How to Make a Banner in Profile 2.0
Initially, MySpace’s default profiles looked differently than they do today. Now, when you sign up for a MySpace account, you are given the new profile style known as MySpace Profile 2.0, and the old MySpace profile style is now known as MySpace Profile 1.0. The way that you customize the banners on profile 1.0 and 2.0 are different because the banner styles are different. The old banner generators that worked with Profile 1.0 do not work with 2.0, so you if want to make a banner in Profile 2.0, locate the appropriate online generator.
