  • Ready to customize your MySpace page? Try experimenting with skins. Skins provide color, graphics, and a complete layout to brighten and personalize your profile. Here is a guide on how to add skins to MySpace.

  • Introduction

    • MySpace skins, also called layouts or themes, allow you to alter the appearance of your profile. They add colors and graphics, and basically redesign your whole page. You can choose skins that feature your interests or hobbies, or you can just opt for a color scheme that you think is cool.

  • Step 1: Join MySpace

    • Before you can start using skins, you need to create your own MySpace account. Just follow these instructions:
    1. Go to MySpace.com.
    2. Click on Sign Up in the upper right-hand corner.
    3. Fill out the form.
    4. Click on the Sign Up button under the form.
    5. On the next screen, enter the letters and numbers you see into the text box.
    6. Choose to invite friends from your address book by clicking Find Friends, or click Skip This Step if you don't wish to do this.
    7. Check the email address you used to sign up.
    8. Click on the link in the email (or copy and paste it to your browser) to confirm and be directed to your MySpace home page.

  • Step 2: Browse through MySpace Themes

    • The first place to look for skins is on MySpace itself. Here's how:
    1. Log into MySpace.
    2. Go to Profile at the top of the page towards the left.
    3. When the drop-down menu appears, click on Customize Profile.
    4. Look under All Themes at the top of the page for rows of thumbnails.
    5. Click on the theme you like.
    6. Click Publish in the upper right-hand corner to save the theme to your page.

  • Step 3: Peruse Other Websites

    • Of course, you may not find a skin that you love on MySpace. If not, then it's time to start looking at other websites. There are plenty of sites that offer free skins. A Google search will bring up an extensive list, or you can try one of the sources listed below. Once you find a skin you like, follow the site's instructions to view the HTML code for it. Then copy that code, and follow these steps to apply it to your MySpace profile page:
    1. Log into MySpace.
    2. Click on Profile in the toolbar above your photo.
    3. Select Edit Profile from the drop-down menu.
    4. Paste the code into the About Me section.
    5. If you want to preview, click on Preview Profile.
    6. To finalize, click on Save Changes.

  • Sites to Try

  • Conclusion

    • Once you go through the process once or twice, you should find that it's pretty simple to add skins to your MySpace profile. Remember, your page is a reflection of yourself, and it's best to choose themes that give people an idea of your personality. Once you choose a skin, you aren't stuck with it; just repeat the above steps to change it whenever you choose. You can be as much of a chameleon as you want!
