The social networking elements of MySpace have been matched by the creative tools available to the website's users. The average MySpace member can play her favorite music, show her favorite videos and post her favorite pictures for friends to see. Your use of MySpace wallpaper is only limited by the depth of your imagination, so get those creative juices flowing and see what you come up with to spruce up your page.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Look through multiple websites offering free MySpace wallpaper to find the right design for your page. There are thousands of websites offering free or inexpensive wallpaper covering the full spectrum of topics.
Step2
Eliminate extraneous videos, songs and other visual elements that can adversely influence your wallpaper. Popular backgrounds for MySpace pages feature flashing lights and colors that can cause eyestrain for users. You should limit your page to one video, one song and a few small pictures.
Step3
Copy the hypertext markup language (HTML) from MySpace wallpaper websites to enter into your MySpace page. This code provides the precise design and intricacies of your new background. It is important to copy every part of the HTML code to avoid issues with your MySpace page.
Step4
Open a second browser page to access your MySpace page while keeping the wallpaper website available. Log in to your MySpace page and access the "Edit Profile" section to use your new background.
Step5
Paste the HTML from the MySpace wallpaper website into the "About Me" section of your profile. You should place your cursor at the top of the "About Me" space, press "Enter" several times and right click on the open space to enter the language for background.
Step6
Ask friends in your MySpace network to check your page for any errors caused by your new wallpaper. These friends should help you determine the aesthetic and functional problems that may come from long term wallpaper use.
Step7
Test out the use of animated and interactive wallpaper on your MySpace page to draw in more traffic. There are a number of websites that feature backgrounds with games and interactive tools that are ideal for visitors to your page.

Tips & Warnings

  • Monitor your MySpace wallpaper on a monthly basis to determine the need for updated backgrounds. Your MySpace page may quickly go out of style if you leave up promotional wallpaper for a movie that has been out for a few weeks. You can establish a schedule based on upcoming releases and seasonal holidays to maintain your MySpace page.
