  That background image can make it very difficult to read your blog.

  Welcome to WordPress.com!

  Here is one possible way to change the background image for the Manifest theme:

  body {
  	background: url(https://fortheloveofallthatisfashion.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/background.jpg);
  }

  You can try it out by going adding that example to your Appearance > Customize > CSS editor.
