Rustic Butterfly

Of course this is free for everyone, but I made especially for my dear friend, Rebekah Andrus Nelson. I remember a case of dead butterflies of hers and stories of how she went butterfly hunting. I know you didn't request it--so don't feel like you HAVE to use it--- I just thought I'd make it. I haven't tried it in a blog to see what it actually looks like, so let me know what you think.

How to post and use these sassy backgrounds:

You need to first make sure you're using the Blogger template 'minima' , then:

Log into to your blog and click on 'customize', you'll then see a tab on the far-right that says 'edit html' click on that option. You'll see an HTML code that looks like English hieroglyphics; however, scroll to where you see this part of the code:

body {
background:$bgcolor;
margin:0; color:$textcolor; font:x-small Georgia Serif; font-size/* */:/**/small; font-size: /**/small; text-align: center;

Cut the code and insert this new HTML code to this:

body {

background:$bgcolor;background-image:url(direct link);background-position: center; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed;

margin:0; color:$textcolor; font:x-small Georgia Serif; font-size/* */:/**/small; font-size: /**/small; text-align: center;

Now, find your favorite background, and copy and paste the link between the parenthesis where it says direct link.

Be sure that you only cut and paste the direct link works and that you cut and paste the entire new URL listed under the background you wish to use. Be sure not to erase any parenthesis, commas, etc. because that will mess up the entire HTML.

Hit preview to make sure you blog is looking normal--- if not, repeat the steps and try again. If you're still having problems, send us an e-mail at sassybackgrounds@gmail.com.

If you succeeded-- CONGRATS--- know you can tell people you can do HTML!! (at least a little bit of it).

The backgrounds do not expand the entire blog page, but if you would like them too-- send us an e-mail and we'll tell you how. Otherwise, click on Fonts and Colors to match the page background with your new blog look!! Be sure to click on NAVBAR and change the color of your navigation bar to match your new background. It is located on the Page Elements page under the blog layout option.

Keep those blogs looking SASSY!!!
