This will put a blue background gradient on your profile and about me pages.
Copy the following code and go to your profile. Click on the "Edit About Me" button. Paste into the top of the very first box. Save changes and look at your profile.

<style type="text/css">

div#bodyContent {
background-image: url(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2603/4082111626_61cd7110a4_o.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}

</style>

Note: If you already have <style type="text/css"> and </style>, don't repeat those. Just add the middle part of the code between them.

You have to highlight the code first by holding the left button and dragging the mouse over it, then right-click on the highlighted code. I know that on some sites they use a javascript where you can just click to copy, but they don't allow scripts in posts here.

I tried to click on it and click copy, but it won't work. It won't even show the word copy.

You somehow have an extra } and an extra </style>. You should delete the extras and leave one of each.
