Myspace Layouts Computer Software Web Tips Guide
Myspace Layouts Online Reflect Your Personality
By Christine Wales
Looking for the best selection in Myspace layouts? It can be
a little overwhelming to sort through the hundreds of sites out
there. A few popular sites are www.pimp-my-profile.com,
www.mywackospace.com,
www.backgroundstation.com
and www.musictweak.com!
At some of these sites, you can even make your very own custom
profile if the others aren’t quite what you’re looking for. You’ll
also have the option of sharing your work with others. Whether
you’re an art student or an amateur, picking the colors, fonts
and Myspace contact tables will be a fun way to spend the afternoon!
The Best Place For Layouts
First, you’ll need to find the best place for layouts. At www.backgroundstation.com,
you can easily create your own custom Myspace layout. First, choose
a theme, for example: "Dark," "Star," "Cute,"
"White Dust," "Vintage," "Postal"
or "Grunge," to name a few. Next, select an image for
your background.
You can search Yahoo, Google, Flickr or add your own from your
computer! Lastly, you can tweak options, like transparency, flip
the columns or change the background alignment. Similarly, www.pimp-my-profile.com
allows you to make your own layout, although this Myspace editor
is a bit more advanced, allowing you options like custom Myspace
contact tables, text/heading, scrollbars, cursors and the ability
to hide your friends or even create a custom slideshow using "Rock
You!"
Alternating Between Different Layouts
Next, you’ll have to ask yourself, "Am I going to alternate
between several different Myspace layouts to reflect my mood,
or choose one that will endure? If you’re going on vacation to
Hawaii, then you might want to pick a Hawaiian sunset for a few
weeks.
If you just got a new boyfriend, you might want a "love
themed" layout. You can even choose fun holiday layouts or
a birthday Myspace layout. Yet if you’re going for the long haul,
it’s usually recommended that you find something a little easier
on the eyes. Nature scenes, artistic designs and solid colors
are all safe bets.
Personalizing Your Site
A common problem with Myspace layouts is that many of them are
so wild, colorful and crazy that your friends can’t see what’s
going on. Sometimes, the contact table buttons don’t align properly
with the functional buttons, so it might take a little bit of
tinkering to get your design to work out right.
The easiest way to personalize your site is to review your options
and go to a site like www.pimpmyprofile.com
or www.glitter-graphics.com
and simply take one of their pre-made layouts for free. If you
find you’re getting out of control, then reassess what’s
really important to you.
Generally, your best bet is to find a calmer, pleasing-to-the-eye
layout and instead embellish more creatively with slideshows,
polls, YouTube videos and glitter graphics!

Did You Know This About MySpace?
How do I get friends on MySpace?
Once you have your profile created you can
add friends a few different ways. The easiest way is if your friends
already have an account of their own. Then you simply type in
their username, email address or name and you can add them to
your friend’s list.
If your personal friends do not have an
account you can also send them an email from your account requesting
that they join MySpace. The second way to get friends is by joining
topic groups. You can find a topic group that you are interested
in and simply request that people add you as a friend.
Once you have your profile on a while
you will start getting friend requests from other’s that are browsing
through the site. They may have many similarities and want to
get to know you. This is a social networking site after all.
