Blogger Template Designer: Upload your own Background Image

Now you can upload your own background image in the new template designer. Check it out on draft.blogger.com --> Template Designer --> Background --> Background. It support jpg, gif, or png up to 300k in size. For full background, use images 1800x1600 greater.

After uploading a photo you will able to Alignment, Repeat, and Scroll options, that option not available for built in images.



According to bloggerindraft post

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.
