Help: Blog background design?

Recently I have started a blog, (By recently I mean yesterday,) but I need a background so it isn't just white. Sadly I can't design for my life so I was wondering if anyone could make me one? It would basically be white like it is now, but in the bottom left corner it would have something made up of google's signature colors. (The red, yellow, green, and blue) I was thinking of some sort of design made of hexagons, but failed in mspaint. For reference my blog is about chrome (Browser, OS, and chromebooks) and my experiences with it. It is updated daily (Or it should be) and can be found here: Chromeboy Chronicles. Thank you for at least reading through this.

P.S. Comments and criticisms about the blog in general are also welcome. :D

Probably the only Star Citizen player who is planning on a career in Journalism instead of piracy, mining, trading, exploration, military, station management, etc.

^ one of my favorites. 

Ooooo I like some of those, maybe I'll experiment with them. I really like this one, geometric, but I'd probably have to make it greyscale for easier reading. Thanks for sharing that.

One of my web design secrets. Since I'm more of a developer than a designer, I find things like this to help me out. There are so many to choose from, and they are OK for commercial use even if memory serves me right.

This blog looks very fanboyish. IMO the "Battery Concerns" post is a feeble attempt to detract from the fact that Google did a really poor programming job with that part of Chrome. Additionally, you are trying to badmouth the people who have been calling them out for that.

THIS SIGNATURE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

while it is fanboyish, the battery thing is the last problem I'd fix with chome. Plenty of other problems.

It is fanboyish by nature, but I'm working on improving my writing style so that it can become unbiased. I do think I could have done a better job of showing both sides, but that is kind of the point of this for me, a form of therapy if you will. I didn't mean to defend google or bad mouth other writers, I was simply writing down my opinions on the matter. They might come off as biased and ignorant, but I didn't intend them to be that way. Also I hate sensationalist headlines so I will call people out for using them, the articles themselves just come from a different view point. I can agree with many of their points, but I don't think they need to be saying it 'kills' your battery. All that will do is hurt chrome's credibility which doesn't need to happen if google has already said they'll fix it. Here is a better article about it. http://www.batterynews.org/2014/07/18/took-year-google-address-battery-draining-bug-chrome/
