MySpace Photo Effects and Codes
Customizing your MySpace profile with photo effects and HTML coding makes it possible to get away from the standard look that is available and create a more attractive layout. When implementing effects, you are somewhat limited in what can be done on MySpace, but options are available.

Coding With HTML
-
When you set up a MySpace profile, you can enter personal information, such as your interests and favorite movies, TV shows and books, so that others can find out more about you. By entering HTML code into these areas of your profile, you can change the way the text is displayed and alter the background of your profile.
Photo Effects
-
One of the advantages of a MySpace profile is that it allows you to share photographs with your friends. MySpace does not offer the capability to edit photos once you upload them, but you can give your photos effects before uploading. A number of photo editors are available online to help with editing MySpace pictures, such as Gimp, Picnik and Picasa. You will need to upload your photo to the editor, make the necessary edits and then save the files back on your computer before uploading to MySpace.

Limitations
-
Although MySpace does give you the option to enter HTML codes into your profile, you cannot use any HTML codes that you want. MySpace has limitations on the types of HTML you can include. Two examples of HTML tags that are prohibited by MySpace are the <script> and <frame> tags. You can customize your profile, but you have to stay within the framework that MySpace has set up.
Considerations
-
When customizing the look of your profile with photo effects and MySpace codes, you may want to avoid putting too much in your profile. Some MySpace profiles load slowly when they are accessed because of the vast amount of content that the user has included. Try to keep the design simple and clean with a maximum of one or two music files, a simple HTML layout and no more than four photos. This will help the load time and make viewing more enjoyable for those checking out your profile.
