You want the whole background to be an advert link? Well, you cannot achieve that by doing it directly to the body tag. You have to use a trick. Check what I did here: http://www.ctrlshiftstudios.com/ad

If that is what you want, then copy this line of code:

<a href="http://theadvertlink.com" id="advert">advert link</a>

Then open your blogger html editor and paste it after the opening <body> tag.

Then go to the stylesheet section and paste below codes:

#advert{
display:block;
height:100%;
width:100%;
position:fixed;
left:0;
top:0;
z-index:0;
text-indent:-5000em;
background:url(http://www.yourwebsite.com/adverImage.jpg);
}

Then try to locate the main wrapper of your website. Get the class or id and then go back to stylesheet section and add these two lines of code in it.

position:relative;
z-index:100;

Wow this is quite difficult and long i will try and let you know

Thanks soo much for helping.

But the sample you gave me is not what i want. The advert normally is the background image itself and it starts after the Blog Title and description.

Like this one: http://www.ctrlshiftstudios.com/ad
If not, then what exactly do you want? Can you send a link of a blog that is currently doing what you want to achieve?
Re: Help!!! Please Who Knows How To Add A Clickable Background Image On .com by KOSMOTV: 1:59am On Sep 24, 2013

The codes above can achieve that. But if you find it difficult tweaking, you may send me the website details to me let me assist you with it.
Cheers.

Thanks for your response, i have been reading about this. The problem is, i keep getting "ADD THE PICTURE URL" Which you also mentioned but this code was given to me by an advertiser.

Its Html code for a gadget.it started like this <script type="text/javascript"><!--
zone = "8";

There is more lines which includes url, but if i do this process without adding all the codes nothing happens.

Do you understand wat i mean?

Thanks

I understand what the guy is saying. Guys take a look at http://perezhilton.com and see what he means by a clickable background image. You must view it with a PC
Re: Help!!! Please Who Knows How To Add A Clickable Background Image On .com by GraphicsPlus(m): 10:44am On Sep 24, 2013
You may need to paste here the whole url or the codes your advertiser gave to you so that we can see clearly what you are trying to achieve.

It's simple. Just add target="_blank" to the link command.

Like: <a href="http://theadvertlink.com" id="advert" target="_blank">advert text</a>
