alright , so here is how you do it ...

open the common.css file for your template you will find at the very begging

now you should just should add the following line :-
    background-image:url(path_to_your_image.gif); 

this should add the back ground image you want but there is some specifications that you can use as dont repeat the back ground or repeat it over the y or x  and so on ...

for more information see :-

background-image  property

if you still having some problems please post the image and i'll do it for you

if this did help you please take time to read my signature

I gave him enough information to google the topic, and possibly learn someting.  Unfortunately, you just gave him the wrong directions for what he wanted to do.
