im trying to put a background on my page from the choices they have here on this site but i dont understand what "Bg1" or "bg2" stand for.
Find the background you want to use
Highlight the text in the box and use the Edit -> Copy or ctrl+C option to copy it
Visit your column settings page. (be sure you're logged in)
Paste the background URL in the "bg1" or "bg2" option boxes and hit save.
