Change Blogger Background in 10 Easy Steps


Really it ought to be simpler, but it takes a total of 10 steps to remove and change the background on Google Blogger presently in 2012.  That's not to say it will always work this way forever, but it certainly works this way now.

In this incidence, you're going to want to follow the video and watch it a few times.  It doesn't skip around but it goes fast at certain points.  How else can I prove that you can change your background in less than a minute?

One of the more hindering things about Google Blogger?  Max background image size is 300kb, which is tiny in comparison to what's required of a background image.  I personally can't explain the limitation in file size for this, because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.  But here's the steps.

Additionally worth note is a separate tutorial about resizing and calibrating the image for quality based on this size limitation, but that's a different video.  You can figure that out for yourself, possibly too.  In the meanwhile, please note the importance of the "Scroll With Page" feature.  While this has no impact on the way that the background image appears on tablet computers right now, it does make a difference on the regular computer.  It's not set automatically to be "OFF" so you need to do that manually.
