MySpace Layouts

There are three main factors to consider while working on your own MySpace layout – cursor or scrollbar property, text property, and background property. For selecting your MySpace background, you need to decide on the background image, color, border thickness and position. Selecting the text, so that it is easily readable, will be easier once the background color is fixed. Also, for getting the perfect MySpace layout, one needs to decide on the color of the scrollbar, arrow, face color and highlighting.

However, while working on achieving the perfect MySpace layout, there are a few things that you must consider in order to achieve the desired effect. Hitting on the return key in an attempt to create paragraphs will not work in MySpace. To make the content of your layout more attractive and readable, you need to break it into several small paragraphs through the use of three characters – <p>

A classy and professional MySpace page requires careful selection of layout to make the text readable – it means that your text color should be dark against a light background or vice versa. You can add spice to your MySpace layout by placing graphics directly in the profile page. For doing so, you need to upload images in free image hosts, copy the URL of the image, and insert the code in “Edit Profile” area.

Avoid creating MySpace layouts that becomes so wide that it comes with a horizontal scrollbar. In this respect, there are two things you need to cater to – avoid inserting graphics, the width of which exceeds 400 pixels, and also prevent your friends from doing so by disabling HTML in the Comments section. 

There are a number of sites that offers free layout codes to be inserted in MySpace to create your personalized layout. But, most of them contain hidden links for two reasons – free advertisement of the site, and increasing Page Rank of the website in Google through these backlinks. In order to stay away from these hidden links, opt for a layout that provides little menu bar modifications and allows you to hack your own profile, and edits aspects of your profile one at a time.

As discussed above, another means of making your MySpace profile an attractive and interactive one is through graphics and glitter texts. By checking the upcoming birthdays of your friends, you can not only post a cute message for your birthday friend, but can also do it in style through appropriate graphics and glitter texts. Even when you don’t feel like placing comments, just a “Hello” graphic can keep you connected with your friends. But make sure that you do not select oversized graphics that requires a lot of time to open and gets downloaded slowly. GIF graphics take time to download due to their heavy size. Flash graphics requires permission from the recipient to add it; thus the surprise element gets lost. Thus, it is best to opt for JPG graphics, one that best suits the mood.

While working on your MySpace layout, you also need to attach importance to the contact tables. You will find hundreds of contact tables, of various requirements and categories, ready for your use. Select one that satisfies your particular requirement and theme. These contact tables are an essential element in your MySpace profile as it allows others to know how to invite you in their group, send messages, and if required, block a person.

Thus, while working on your MySpace profile, make sure you get the perfect layout that not only matches your requirements, but also your personality. Make due use of glitter texts to attract the attention of viewers and also to make the layout all the more appealing. Use proper sized graphics to convey the right message and place contact tables to increase your circle of friends. After all, the idea is to create a MySpace profile that is color-coordinated, user-friendly, and effective at getting the required message across.
