How
Does a MySpace Editor Work?
You've just signed up for your
own space on the world-renowned MySpace.com. Just like all of
the other newbies on the site, your personal profile page looks
relatively bland. You throw up a couple pictures of yourself;
add a few of your favorite things and a mention of who you'd like
to meet most in your life, but your space is still boring. It
just doesn't reflect your individuality at all.
You've seen many other MySpace.com layouts, designs
and backgrounds, but you're still new to the scene and aren't
sure how to do all of that just yet. Maybe you don't have the
time or desire to put dozens of man-hours into it, but want to
"spice up your space". All you really need to make your
dream a reality is a MySpace editor.
A MySpace editor simply shows a default MySpace
profile page instead of the boring, old template page that's automatically
generated by the site. Basically when using a MySpace editor,
you "shop" for different areas of your profile page
like the background (color or background picture), text (font,
size color), any borders between sections, icons, avatars and
so on. It's really quite simple to use, too!
The best place to start is with the background
of your profile page. You can choose a specific color or picture
to place as the general setting to reflect your personality. A
good editor will have a variety to choose from and will allow
you to upload your own images if you so choose. Don't forget about
your contact table! This is a key element on your profile page,
for it lets everyone know how to send you a message, invite you
to join a group, or block you if they feel the need. Again, you'll
be able to choose from solid colors, patterns, designs and images
to make your MySpace profile truly unique.
All you'll need to do for the rest of your layout
is just follow along the directions of the MySpace editor, adding
and/or adjusting borders and such that separate the sections of
your profile page. Change the headings and general text to whatever
font and/or color you'd like. If you're unsure about the finished
project at any time, there should be a "preview" key
for you to click on and see your page how it stands to look thus
far. If you don't like something, all you'll need to do is go
back and change it.
When you're happy with your profile page, click
the "generate" key. The result will be a layout code
filled with HTML and computer languages for you to copy (CTR+C)
and paste (CTR+V) into the appropriate section of the "Edit
My Profile" link in your MySpace account. A quality editor
will walk you through every detailed step for a foolproof way
of customizing your MySpace profile page.
