How to Highlight a Strikeout on Myspace

Modify the text on your profile using HTML.

Many Myspace users customize the text on their profiles by using simple HTML codes. These codes can change the size, color and font of the text, in addition to making it bold, italicized or more. One popular customization is the "strikeout" or "striked-through" text, which has a line in the middle of the text as if someone has crossed it out. You can highlight this text in another color to draw more attention to it or give your profile more personality using the highlight HTML code.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Myspace account and click "Edit Profile."

2. Find the text you want to strike through. If it already has the strikeout, it should have the correct HTML surrounding it: <strike>striked-through text</strike>.

3. Type the HTML code for highlighting around the striked-through code. Type <SPAN style=BACKGROUND-COLOR: color name"> before "<strike>." Type the color you want the highlight to be where it says "color name."

4. Type </SPAN> after "</strike> to close the highlight HTML; otherwise, all the text after the strikeout will be highlighted.

5. Click "Save" at the bottom of the page to save the changes.
