How to get a theme up

Part 1 (Beginners)

We will start with the simplest way and that's Custom Colors
No CSS involved all you need is an image for your background
You start off on Multiply with the Clean theme 
 
which is fairly boring its all white and grey, you want something a bit more colorful than that so the easiest way is to go to the Choose a theme pageand choose Custom Colors its the third one across
 
you will end up on this page the Choose Colors page.
 
Its easy, this is all you do upload an image from your computer by using "browse" and then preview it , looks ok does it? No?
Ok well try changing the colors around a little or going transparent as I've done here

until you end up with something like this

what does that look like actually on the page ?
It looks like this  don't like it this way ?
Try the other option Andros which looks like this

This is the simplest way to get a background up on your page
A seamless tile like I've used as an example works best this is the one I used and yes it really is that size, the rest of the images here are thumbnails that image is FULL SIZED
Here is a bit of a plug for a group Easy Themes all that group has is tiles and images for use on themes no codes just images

So now you know how to do a simple theme ...you want more don't you never satisfied ..ok ok Part 2  will be installing a customised CSS theme
