Are you new to MySpace or having problems getting started? Don't know what HTML is or couldn't be bothered learning? Perhaps you've made a start but your profile looks like a bomb has hit it? Keep reading - there's a good chance that you fit into one of these categories:
The Complete MySpace Tard - This person have no idea about how to edit the layout or what HTML is. Someone else opened the browser for you so you could "get onto the internet thingy". You stumbled through the account creation process and experienced a misplaced sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when you uploaded a photo of yourself to your profile.
The MySpace Novice - You've already set up an account and spent a few hours drafting information about you that only registered sex offenders are going to read. You have managed to get a few pictures of yourself online. You have updated your profile layout and posted your "emo" suicide note for all your new 'friends' to read.
The Color-blind who have learnt HTML- You know a little bit about HTML. You have struggled through the horrifying MySpace control panel to do everything listed above. You have created your own layout but for some reason you've chosen eye searing colors and a blinking tiled background which means you have to highlight everything in order to read it.
If this sounds familiar then YOU NEED HELP (or shall I say a little guidance). Follow these simple steps to ensure that your MySpace Profile isn't as embarrassing as your first sexual encounter.
1. Find a good Free Myspace Layout. The good news is 90% of all MySpace Profiles look awful so you can easily stand out in the crowd.
Firstly, the content on your page shouldn't take a backseat to the layout, especially if you want people to be able to read all the stuff that absolutely nobody gives a shit about. You want your friends to be able see the last book you read - you don't want to give them retinal cancer with your flashing purple background. Luckily it is easy to find a nice looking layout - On Profilepitstop.com Free MySpace Layouts, you can even add the code straight to your page so even special people should be able to do it. Find a Profile that you like, enter your login details and hit upload. Easy.
2. Create some nice looking text to welcome your visitors. Nothing says "Hello, look at me I exist" better then some flashy text. With Profilepitstop.com Glitter Text Generator, you can create some unique text to welcome people to your page. Try and use colors that work with your layout and think of something interesting to write. If you can't think of anything, try spelling your own name. Grab the code, add it the top of the About Me Section and click on update all settings.
3. Add something funny so people know how funny you are. A step in creating your profile which is completely optional, but it's a lot of fun. Use Profilepitstop.com Flashpix Generator to make your own text pictures that you can easily add to your profile. There are a few different options to choose from: tattoo your name on a stomach, create your own fortune cookies or put your favorite poo joke on a Mug of Tea. Copy the Code, put it wherever you want to appear on your profile and you're done.
4. Make your own MP3 player. Most Myspace profiles have auto-playing music that inevitably starts by surprise at maximum volume, and it's usually music that you could dump into the "truck drivers in love" genre. The default Myspace player also stinks because you only get to put one track on it. Get your mp3 player from Profilepitstop.com MP3 Players. NOTE: If your taste in music stinks, you should probably skip this section.
There are few different choices - The Tape Player is a popular choice. Creating your own Mix Tape has never been easier. Simply use the search engine to find as many tracks as you like, add them to the list. Give your player a name and then you can add the code automatically to any section of your Myspace Profile. Very cool and it's so simple your pet Labrador could do it.
5. Time to show off. Now that you've got your profile looking the goods, it's time to impress your new friends. The best way to do this is grab some funny pictures and post them as comments on other profiles. It's as simple as grabbing the code, clicking "add comment" and pasting it on your friend's site. I'm not sure why people are hell bent on pasting funny pics but it seems to be the done thing.
Follow these 5 simple steps (in just under an hour) and your Trojan horse should be complete. You can now add and meet new friends from all over the world who will immediately think that you are much cooler than they are.
