How do I add a custom background image to my Tumblr?

Help with adding a background image to my tumblr theme?

  • I am using a premade theme on my tumblr, but i would like to add an image to it as my background. However, when i try to, it messes up the rest of my layout, and also does not repeat. I've tried changing a few things, but I can't seem to get it right. Here is my coding (the part with the background coding): <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US"> <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"> <meta name="color:Body" content="#eeeeee"/> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <meta name="color:Content Background" content="#FFFFFF"/> <meta name="color:Text" content="#444444"/> <meta name="color:Link" content="#666666"/> <meta name="color:Link Norm" content="#999999"/> <meta name="color:Link Nav" content="#000000"/> <meta name="color:Tweet" content="#FFFFFF"/> <meta name="color:Side" content="#E5E5E5"> <meta name="color:Border" content="#E0E0E0"> <meta name="image:Background" content=""/> <meta name="if:ask" content="0"/> <style> /*___default____*/ body {background-color:{color:body}!important… i would like to know how to work it in the url so it is the main background image. however, i still want the content to have its own background color

  • Answer:

    You need to find the following code in your theme: <style type=”text/css”> Then look for this: body { inside the body tag there should be the background: line. Insert the image's URL there, and you're done.

Put <url before and url> after, that worked for me like 5 years ago.
