Find Facebook Layouts

It's tougher to pimp your Facebook profile than it is with Myspace, but with a small Facebook application called PageRage, you can find cool Facebook layouts and make your Facebook profile stand out from the crowd. Here's how to do it...

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A facebook profile.
  • Firefox 3.0 or IE 7/8 browser.
  1. Step 1

    Go to PageRage at http://www.pagerage.com and install Yontoo Layers. This is a browser plug-in for Firefox 3 or Internet Explorer 7 or 8. Yontoo Layers must be installed to your browser in order for the layouts to work.

    Note: You have to click the button that says “get plug-in” on the redirected page. It's roughly 24kb and installs instantly.

  2. Step 2

    Follow the installation instructions. You may need to click “allow” in order for the application to install, and you may need to restart your browser after the installation.

  3. Step 3

    You're ready to start with facebook layouts! Easy, right? In a separate tab, go log in to your Facebook account.

  4. Step 4

    Now, go back to the PageRage tab (with your facebook still open) and browse through the different themes available (there are 600 at the time of this writing). You can find them on the left of the screen, under “layouts.” Choose the one you like. Cute, dark, emo, love, nature, whatever thrills you.

  5. Step 5

    Click “select” under the layout of your choice. You will get the following message: “Allowing PageRage Super Profile access will let it pull your profile information, photos, your friends' info, and other content that it requires to work.” Click “allow.”

  6. Step 6

    It will process the request in a couple of seconds, and bam – the facebook layout is applied. Refresh you page and check it out.

  7. Step 7

    Now, go and tell your friends. They will need to install the app too in order to see the changes.

Tips & Warnings
  • Yontoo Layers must be installed to your browser in order for the layouts to work. This means your friends must also go download the plug-in in order to see your new page.
  • At the time of this writing, Yontoo Layers currently does not support Firefox 2.0, IE6, Safari, Chrome, Opera, MSN, or AOL. Check for updates in case this has changed.
