60 Interesting Web Design Resource for Free Patterns, Backgrounds and Textures

Posted by | Posted in Resources | Posted on 04-03-2009

You might often look at your blog and realize that it is very dull and not attractive; it needs a little bit of your character, a personal touch. But not many bloggers are familiar with designing their own blog or changing the theme to a different look-and-feel.

The simplest way to change a theme is by changing its background texture and pattern. Its very simple, you just have to follow the steps below:

  1. First Download the pattern/ texture that you want.
  2. Next upload this image to some folder, say “images”, in your root directory.
  3. Now open the Style.css file in your theme in your Wordpress theme folder. This is normally found under wp-content/themes. You can use your favorite text editor, or simply notepad, to open this.
  4. Locate the <body> tag.
  5. Change the background parameter to background: url(/images/pattern.png) repeat; And then Save changes.

Where it says pattern this is the name you give to your pattern tile and the .png is the format in which your pattern comes in ( could be: .jpg, .png, .bmp, or .gif). And then you are good to go.

These are some of the free resources for background pattern and textures available for web designers.
