   -Log into your MySpace Account
   -Go to the light-blue bar and double-click on the word: Music
   -Then select an artist or title of your choice. Click on the far right button that says: Add

   Take Silly Pictures
   
   You can show off personal pics of you on your MySpace area. Take some candid photos of you goofing around with friends and family. If you want to embellish your photos and get fancy, check out www.slide.com. Create an account with Slide. Then simply upload your photos to your Slide account. Lastly, you may create a slide show or a glamorous album of your own pictures. It will definitely add bling to your MySpace page!

Tips & Warnings

• High-speed Internet Access (DSL) is best when downloading MySpace applications, pictures, songs and layouts.
