Before you start
Before you start you need to make sure you have the right profile settings,
this is how you do that:
Go to My Gaia -> Account Settings -> Profile options
Make sure Choose Profile is set to Current
Don’t forget to click on the botom of the page!
How to apply your own background
First pick a picture and upload it on a picture hosting site.
For example here: http://www.photobucket.com/ (You will have to register an acount.)
Save the URL somewhere or copy it. Be sure to copy the line after 'Direct link'.
Go to Gaia and click on: My Gaia and then Profile.
When you're on your profile you click Edit My Profile Layout in the upper right corner.
When you click that you’ll probably have to wait a second.
(If the Edit My Profile Layout is not there you probably haven't confirmed your email account yet.
Go to your e-mail right away and confirm your registration to Gaia.)
When the blue bar appears you click Theme. A popup will open.
(You can now pick a theme that matches the background you want to add,
if you want to change it.)
Then click on the tab that says URL.
There you paste the URL of the background, you have saved/copied earlier.
Click on Add and exit the popup.
Click save, and the click on view to see your profile.
Whoohoo you made it!

It didn't work?
If it doesn't work and your profile changed back to how it was before,
then you probabbly didn't follow all the steps.
What to do now:
1. Read this post again, and see if you missed something.
2. Maybe a post in the Helpful Quotes section below might help you.
3. If It STILL didn't work, I can't help you.
Don't PM me cause I wont answer.
It's probably a problem with Gaia. Maybe it'll work again in a few days...

just put this in the CSS
html
{
background: url(http://ImageUrlhere.com/mostlikelytheimagename.jpg)
}

Also, put your Images Url in it.
If you need any help I might just make a youtube video on how to do it. (might make one anyways)
