How to change my background color? There are two ways of accomplishing this, the CSS method, or HTML method: (#CC0000 represents red color) 
* Red represents the area you need to add or edit. For a wider range of color codes, <a href="http://www.colormatch.dk/" rel="nofollow">click here</a>.

How to insert a background image?
Before doing this, make sure you have your image URL ready, find a free image host to upload your images. Again, there are two methods, the CSS method and the HTML method: 
<ol><li>
CSS method (prefered) - search for the body styles within the <STYLE> tags:
<blockquote>body{ 
background: url("http://www.blogdrive.com/imagename.jpg"); 
}</blockquote>
Fixed background:
<blockquote>body{ 
background: url("http://www.blogdrive.com/imagename.jpg") fixed; 
}</blockquote>
Only repeat horizontally:
<blockquote>body{ 
background: url("http://www.blogdrive.com/imagename.jpg") repeat-x; 
}</blockquote>
Only repeat vertically:
<blockquote>body{ 
background: url("http://www.blogdrive.com/imagename.jpg") repeat-y; 
}</blockquote>
Without repeat:
<blockquote>body{ 
background: url("http://www.blogdrive.com/imagename.jpg") no-repeat; 
}</blockquote>
Position image to the center of the page:
<blockquote>body{ 
background: url("http://www.blogdrive.com/imagename.jpg") center; 
}</blockquote>
</li>
<li>
HTML method - search for the following and edit accordingly: 
<blockquote><body background="http://www.blogdrive.com/imagename.jpg"></blockquote>
Fixed background:

TITLE: iWebTunes / iWebMusic - Music on Your Blog
AUTHOR: Seige

BODY:
<center> </center>
There is this online music service offering music scripts to fellow bloggers for free. Bloggers whom installed it, will have music playing everytime their blog is visited. 
 
Unknown to many people, this music service actually has third party advertising attempting to install spywares on to the viewer's computer. This does not only affects the blog owner, but also the the visitors. 
 
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
<center><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></center>
 
This third parties advertisings, will not only store a cookie on your computer but installs a spyware monitoring your computer habits. 
 
If you have such script installed on to your blog, chances are your computer has already been "infected". You had be better off running a thorough virus scan right away. 
 
If you are an unlucky blog hopper whom came across blog with such scripts, I'm pretty sure you know what I mean. And chances are, your computer has already been infected. 
 
Let's all spread the news, and may all be well. 
 
ps. I thought I should recommend a good way of setting up music on your blog. Try <a href="http://www.radioblogclub.com/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">Radio.Blog</a>. It's free, it's safe, and it very small in size (means it doesn't take a long time to load your blog). However, you'll need to upload them to your own server.

However, many bloggers complaint of the "annoying" banner placed on their blog, claiming that it doesn't "blend" nicely to the design. Many then have attempted to use "nasty" methods to cover the banners. 
 
A BlogDrive Staff member (who prefers to be unnamed) was quoted sighing, "It's really sad, ad banners are very peaceful friends of Blogs. But we have no choice but to track down these "Covered-Banner-Blogs" and add "Evil Pop-ups" to them." This was revealed on the <a href="http://tagalicious.blogdrive.com/" target="_top">Tagboard</a> as the strategy to stop bloggers from covering BlogDrive's Advertisements.

TITLE: Permalinks
AUTHOR: Seige

BODY:
Yay, Permalinks are up and working! For those of you who doesn't know what's permalinks, it's just a direct link to the particular post. It's pretty useful if you find an interesting post in Blogdrive that you wish to link it to your blog. Simply right click, select copy shortcut and put up the link on your blog. 
 
If your permalink does not appear, just insert [permalink] into your main template next to the [comments] tag. 
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
<center><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></center>

<div style="background-color: #D6E2F5">Updates:</div>
What is permalink? 
Also known as permanent link, is a direct link to a single entry. This is very useful if you find an interesting entry and you would like to bookmark it. It goes by the tag [permalink] and is customizable in the "Blog Configuration" section, just like the comments. 
 
More information: 
The tag that goes with [permalink] is [comment data]. This tag is located below the Comments and Permalink of the entry section. To keep the design of the Permalink page Comments consistent and customizable, there is a separate section in the CSS (css for perma-comments) to edit the look of this area.
