You want the direct link. After uploading your image view it. Then right click on the image and select 'View image' then copy and past the URL from that page to your code where I have explained to place it. Example ( background-image: url([link]; ) Also make sure where it says 'background-color' you have written 'transparent' so it should look like this background-color: transparent;
Good luck.

Looks pretty good, you might have to look through your entire code and find places you have color where you don't need it for example anything that says 'background-color' needs to be answered with a transparent. Where it just says 'color:' needs to be answered with a color. I see in what you have there 'color:' answered with 'Transparent' try answering it with a color code like #000000; and see if that changes anything. CSS it picky so one little thing can break the entire code.
I'm happy to help, especially on questions I still remember to answer. XD
I'm happy to help, especially on questions I still remember to answer. XDthank you for the next help ,i try it..but all i do is wrong: i dont see my image in the background...so i fount on DA a simple skin that i can load in my journal..name: *simple transparent journal skin*..when i open it it my edit skin..i see the codes of this one--is it possible to put my image url to this and it works?
Yes that should work. 
juhuuu it works!! but the size of the image is wrong....do you know witch size i must use for this transparent template?
Ah no I don't... it all depends on the template. I suggest playing with the size till it fits right.
