"Hi, I'm Jason Cachmark from MySpace for Musicians. I'm going to show you how to customize your MySpace page layout. So, it's very simple to come up with a cool looking layout that, you know, works with you. So, a few different ways to do this. Way number one is to click edit profile from your home page, once you're logged in. You're going to click on profile themes, and what that's going to do is take you to a screen where it shows your profile on the right, and then on the left, there's some different options. So, you can kind of use the MySpace profile out of there as much or as low as you like. There's already themes already made or maybe you want to, you know, choose your own colors or something. So, in this case, let's hit edit theme and it starts with background. Okay, you can see that it loaded a page, you can see that it loaded your page on the right, and then it has different options on the left. In the MySpace profile editor, you can use as much or as little that you want to. It already has themes made, but maybe you want to choose your own colors. So, let's do that. You want to click edit, theme and it's going to start with the background color. Let's pick a nice background color, and we'll go with this blue. Now, you can see that it made those changes automatically on the right. So, this is nice because then, you know, you can see your profile. Now, what you want to do is pick some of the different options. Let's hit modules, and this could change the different colors of the boxes. Now, let's pick green, okay. There is the green. Now, if you want to add an image you can. Maybe you have an image stored on photo bucket or another website. You can click add image, and then you can choose the image that you'd like to load in for the different, you know, boxes or the background whatever you want. In this case we'll just leave it as a color, and we're going to go to the next one. And let's just adjust the size on the images, and what that basically does is this is changing. If you look over here all these images, right here, that are linked to your friends, your profile photo, even your friends pictures and your comments, that's changing the settings for all those. And, let's make the color. I'll just go with this red color so we can see what we're doing. Okay, done with that part. Let's go on to text, and you know, it starts off with the text being black, but maybe you don't want black text. Again, we're going to choose the color, and let's make this; let's do it a yellowish, yellowish-green. Wait a second, and that's going to take effect. Okay, now our text is all yellow. So, now we're getting somewhere. Now, you can see that the page looks much different than the standard MySpace page. So, I'm Jason Cachmark from MySpace Musicians. Thank you."
