Could we have a link to your blog please?

If it’s a blog hosted at wordpress.com, just upload it as you would an image for a post, get the url and specify it in your style sheet.

Im assuming you mean the background thats a lighter black color??? If thats the case then you add it to the body class. Where it says background url, you add the image url
```
body {
	font-size:62.5%;
	font-family:Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
	background-color:#333;
        background:url('enter image url here');
	color:#B0B0B0;
	text-align:center;
	margin:0;
	padding:0 0 20px;
}
```
you get the image url by uploading the image into your media library by going to dashboard > media library
then after uploading, obtain the image url and enter it into the above class in your CSS

when you goto your media library and hover over the picture you want to add, you will see 3 links appear (edit, delete, view) click on view. The you will goto the image page, then click on the image and get the url from that page
