Introduction
- MySpace allows you to keep track of your friends, meet new people and show off your visual style. By customizing your profile page, you get to alter your personal theme from MySpace's default blue background to an image of your choice. And if you want to get really creative, you can edit colors, change layout positions and add your own images.
Step 1: Change Your Theme
- The following steps will get you to the MySpace Profile page:
- Log into MySpace using your User ID and Password.
- On the home page, you will find a "Profile" tab in the upper navigation bar. Mouse over it and choose "Customize Profile" from the drop-down menu.
- Click "Select Theme"
- Preview different themes to see how they look. (MySpace offers over 100 theme options, divided into several categories.) If you want to use MySpace's default blue theme, select "No Theme."
Step 2: Change Layout Positions
- Under the "Select Theme" link, there is a "Change Layout" option, which will allow you to alter the proportions of your home page. You can alter the page width, divide/rearrange the sections and choose whether or not you want the layout to scroll or simply appear once.
Step 3: Make Advanced Edits
- With the "Advanced Edits" option, you can select a new background. The background can be either a specific color or a photograph. The colors are listed in a drop-down menu, and the photos can be inserted by typing in the URL for a picture.
- You can use a photo from your MySpace profile, a Photobucket account or another site like Flickr. If you are using a photo, make sure you aren't violating anyone else's copyright protections.
Step 4: Edit With CSS
- If you want to get really advanced, you can use CSS, a coding language that is used on web pages, to create a completely unique profile page.
Step 5: Save and Publish
- Once you're happy with what you see, click "Reset Style," then "Publish." You're all set!
Conclusion
- Creating MySpace layouts can be as simple or as advanced as you want it to be. The advantage of having over 100 accessible background options makes it easy for MySpace newbies to get a start on making their home page personal without the hassle of finding non-copyrighted content or learning how to use CSS. MySpace also allows highly skilled users to work their magic using tech savvy. Either way, it's a great application that's simple, unique and a lot of fun.
