How to Post a Last.fm Album Quilt to a MySpace Profile

Both Last.fm and MySpace are social networking sites with an emphasis on music and musical tastes. For users of both sites, a Last.fm album quilt displaying a user’s most listened albums can be posted to her MySpace profile as a cute way to display one’s favorite, or most listened-to albums.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.

2. Go to www.last.fm and log into your Last.fm profile.

3. Scroll to the very bottom of the page.

10. Choose “Edit Profile” from the “Profile” menu at the top of your MySpace profile.

13. Visit your MySpace profile. Your Last.fm album quilt should now be displayed on your profile!

Tips & Warnings
