How to Add Skins to MySpace

MySpace skins are templates that include images, coding, and any necessary documentation for your page. With MySpace skins, you can create an exciting, unique page without a lot of trouble. If you are skilled with designing Web sites, you may be able to create your own skins. If not, there's no need to suffer with a plain, unadorned MySpace page. Just grab a MySpace skin off the Internet. Follow these steps to find out how to add one to your page.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't have a MySpace account, visit the MySpace Web site and click the "Sign Up" button to begin creating your profile.
• Make sure you copy all of the code for your MySpace skin, exactly as it appears. Omitting even a small portion of the code can prevent the skin from working properly.
• Beware of "phishing" scams. Don't reply to email or pop-up messages asking for personal information, your username, or your password.
