Okay, it's so easy. I know absolutely NOTHING about writing in html/javascript or whatever it is, so everything you see on my blog, I learned from google searches. haha.
First, you scan in a scrapbook paper and upload it to a site like photobucket (that's what I use). Photobucket then gives you like a direct link back to the photo or an htlm code for the photo. For this, you are going to use the direct link.
Then, go to your blog. Click layout, then Edit Template HTML. Find where it says: body { (you can use control f to find it)
Right under "body {", it should say: background:$bgcolor;
and write under that copy and paste: background-image:url();background-repeat:repeat-xy;
(so it will be like: body { background: $bgvolor; background image: url....)
In the parenthesis (after url), paste in the direct link from photobucket back to your picture.
So mine says, background-image:url(http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt72/laurenhagee/File0001-1-1-1-1-1.jpg);background-repeat:repeat-xy;
that "http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt72/laurenhagee/File0001-1-1-1-1-1.jpg" is the link to my picture. It you put it in your browser, you should get back to the picture. Does that make sense?
