Typically this can be done in you style.css file (or similar depending on template & blog). In wordpress you can modify your style.css by clicking on Design and then click on Theme Editor. Once in the theme editor you should see a list of pages and stylesheets on your right. For my theme, I can change the background by first selecting style.css from the list of stylesheets and modifying the Body tag as shown below.

body {
  background-image: url(images/Tile001-150x150.gif);
}

'Tile001-150x150.gif' is the name of the image file I uploaded to my images directory of the theme I am using.

Also in Wordpress, look for a blog design (template) that has image backgrounds built in as a premade option.

The one I use at Uebelhart.net had places for several backgrounds, and I just switched the pics with some of my own.

i dont use anything fancy. they are premade templates on blogger.com. i dont know any of the language but i would just like to create a blog with a personal touch.

I'm not very familiar with blogger, but I googled 'blogger.com adding background image'. You might be able to find some good help there.
