Introduction
- Sharing photos on your MySpace account is a great way to let your friends and family know what you've been up to. It also personalizes your account, so others can get to know you a little better.
Step 1: Logging Into Your MySpace Account
(Creative Commons photo by jimwhimpey)Before you can start adding new photos to your MySpace page, you will need to log in to your free MySpace account. In order to do this, you must enter your name and password into the main page: http://www.myspace.com
NOTE: Be careful. Phishers will often send you phony links to MySpace to try and steal your password and info so they can hack into your account. Never click on a MySpace link you've gotten in the mail, and only enter in your information if the page you are on is the official MySpace page.
Step 2: Navigating Your MySpace Page
- Once you are logged in, you can navigate your MySpace page via the toolbar at the top, or through the prompts beside your welcome photo.
- Click on "Profile"
- Choose "My Photos"
- To access your options, pick "Edit Photos."
- "Upload Photos" will allow you to upload new photos to your profile.
Step 3: Uploading Photos to Your MySpace Page
- After you click on "Upload Photos," you should come to a form that asks you to browse the folders on your computer.
- Checkmark the boxes next to the photos you want to include.
- Click next.
- Choose the photo album you want to include them in, or create a new one.
- Download the photos.
Step 4: Labeling and Tagging Your MySpace Photos
- After your photos have finished downloading, you will be asked to label and tag them. Labeling is a great way to let people know what is going on in your photo, while tagging will show them anyone else who might be in the photo with you.
Step 5: MySpace Photos Terms of Service
- As with most sites, MySpace has specific requirements for photos, so be sure you follow them. Photos must:
- Not contain nudity, violent imagery or other material that could be deemed offensive.
- You may not post copyrighted imagery on your MySpace photo album.
- Photos have to be less than 5MB
- Can only be formatted as:
- .jpg

- NOTE: Refusing to adhere to MySpace's photo requirements could result in the deletion or suspension of your account.
Conclusion
Uploading photos to MySpace is relatively simple. You need to login to your MySpace page, and choose the option to edit photos through your profile.

You can share photos from your MySpace page with friends and family, create a photo slide show, and even post photos on your blog, using the special code provided beside the page.
