to start i realize that there are several postings trying to help people like me to get a picture on the background of their myspace and make other changes to make it gorgeous, but i dont get exactly what to type to get the picture i want in the background and my text to get fat and pink. i did the css tutorial but i dont understand.... help? =)

i havent bin on myspace for a long time but this should still work:
1. Go to your homepage on MySpace NOT the site homepage.
2. Click on Edit My profile
3. Click on Edit in any of the options EXCEPT the Headline edit.
(I put myn in the About Me section)
4. After or before your text (it doesnt really matter, i did it after)- put in your CSS:
<style type="text/css">
body{
background-image:url(THE URL OF YOUR IMAGE GOES HERE eg. http://mysite.com/images/wallpaper.jpg);
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-color:COLOUR or HEXCODE GOES HERE eg. red;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: large;
color: #FF66FF;
}
</style>

that should work i hope

you can also get a photbucket account to get the url of the picture you want in the background.
