Changing the background in a Blogger template

    I know html fairly well, but don't know JavaScript. When I went into the template code to edit the background image there the page would not render properly - the new background would not work.

    Can someone please do a view source of my blog and give me the code for changing the background image? My blog URL is:

    http://www.blogblog.com/dots_dark/bg_minidots.gif <-- this is your background image.

    You can change it in the first part of your CSS. Within the Body Tag.
    <style type="text/css">
    /*
    -----------------------------------------------
    Blogger Template Style
    Name:     Dots Dark

    URL:      www.stopdesign.com
    Date:     27 Feb 2004
    ----------------------------------------------- */
    
    
    body {
      background:#123 url("http://www.blogblog.com/dots_dark/bg_minidots.gif") 50% 0;
      margin:0;
      padding:0 10px;
      text-align:center;
      font:x-small Verdana,Arial,Sans-serif;
      color:#abc;
      font-size/* */:/**/small;
      font-size: /**/small;
      }
    Code (markup):

    :D Thanks for the help! BTW, just wanted to say that it says it is OK to customize these Blogger templates all you want...

    Also, that IS what I changed before and it wouldn't work. The part where it says #123 never saw that before.....
