How do you put your own image as a background in the theme Kalalalani on Tumblr?

Okay. I have the theme Kalalani on Tumblr. I’ve been searching Fluther/Google/ and even Yahoo for half an hour. I want to change the background. I don’t know if it’s just that the Kalalalani disallows putting your own image as a background but I’m not sure.

Make sure your email has been verified by Tumblr. I know it sounds stupid, but I verified my email and then POOF all the sudden I could edit and save my Kalalalani theme. It’s ILoatheNewYork if you want to see what I did.

To edit:

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL HTML:
{block:IfLightTheme}
body { background: #fff; }
ol#nav li.home a { color: #333; }
ol#nav { background: #e7e7e7 url(http://static.tumblr.com/xz44nnc/oe5ll93v8/side-light.png) repeat-y fixed 0 0; }

REVISED HTML:
{block:IfLightTheme}
body { background: url(YOUR URL); }
ol#nav li.home a { color: #333; }
ol#nav { background: url(YOUR URL) repeat-y fixed 0 0; }

The bottom portion where you add the url is for the sidebar.
