2.Once you upload the picture , you will get options such as

Blogger: Google allows using Your Own Photo for a Blog’s background image

  • Alignment: You can adjust horizontal (left, center, right) and vertical (top and bottom) alignment of your background image.
  • Repeat (Tile): If you have a small image, you can have it repeat horizontally and/or vertically to fill the page. Otherwise, we recommend that you choose a page background color that blends in with your background image.
  • Scroll: By default, your image stays in place while readers scroll the page contents. By selecting the “Scroll with page” option, both the background image and page contents scroll together. We recommend that you use an image that blends into your background color or set your image to tile vertically if you choose this option.

This feature is available on Blogger in Draft right now, so please go ahead and check it out!

My mother and I want to develop a blog site similar to this for our website, I stumbled across your website trying to find some ideas on the theme as well as layout. I am taking some coding course while attending college and not confident that I would be able to create a site like this one just yet. Did you code this site your self or employ a qualified?

Sick and tired of your website getting useless low traffic? Well i want to let you know about a new and amzing profit system that lets you get high quality targeted traffic and LOTS of it! You can use this traffic to sell products such as ClickBank products and start earning money within 2 hours. With this new system i personally made $4,100 in the first week and last month made just over $219,000. Got your attention? I don’t blame you, this is selling out quick.
