How to Use HTML Codes on MySpace Comments

HTML (or Hypertext Markup Language) is a programming language for websites. You can use simple HTML codes to pep up your MySpace comments and other things, like your blogs and bulletins.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Learn a basic HTML command format. For most codes you'll want to use on MySpace, all you need to remember is "<></>" (quotation marks are not part of the code). These are the bookends of the command, placed at either end of the text you want to manipulate.

2. To create text in italics, type <i>. Then enter your text. When finished, type </i>. When you view the comment, this text will appear in italics.

3. To create bold text, type <b>. Enter your text, and finish with </b>.

4. Type <big></big> as bookends on your text to make it larger, or <u></u> to make it underlined.

5. Paste HTML from other sites. For instance, to add a YouTube video to your comment, highlight and copy the text next to the video that reads "Embed," and paste it into your comment. You don't need to do anything else with this HTML coding. Your video will simply appear after you have submitted it.

Tips & Warnings

• Use these steps to personalize your MySpace blog and bulletins. They can also be used anywhere else you can input HTML.
• Remember that some MySpace users do not allow HTML in their comments; if you input HTML into a comment on one of these users' pages, it will appear as code instead of as desired. If you want HTML to appear in comments on your page, make sure that you do not have it blocked.
• Don't forget the forward slash in the second half of the command, as leaving it out will cause the command not to terminate.
