theres a number of different ways. You can amend your skin or inject the attributes into the head tag, but probably the easiest would be to log in as admin and go to admin->site settings. Scroll down and expand out the stylesheet editor. This will show the portal style sheet. You can amend the Body tag to reference an image as a background e.g.

change

/* background color for the content part of the pages */
Body
{
}

to something like the following (where the url path references the image you've uploaded)

/* background color for the content part of the pages */
Body
{

background: url(background1.gif)
}

where did you put that?

put it in your skin folder for the portal your working on, in the skin.css file, or make sure that your skin.html/ascx has a link to the CSS file your putting it in.

body

{

background-image:url(filename.jpg)

}

that method will work just fine, if the pic is in the root folder of the skin folder of the portal folder for the portal you are applying it to :->

c:\inetpub\dnninstal\portals\1\skins\skinname\HERE

That path is specific, it could be anything on your computer, but it's in the dnninstall\portals\1\skins\skinname more specifically, unless you are using host only skins..then it's in the \portals\default\skins\skinname folder where you need to edit the CSS, place the image, so on.
