I am new to Ubuntu, using 14.04. I was wondering if there is any way of putting up a picture or wallpaper on the Ubuntu desktop background as there is in Windows.

Click on the gear button on the top right corner of your screen. Then click on System Settings...
and from the window that appears click on Appearance
. On the right in the dropdown where it reads wallpapers
click and select Pictures folder
. From there you can choose an image from your own pictures.
