I havent a clue but would be very interested to learn how to do it myself, I tried and couldn't do it, as the box is in a settings part which wouldnt allow html.

Confused and pictureless!

Grrrr blinking HTML! I managed to get it up as background once but then it tiled on me and I haven't figured out how I managed to even get it to that stage since!

It is easy.
1.Use the blog layout with circles.You know the one.
2.Change the url jpeg till you get the right one.
3.You will find that each picture url will change a different part of the Blog.

Generally it's really easy to do this, but because you're using a Cascading Style Sheet template sometimes you have to play with it. I would be very careful in doing this since it sounds like you have never done this before. However if you want to play around I'll give you some steps so you don't just screw your fine blog up beyond all repair.
Login to blogger and find your Blog Template.
Click in the box where you code is and hit "CTRL A" This will select all your code.
Now hit "CTRL C" this will copy that code.
Find Notepad "Start - Accessories" and paste the code into it. "Ctrl V"
NOW SAVE!
Don't mess with this code it's your backup.
Open up another Notepad document and paste the code like you did before.

Now find the body tag and replace it with
body background=http://photos21.flickr.com/27563492_61b8980b05.jpg?v=0

all tage have a < > but it wont allow me to post that.

This should now change the background to your flower picture. I honestly don't think you will like it. Your text will be impossible to read with this picture. It might look nice if you used tables so the flower just shows on the outside of your blogged text, but that is a more difficult tutorial. If you really want to learn simple code that you can use for your site http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ is a great resource or you can always purchase a program like front page or dream weaver they give huge discounts for students if your in college.
