Myspace Icons Help Make Exciting Pages
By Christine Wales
You might be thinking, "What do I need Myspace icons for?"
There are many ways you can use Myspace graphics. When Myspace
first came out, most people assumed there were designated areas
where you could type in your interests, such as favorite movies,
favorite music, heroes, etc.
Yet Myspace creators knew that their audience was comprised of
people who fancied themselves individuals, who wanted to not only
invent themselves, but to reinvent themselves time and time again.
Finding Funny Videos And Avatars For Your Pages
Therefore, they enabled HTML coding, which created the market
for sites like www.glitter-graphics.com
and www.pimp-my-profile.com,
where people could find funny videos and avatars or appropriate
decorations for their pages. Some people even use these icons
as greeting cards to post on their friends’ pages.
Some people embed the Myspace codes into their profiles to embellish
the sections with Myspace images, rather than plain text. For
example, if you love Family Guy, instead of just writing "Family
Guy" in the "Favorite TV Shows" section, you can
go to www.myspacenow.com
and snag the code for a moving animation of Peter Griffin grabbing
onto his knee in pain.
Finding Myspace Icons Online
Similarly, if you have a favorite celebrity, like Marilyn Monroe,
Paris Hilton, Gwen Stefani or Avril Lavigne, you can snag their
images from www.123icons.com
and post them under the "Who I’d Like To Meet" or the
"Heroes" section of your profile.
For your music section, get an animation of Greenday at www.wondericons.com
or a dancing Jennifer Lopez music video at www.123icons.com.
At www.myspacenow.com
you can get a nationality Myspace icon for your "General"
section or you can get Emo icons from www.mywackospace.com
for the "About Me" section.
Locating Animated Icons
Are you the sort of person who’s got a joke for everything? Do
you thrive on making others laugh and finding some of the most
random things ever? Then you’re probably a Myspace icons type
of person. At www.getmyspaceicons.com,
you can get an animation of a stick figure falling down a flight
of stairs with the caption "Do Not Fall Down Stairs,"
an animated Peter Griffin falling down the stairs, or a flashing
sign that says "My knight in shining armor turned out to
be a loser in aluminum foil."
At www.123icons.com,
you might find a funny phrase to share with your friends, like
"A tavern is a place where madness is sold by the bottle,"
or "Be nice to your kids, they’ll choose your nursing home."
The website, www.wondericons.com
has a better selection of funny icons, like a dolphin and a cow
leaping out of the water side-by-side, an animation of a beer-drinking
cat holding a remote, an animation of Bill Clinton’s nose growing
like Pinnochio’s or Conan O’Brien dancing.
Making Your Pages Quick And Easy To Load
It can be difficult to choose whether you want a flashy Myspace
layout or a more subtle background and a plethora of carefully
selected Myspace icons. You won’t want to overload your page with
stuff or it’ll take a long time to load and it will actually work
against you because your friends won’t have the patience to wait
around.
A common mistake when pimping Myspace out is to create a bad
Myspace contact table, where the words don’t line up with the
functional buttons. So if someone tries to click "Message,"
they end up actually clicking "IM." It may take a few
hours to find all the decorations and make sure everything works
properly, but you can look upon your profile with pride once it
is all finished.

Did You Know This About MySpace?
How do you create those unique layouts and backgrounds on MySpace?
People who have HTML experience can easily
create their own unique layouts and backgrounds. But for those
that are not so much into computer languages and programming you
can always find generators online.
These generators have pages and pages of
backgrounds and such stored on the website. You simply find the
layout and background you want, copy the code given and then paste
it into one of your profile sections. After you save the changes
you can view your new profile.
If you do not know where to search for
one of these generators you can always use Google. There are hundreds
of results that will come up and you can pick and choose from
which ones work for you.
