MySpace is a social networking site where users can connect with friends, both old and new. You can use your MySpace profile to tell the world who you are and who you would like to meet. If you want to add more personality to your page, you can use HTML and CSS to add new backgrounds and change the layout and colors of your profile page. If you're tired of the basic black color of your display name, you can change it by inserting a few lines of code into your profile.

Difficulty: Easy
