  Hi

  You’ll need to edit the custom CSS of your site to add a background image. You’ll need to have the premium or business level account to access that feature. Here’s some background information on custom CSS: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/

  If you do have one of those accounts, here’s the code that you’ll want to add to your custom CSS editor:

  #content {
      background: url("ADD-YOUR-URL");
  }

  You’ll need to replace the ADD-YOUR-URL section with the full URL to the background image you’d like to use.

  The easiest way to do this is to load the image to your WordPress.com media library and use that URL. If you need help finding the media URL, take a look at the “Edit an Image” section at https://en.support.wordpress.com/media/

  Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.
