After you change it, it would like like this: <h2>BECKYSSPACE</h2>

How can I advertise on your website?
How can I change my background image?
This takes a little bit of css knowledge, but I'm sure you can manage. First, find an image you like on the internet and save it to your Photobucket, MySpace, etc. Next, go to edit your profile and search (Edit > Find) for this EXACT text:
body {background-image
After finding this, replace the URL to the right of this text with your own URL. It should look like this:
body {background-image: url(your image url here);
You should also make sure it's positioned correctly. Use the following tags to position it how you want it. You're going to have to change these tags, they're right next to the new url you put in.
background-position: left bottom; This positions it on the bottom left of the screen.
background-position: left top; This positions it on the top left of the screen.
background-position: center bottom; This positions it on the bottom center of the screen.
background-position: center top; This positions it on the center top of the screen.
background-attachment: fixed; This makes it so the background doesn't move.
background-attachment: scroll; This makes it so the background does move.
background-repeat: no-repeat; This makes it so the background doesn't repeat.
background-repeat: repeat; This makes it so the background does repeat.
background-repeat: repeat-x; This makes it so the background only repeats horizontally.
background-repeat: repeat-y; This makes it so the background only repeats vertically.
