How to Make a Background on an IMVU Homepage
The homepage for IMVU, a graphics-based instant-messaging program, allows you to take any remotely hosted picture and assign it as a background image for your webpage. In order to do this, you must first have your image uploaded to your own host, or an online image hosting service such as Photobucket, ImageShack or TinyPic. This picture can be anything you want; just remember that it needs to be a large enough size if you want it to fill up the entire background on the homepage.
