Template/Background Change

Does anyone know how to change the background? I tried to change it and it just changed the background at the top where it says The Papa's.

I wanted to change the whole background, which I believe might be called the template.

Can anyone tell me how?

Hey Jules, I want to change my background too. My friend Rachel(Demartin - on my blog, under "fellow bloggers" her background is way cute!) had this on her blog, I haven't tried it yet but this is what she said:

Backgrounds for Blog

I've learned a lot of things from creating this blog & a lot of you have asked for some tips. So I've included some websites I like best. Note that changing the background picture will not alter the template layout. However by changing the layout of the template to a classic template or something completely different than what you have (more columns, different margins, etc), it’s possible to loose information. Remember to save your current template before making any changes.

Hello, It's me Brigitte. I saw your blog on Raeanne's blog.
I just figured out how to change the background with the help of some friends. You can go to pyzam.com but I like this site a little better...http://www.leeloublogs.blogspot.com/. One thing to do is if you have any "links" like other families blogs listed on your side bar then you need to write them down or copy and paste them somewhere because they will be erased every time you change your template. Good Luck! It's so much fun.

Just go to "customize" (upper right) then "pick new template". There are a lot on there to choose from. Are you wanting something more adnvanced? That is all I know. Hope it helps.
