Upload the image via Media > Add New and copy the file URL. Then paste this in the CSS editor:

body {
background-color:#123456;
background-image:url('URL');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:top center;
background-attachment:fixed;
}

Replace 123456 with the hex for a color that's close to the predominant one of the image and URL with the actual URL of the image.

Would you please lend me the code you used so I can test it?

Thanks!

I just tried an animated gif as a bg: it didn't work when uploaded via Appearance > Background, but it did when I added the equivalent code in the CSS editor.

Note: I'm a Mac user so I can't tell if Explorer would display it correctly.

Can I set an animated GIF image as a background on WordPress.com?

If so, how can I do that?

I have a news website and would like to have a moving orb as a background, but before buying the GIF file I'd like to make sure it is possible.

Thanks,

Luis.
