It seems like everybody has a MySpace account these days. It's a fun way to keep in touch with old friends and make new ones. If you're not satisfied with the run-of-the-mill layouts, try creating one from scratch. Creating your own MySpace layout is not as hard as you think.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • MySpace account
  1. Step 1

    Sign up for a MySpace account. Go to the MySpace homepage and create an account by typing in a valid email address and a password. MySpace requires the password to have at least one number in it.

  2. Step 2

    Go to the Pimp My Profile website to start creating a one-of-a-kind MySpace layout. Press "Start."

  3. Step 3

    Insert the URL of a picture of the desired background picture. This can be a personal favorite photo, or you can find lots of photos at the Photobucket website. Position the picture in the desired way. When finished, click "Next."

  4. Step 4

    Decide if you want simple or advanced text mode. Choose the desired colors, font, size and style for the text. When you finish, click "Next."

  5. Step 5

    Choose the appearance of the scrollbars for the layout. Select the colors for the arrows and choose highlight and shadow colors. After these have been chosen, click "Next."

  6. Step 6

    Adjust other aspects of the layout such as the page cursor, friends, image filter and extended network. When this is just right, click "Next."

  7. Step 7

    Look through pre-made contact tables, or make a custom one. Also create a network banner and an online icon URL. Click "Next" to create a slideshow or "Finish" to preview, share, save or generate the custom layout.

Tips & Warnings
  • If the layout preview isn't showing up, hold down the "Ctrl" key while clicking preview.
  • Don't use explicit or obscene pictures in the layout. Otherwise, MySpace will delete the account.
