  If all you want to do is to change the background, delete everything from the CSS edit window, make sure “add to existing…” is selected and add paste in the following

  body {
  background:#FFFFFF url(URL_OF_BG_IMAGE) repeat scroll 0 0;
  }

  and replace ” URL_OF_BG_IMAGE ” between the parentheses with the URL of the background image you uploaded to your media library.

  Do note that there is no “white background on the post/sidebar area which means your background will have to be low contrast, not to busy and fairly light or your blog will be difficult to read. You can add background color definitions to the post/sidebar area if you need to.

  If I may, you don’t really need the “scroll” and “repeat” values there. This should suffice:

  body {
  background:#fff url(URL_OF_BG_IMAGE) 0 0;
  }

  I used your method to add my background image, but I need to know now is how to make the image remain still and have only the blog scroll down. I don’t want the background image to repeat. Can this be done?

  I answered that three posts above yours. You need to add “fixed” to the declaration replacing “scroll.”
