you're done. Also you can modify the positioning and location of the image.

Just add these code after the URL part.

Repeat the image horizontally (left to right):

repeat-x

Repeat the image vertically (top to bottom):

repeat-y

No image repeat:

no-repeat

Repeat both vertically and horizontally:

(don't put any "repeat" tag)

Position image to the left or right:

left (for left side) or right (for right side)

Position image to center of screen:

center

Fix image on background (to prevent image from moving when scrolling):

fixed

Now your complete background code may look like this:

background: #FFFFFF url(http://abc.com/image.jpg) repeat-x fixed;

So just play around and you'll understand it. Enjoy!
