Just edit your template Do you have any knowledge of HTML or CSS?

 

ha! i thought i did. it's a big html/css world out there. so apparently, no. i don't. blargh! =/

 

If you choose one of the standard Blogger templates (like Minima) it would be extremely easy to do

 

i can understand how it would be, and that all i need to do is insert the url to have the background and just play with the html colors, but.. i'm sucking at figuring it out. i guess i'm more computer illiterate than i thought. i feel like my mother who when she wanted to check her email, typed her email address in the browser & then asked me why she couldnt get to her inbox.

 

since you're the only one who really responded, could you help me figure this thing out?

 

Have you accessed your CSS file?

 

i do believe so. yes sir.

 

Here's the section of code that affects your entire background (the gray area):

body {
font: 62.5% 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
color: #444;
background: #EDEDED;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 0 30px;
}

And here's the area that controls the smaller background (white area):

#page {
background: white;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 20px 0 10px;
position: relative;
/* The entire template's width is set in this class. */
width: 760px;
/*_width: 760px;*/ /* IE hack */
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-top: none;
}

I couldn't find your exact MySpace colors, but you can use a tool like http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~FX6M-FJMY/java09e.html to pick the exact colors you want.
