I need some help with profile coding please, because I can't figure out HTML for my life XD.
Please, can someone tell me how to:
• put a background on my profile, 
• change the color of the text on my profile,
• and change the color of the surface behind the text (not sure what to call it >.> )
Help would be greatly appreciated ^.^

You'll actually need to use CSS to do those things.  Here's how they work. :)
 
Background:
 
body{background:url(imageurlhere) backgroundcolorhere;}
 
You have to fill in the red spaces.  Use the image url (the direct link from a site like Photobucket) where the first red text is.  If you do this, generally you can just put "transparent" where the second red text is.  If not, and you want a solid background, or a background to fill in leftover space, type in either a common color, like "red", or use hex codes.  You can use Google to find a nice list of them.
 
Text Color:
 
div.box{color:color;}
 
Once again, you're substituting either a common color or a hex code.
 
Change the color behind:
 
div.box div.body{background-color:color; background-image:none;}
 
Here's the important part.  All three of these have to go inside style tags.  That means that you put <style> at the beginning and </style> at the end.
 
Let me know if you have any problems getting this to work!

It worked! Thanks..... Could I ask you one more thing though, if you don't mind? 
How do you change the background color of the boxes? It looks strange white since I changed the area behind the text black...

Use this, also in style tags:
 
#block1,#block2,#block3,#block4,#block5,#block6,#block7,#block8,#block9{background-color:color;}
