The new version of myspace is very user friendly. All you have to do for myspace 2.0 is go to the top and click the profile tab which gives you a drop down list. From here click customize profile. You'll now encounter a Box with 2 main categories (Appearance, and Modules) and 4 sub categories (Select theme, change layout, advanced edit, and CSS). Click advanced edit and it will automatically have background at the top of your list. Now just upload your photo url to the background box and select the settings you want. After done with this click publish in the upper right corner. Done!
Note: The above method requires you to upload to photobucket or flicker.
P.S. you can also use the method atomic mentioned above by using the CSS tab instead of advanced edit.
Hope this is what you were looking for! =)

thanx
this was exactly what I was looking for. This confirms that I have followed all the right steps, however, my background is still not my image, lol. Not sure if theme or layout play are role in how the page is displayed but I gone back & forth between no & minimal theme.

OK, it finally worked. I was doing it right the whole type but the system seems to be fickle. I had been trying with a Flickr image ... and finally had the idea to try a myspace image. As soon as i made the change it started working. I went back to the Flickr image and have no problems since. Very strange.

Here's a link to the profile generator that I've used before. It's easy and really customizable.

I dont want a generator ... I want to use my own picture for the background. I need to know where and how to do the CSS code me thinks.
Oh, well that's really easy. First you need a place to host your picture like Flickr. Then, the CSS is really simple to change the background to either a color or an image (or both).
To change the background color:
To add a background image:
Then, you can control how the background image repeats using the background-repeat parameter:
background-repeat: repeat-x; (repeats horizontally)
background-repeat: repeat-y; (repeats vertically)
background-repeat: no-repeat; (appears once, no repeat)
I checked some of the forums on myspace, and you might need to add this code to get rid of all current table styling or else your background won't show up:
I think you can put this stuff anywhere in the Interests & Personality boxes.
Hope this helps.

Ok, well I guess you can't put CSS in here, and now the edit button doesn't work. Here's what's missing.
All of this must be surrounded by the style tag.
To change the background color:
body {
background: #FF0000;
}
To change the background image:
body {
background-image: url('
http://www.flickr.com/yoursweetpic.jpg');
}
To remove current table styling:
table, tr, td {
background-color:transparent;
border:none;
border-width:0;}
