I'm going to show you how to change the standard cursor that we all know to something that looks a little bit nicer. Finding a MySpace cursor for your page is as simple as going to Google and searching MySpace cursors. As you can see, we've typed it in. Let's do a Google search, and pick one of these pages. Now, this page, for instance, usually, they divide them up into categories, so let's pick the category. We'll pick an arrow cursor and not go too crazy. And basically, it has the boxes for the code, so we're going to copy that. Hold on, I got to redo that. Because I got to use Safari, so it pops up the thing. Finding a cursor for your page is very simple. There's a lot of websites out there that already have a wide variety of cursors that you could select from that are free. Can't go wrong with that. So we're going to type in MySpace cursors, and you can see, we've got a lot of results, so let's just go ahead and pick one. All right. Now, most of these websites will divide the cursors up into categories if they have a lot, so just pick a category that you like. And we're going to pick cartoon cursors in this case. And now, it has all the different ones. And now, with this site, when you mouse over it, it actually shows you the cursor. Other websites, you know, they might have it a little bit different. Maybe you'll see the cursor on the left or right or something. But all of them are going to have a box with code in it, so you want to select the code. Most of them will automatically select when you click in it. And if not, you could just go and click in the box -- right-click, select all. Okay. The code's selected. Now, we're going to right-click and hit copy. And go back to our MySpace page to add the cursor. Now, we're in edit profile mode right here, so from the homepage, just click edit profile. And any one of these boxes...usually, you want to do it in the about box because that's going to be the easiest and less cluttered. Hit paste -- right-click, paste. Puts the code in. You save the changes. Now, something to keep in mind is that not all browsers will actually put the new cursor into effect. So usually Internet Explorer will be the most common one, but just keep that in mind in case it's not working on a couple of your friends' browsers. That is how you add a custom cursor to your MySpace page. I'm Jason Ketchmark from the MySpace 4 Musicians. Have a fun time clicking."
