So I believe there is no more background tag in HTML? I now need to use CSS. How do I do that? I need to make a .css file as well or what?

Yes, you do still have to make the css file.

The funny thing is, you posted a link to a site that says this underneath the codeblock you are quoting:

This is the old way of specifying a background image in HTML, and is now deprecated (outdated and not recommended) by the W3C. Instead of using this method, you should use the CSS method as described above.

You can still use a css block in the head tags, as well as inline css. Having a separate css file might be tidier, though.

Код HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <style type="text/css">
            body {
                background-image:url(path/to/image.jpg);
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <!-- stuff -->
    </body>
</html>

This doesn't validate and as far as I know it's unsupported by HTML5. Just do what Vince said.

You have to use css for many things in html5, such as centering, alignment, etc.

Thanks, what exactly do I do to have it in a separate CSS file?

CSS can be and doesn't have to be in a seperate file. See what Vince did - you can put css inside style tags in the header of an HTML document.

Let me explain it with comments:

Код HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <!--BEGIN CSS, STYLE TAGS MEAN CSS!-->
        <style type="text/css"> 
            /*YOUR CSS GOES HERE!*/
            body {
                background-image: url(path);
            }
        </style> 
        <!--END CSS-->
    </head>
    <body>
        <!--Your shit goes here-->
    </body>
</html>

Everything between the <style> tags can be added to a css file. Plain. Nothing else needed. To use it, you would use this between the <head> tags:

Код HTML:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
