Help!!!!

I finally figured out how to change the background to something other than what blogspot offers! No offense, but in my opinion the backgrounds they offer are boring! I still have a slight problem though. I cant figure out how to keep my links when i add the new background. It tells me to confirm that they will be deleted, thus putting back to square 1(re-entering all of them). Very annoying to say the least. Since i know there are much more experienced bloggers out there than me; I am asking for any advise you could spare????!!
