Using and installing pre made backgrounds

There are MANY sites that you can get beautiful FREE, pre made backgrounds. Here is a few of my favorites:

- Scrap-e-blog

- Cutest Blog on the Block

- Shabby Blogs

- CoffeeShop

INSTALLING PRE-MADE BACKGROUNDS

- Copy the code that is given to you with the background. It's a long code that starts and ends with < script >. Make sure you copy it all.

- Go to your blog and go to your Dashboard and hit Layouts, then Page Elements. Or Go to Customize, then layouts then Page Elements.

- Click to "ADD a Gadget". You can use it anywhere...but I normal use the very bottom one to keep it out of the way. In the TITLE spot, leave it blank. If you type in it, it WILL show on your blog. In the CONTENT spot, paste your code. Hit save and then "preview your blog".

You can go back and change your blog background as many times as you want by taking the same steps. Just make sure you always use the same "gadget" spot, and delete your old code before pasting the new one.
