How to Add a New Blog Background

BACKGROUNDS INSTRUCTIONS...

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

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

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

4- In the code, 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-Find the blog background you like, and copy and paste the link below it between the parenthesis where it says '(direct link)'

7-Please give credit to the blogger background or blogbheader creator for their work.
