<body background="img.gif">
If you want to set a background color while the image is loading (so its not a white background) here is the code:
<body bgcolor="#00000" background="img.gif">

What MaverickSidewinder said was the way for HTML
The way you are saying is CSS.
Both work, just different languages.

It looks good to me, but are you trying to link from another site, or the site the file is on? The host server may not allow absolute links for images, or the image hosting site may not allow hotlinking. Always use relative links unless you have some compelling reason, or of course if you using another host for the images.
Something that I find very handy is to build a duplicate of a website in my machine, if possible, so that every thing can be checked.

I don't think they have to in CSS, that one is in CSS...
Anyway I got it working without those, I wanted to know if I could do it in HTML but it seems like I had to do it in CSS
