How Do I Change My Background on MySpace?

MySpace offers you a couple of options for changing your default background: either change your profile background color from the default white, or use a photo as the background. The oldest MySpace version that's required to customize your profile background, is version 2.0 (it became standardized in 2009). If you have a MySpace profile prior to that, update to MySpace 2.0 to customize your profile.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Log in to MySpace. Hover your cursor over "Profile" and click "Customize Profile."

2. Click "Appearance," and then click "Advanced Edit." Select "Background."

3. Click on the arrow next to "Color." This loads the color wheel. Select your color from the wheel, and then click "Publish."

Adding a Photo to Your Background

1. Decide which photo you want to set as your background. If the photo is in one of your MySpace photo albums, visit the album and click on the photo. Double-click on the address bar. Select "Copy" to copy the photo URL. If the photo is on you computer, upload it to MySpace or to a photo-sharing site, such as Flickr. Click on the uploaded photo and copy the URL.

2. Log in to MySpace. Hover your cursor over "Profile" and select "Customize Profile." Click "Appearance," then "Advanced Edit." Select "Background."

3. Right-click on the "URL" field. Click "Paste" to paste the photo's URL into the box. Click "Position" to adjust the position of the photo. Click "Publish" to publish the changes to your background.
