How to Customize My Neopets Background

Neopets is an online, interactive game website that allows users to adopt and maintain virtual pets. Personalizing your Neopets background requires basic HTML knowledge. To help out users who are not skilled in HTML, Neopets provides individual tutorials on editing and personalizing your page and account.

Things You'll Need

• Neopets account

Instructions

1. Log in to your Neopets account. Click on "My Account" in the upper left-hand corner of the page.

2. Choose the option "Edit Profile" from the drop-down menu under "My Account."

3. Scroll down the "User Information" page to the "About Me" box. You can insert HTML code into this box to alter your page background information.

4. Create a colored background for your page by inserting the following code into the box: <style> body {background: fixed; background-color: red;}</style>. Broaden the range of available colors by using number codes rather than the name of the color.

5. Add a background image by saving the image you wish to use to an online photo-sharing site, such as Photobucket.com or Flickr.com. Capture the URL of the image and save it to your clipboard. Enter the following code into the "About Me" box: <style> body { background:

   URL("http://samplebackground.com");background-attachment: fixed}</style>. Paste the URL for your image between the quotations.

6. Preview the changes to your background by clicking on the "Preview Changes" link just above the "About Me" box. If you are happy with the changes, click on the "Change Your Details" button under the "About Me" box.
