For the wordpress theme you are using on your blog, you might like to change the background image. Some themes support that directly and some don’t. But you still have a chance.
For the Dark Smoke 1.8.1 theme, there is a 938×378 jpeg file at
…/wp-content/themes/dark-smoke/Images/headline.jpg
You can simply pull that file to modify it with your favourite image editing tool. Or you can just create your own 938×378 jpeg file.
As an example, your blog looks like below:

The same / similar method can be applied to almost any wordpress template. Keep in mind:
- Find the exact URL of the image you want to replace
- Determine the dimensions and size of the image (and type for sure)
- Prepare your own image
- Upload your image with the same original name overwriting (backup recommended) the original file.
