I know, I know, the first thing you'll say is "We have to many of these!" well the fact of the matter, most of them are confusing.
If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate.
Well here we go...

This tutorial is a bit too sloppy on the lettering and how it only uses red. It blends in with the words too much, which makes it hard to read some times.
Anyways, it is a good tutorial, but you forgot to say that you need to extract and insert the normal GFX first, otherwise the GFX will still be in 3bpp format, and will screw up the entire rom's graphics. Beginner hackers will be confused and angry.

This is a decent tutorial for a noobie hacker who want's to just insert something without too much trouble.
Not too bad.
Good job.

Also resize the images. It stretches the page, even on my huge screen.

Here's a tip:
Rearrange the Map16
If you're using LM1.80+, Then arrange it so commonly used tile arrangements are all together.
If you're using a lot of different ExGFX, rearrange them so that they're on the same page (for example, you can put Destroyed Grassland, Indulgence and Mushroomy Kingdom on the same page)

Sorry, but I'm a hacking noob. I just started quite recently, and don't know most of what people here are talking about. In fact, my map is (well, if we cant fix my hack then was) glitching up and wouldnt let me go anywhere. So, could you tell me step by step how to do the things you said?

My only problem is when I go to the Background Editor to use the Graphics i imported I press the page up and down and its only the default page its already using and blank blue blocks pages, and I saved after the pages the default backgrounds were in which was page 40 and 41.
Also the sample levels that come with the GFXs i download all keep saying "FG/BG GFX File not found in rom" so the background is blank.
If someone can help me out here I'd appreciate it =)

It's different for changing the BG GFX Page. in LM 1.7+ you have to highlight everything in the BG Editor than press F9. You put in 100 to go one page forward and -100 to go one page back.

It's normal for it to say that since the BG Page used in the Sample Level might not always be the first blank page you have from page 40-7F.

Alright it worked thanks. As for the the sample level thing, so I have to find the page its using and insert the background there?

It can be on any page for the BG, you just have to copy and paste than change the page.
