So, I've been trying to learn how to change the backgrounds on my blog, but everytime I do it, I lose all my sidebar stuff. I'm sick of manually retyping it all back in (and even when I thought I'd saved a back up copy of my template with the sidebars intact, I loaded it back up wrong so I got a blog page loaded with html code instead of what you should see.... Can someone please help me figure this out before I lose my mind? I'm not going to add back in my sidebar stuff until I've learned how to successfully change around my background without losing it. Please email me if you can walk me through this... Thanks!
UPDATE!!! So with hubby and oldest son gone for the night on a scout camp-out, I was able to dedicate more than the normal amount of time figuring this out. I'm VERY pleased with the results! You can find fun backgrounds here and here, and you can read about how to change them out without losing your "widgets" (the official html code name for page elements) here. I'd already read one tutorial that had me completely baffled, but this one I was able to get through with only one mistake! I've wasted hours and hours over the last week or so looking for fun and cute background pages for the future. I want to be completely proficient at this so I don't have to follow the instructions verbatim each time, so don't be suprised if you see my background changing often over the next few weeks. This is almost more fun that moving furniture!!!
