hi there.
i am an ultimate noob in wordpress. i would like to ask how do i edit the backgrd to add images along the side bar or as a banner? i dont really know hw to use CSS. is there simple ways to do so?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You would need to purchase the edit CSS option but, as you say you have no facility with CSS, that would be a bad idea, as there is little support for it. Editing CSS you really need the experience to know exactly what you’re doing, otherwise it’s best left alone.

Can we have a link to your blog?
You can add images to the sidebars using text widgets and some themes allow you to upload custom headers at the top of the page. There is also a trick that can be used with the text widget for adding a background image to the blog itself.
We need a link to your blog though in order to help.

@thesacredpath re There is also a trick that can be used with the text widget for adding a background image to the blog itself….
Would you be so kind to elucidate (html)?

This is the code, and you put it into a text widget at the top of the sidebar and then edit and add the URL for the background image and adjust the settings as required.
<div style="position:fixed;top:0;left:0;background:#fff url('http://IMAGE_NAME.jpg');width:100%;height:100%;z-index:-1000;"></div>Do note that it does not work well with all themes, and the theme you are using is one of those that the trick does not work with since everything you see on that theme is a bunch of interlocking images rather than just one. Flexible width themes in general are problematic to impossible with this trick.
