Exclamation How Do You Customize Your Myspace Page

So I have had an account with myspace for awhile to check out my friends, but hadn't actually set it up and decorated it. I was just wondering how you one downloads pics, and gets those polls and the background and stuff. All help would be great.

Much Love,
Ethan

Well...on other people's pages, there is usually a link to where they got the setup. Like "This layout was designed at..." etc... Usually what happens is people copy and paste a code from the layout website to where they edit their profile.

Or just type in MySpace Layout in google - that gives you lots of pages that offer easy MySpace makeover pages...

The operative word is easy - if I can do it - anyone can...good luck.

Okay - just read around the site! They all say where to past the code. If you can't be bothered then it's simple - paste it into the "about me" section of your profile in edit mode.

Haha, so am I!

What you usually do is copy the code that was generated when you picked the layout you wanted. Then you paste it in "About Me" section under Edit Profile. I think that's how most people do it.

I maintain that if I can do it anyone can

The sites I used to customize really spelled it all out for me....if y'all are using sites that don't...well that's odd.

Of course I deleted the ad code for the site - so I can't even tell you which one I used anymore.

Which reminds me - if you guys want to know how to erase the ad that usually comes with your layout - that's pretty easy too....so you don't have a huge "PIMP YOUR PAGE" ad under "about me"....

I took the easy way out on mine. A friend of mine who had been using MySpace for awhile saw that I had gotten a profile but hadn't customized it. She yelled at me to come over to her house to fix the problem and, with some input from me, she designed it for me.

Once you get the basic layout done, you can customize it further with just a little basic html.

Do any of you all remember where you all got your layouts, or have any suggestions on good ones??? Are there any Stevie/FM layouts???

Much Love and thanks for all the help, you all are too kind,
Ethan

Well I don't - seriously though - just go to google and type in MySpace layout - and you'll get a plethora of choices - all that offer layouts.

Or just troll around MySpace - most customized pages say something like "I got my layout at Pimppage" or something....then click the link and it'll take you there.

why don't you find someone who has a poll on his/her myspace and ask that person?
