This is actually pretty simple First you need the image to be position to where you want it to be by using div

CODE

<div style="margin-top: -100px; margin-left: -303px;"><img src="IMAGE URL"></div>

Adjust the numbers how ever you want to.

Then you nedd the background image to repeat up and down such as this

CODE

body
{background-color:black;
background-image: url(Background image url);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: top-left;

Then what I use is the thing you call nav heads

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><div class="module" style="overflow: visible; position: relative; width: 182px; margin-top: -700px; margin-left: 203px;"><br /><div class="navheader">Navigation</div><br><a href="http://www.xanga.com">xanga</a><br><br /><b></b> <a href="http://www.xanga.com/claf">look&feel</a><br><br /><b></b> <a href="http://xanga.com/private/home.aspx">private</a><br><br /><b></b> <a href="http://xanga.com/private/subs.aspx">read subscriptions</a><br><br /><b></b> <a href="http://www.xanga.com/Private/SubscribeTo.aspx?user=USERNAME">add me</a><br><br /><b></b> <a <br />href="http://www.xanga.com/guestbook.aspx?user=USERNAME">guestbook</a><br><br /><b></b> <a href="http://www.createblog.com/">Createblog</a><br><br /><b></b> <a href="http://www.xanga.com/Private/profilebasic.aspx">Edit pro</a><br><br><br /><br /><div class="navheader">About Me</div><br><br /><b>Name </b>Name here<br><br /><b>B-day </b>B-Day here<br><br /><b>Location </b>somewhere<br><br />More about you here<br><br /><br /><div class="navheader">Links</div><br><br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/">xanga</a><br><br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/">xanga</a><br><br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/">xanga</a><br><br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/">xanga</a><br><br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/">xanga</a><br> <br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/">xanga</a><br><br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/">xanga</a><br><br /><a href="http://www.xanga.com/">xanga</a><br><br /><br><br /><br /><div class="navheader">Extra Module</div><br><br />Anything else here </div><br><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

And after navheads I'd put how you'd want the blog to be positioned.

CODE

</div>
<div style="overflow: visible; width: 355px; margin-top: -50px; margin-left: -500px;">

Hmmm I think I did a good job explaining oh yeah and for the colors of the modules you use this.

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br />.navheader <br />/* on your menu module, this edits the title part of it */<br />/* like BLOGRINGS, POSTING CALENDAR, etc */<br />{background-image: url(URl);<br />background-repeat: no-repeat;<br />background-position: bottom;<br />font-family: Georgia;<br />text-transform: lowercase;<br />font-size: 14pt;<br />line-height: 30px;<br />font-weight: bold;<br />color: #C2C2C2;<br />letter-spacing: -2px;<br />background-color: none;<br />text-align: left;<br />border-bottom: 0px solid #000000;}<br /> <br />.module { <br />/* this edits the menu module */<br />text-align: left;<br />width: 182px;<br />color: #ffffff;<br />background-color: none;<br />font: normal 8pt arial;<br />BORDER: #B1CFF5 0px solid;}<br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

I'd place that omewhere in your style sheet.
