How do I add a background image?

First, you must upload your background image to a site that allows remote loading (http://www.blurty.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=120).

Next, go to your "modify journal" page (http://www.blurty.com/modify.bml)
and scroll down to the bottom. You'll need to use the override code found below in your "overrides" box.

Note that if you are using more than one GLOBAL_HEAD override (such as a font override and a background override together), that the overrides will need to be merged together.


GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-image: url(http://www.your-website.com/image.jpg) !important;
}
-->
</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD


Within the code, "http://www.your-website.com/image.jpg" must be replaced by the actual URL of the image you want to use as your background.

Fixed backgrounds:

On some newer browsers, background images can be "fixed," so that the image will not move as you scroll down the page. To do this, just add "background-attachment:fixed" to the middle line of the above override code, like this:


GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-image: url(http://www.your-website.com/image.jpg) !important;
background-attachment: fixed !important;
}
-->
</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD
