Backgrounds for blogs...

I was given an address some time ago:
http://www.grsites.com/
there're a lot of backgrounds on that site but I couldn't manage to do it...may be you could...

but some days ago I found a really great site, many many advices, easy to understand...and I did it and am ever so happy with the results...
I succeeded in making my own backgrounds... unique ones... so go to this place, it's great:
http://betabloggerfordummies.blogspot.com
The pictures used to make the backgrounds are collages, photos....They are on a page measuring about 27 on 19 cm. I scan them to reduce to 15 on 10 cm...
When you work on the HTML of the template you get something like this:
background-position:120% 10%;
I had to reduce it to 0.9% 0.5%
to get the image I wanted...that's the longest part of the work...find the exact proportions...
Be patient!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Midnight blog secret

How to get this black picture in a black blog...

Answer:

Reverse colours...

In midnight blog we want the illusion to be perfect, the figures must not look drawn on black paper, but as they lived in the dark...We had to find a way ...Mousie helped Sisabeille to get a rather good result...

The explanation is there: next post...

The secret of Midnight blog is here...If you work on black paper , scan your drawing and post it on your blog, you never get a perfect result...you see the outlines of the picture...if you want the figures to bring out of the black background, you must work on white paper and then reverse the colours...

that's not really easy, so you better start by making your own colour palette, real and reverse...
