How to Create Custom Contact Tables
MySpace is a popular social networking website that allows users to customize various aspects of their profiles. The contact table is an element located on every profile that provides other users with the option to contact, block or add you, along with five other options. If you want to customize the appearance of the contact table, many websites will help you do so without requiring advanced knowledge of HTML code.

Decide on the background for your contact table. If you use a solid color, enter the hexadecimal code for the background color in the appropriate box, or select a color from the tool that pops up. If you want to use an image, click "Upload" and select the picture you want to use or paste the URL of the image into the box, if applicable.

Select a font color and font face. Choose a font that will show up against the background you selected. Use a contrasting color or a bold font so that users can read the text in your contact table. Some sites also let you select font attributes, such as a drop shadow or outline.
