shorty27's alternate way to do backgrounds What they write in the faq never works 4 me, so im just gonna tell u how i do it.
1. Go to a site with backgrounds like Hot free layouts or Myspacemaster
2. Copy the URL of the background you want then go to "Edit Profile" and paste the URL to the blurb(the description thing)
3. Press "Next Step" or whatever it says then go to your profile and you should have a background.
