Blogger has been introduced Template Designer few months ago and many bloggers are using this feature. Blogger know that personalizing your blog is important. Although you can adjust templates, layouts, backgrounds and more with our Template Designer, but you wanted more ways to make your blog completely unique. Therefore now Blogger Template Designer allows you to use your own image as your blog background.

Just Go to Design | Template Designer | Background, click on Background Image, and you'll see the new "Upload image" option, which allows you to select and upload your image. There are a variety of options such as alignment, repeat, and scroll for how to display your new image. This feature is another graduate from Blogger in Draft. You can find more information in our original announcement.

If you want a full-screen background, blogger recommend using an image that's 1800pixels wide and 1600 pixels high, so that the background image can fill the entire screen even for the readers with large monitors. To make sure your blog loads quickly, background images must be small in file size. As the maximum file size you can upload is300KB, you may need to reduce your photo's file size using Photoshop, Mac OS X Preview, or one of many free online tools. You can also tile a smaller image, but keep in mind that patterns work better than photographs, which can make your blog look cluttered.

I think this is a another great step of blogger to make blogger blogs more professional. If you use Twitter, you know that it becomes more important when you are on blogger to promote your brand over internet.
