How to Use Pre-made MySpace Layouts for Your Profile Page

When it comes to customizing your MySpace profile, you can go with the default layout or you can choose to use pre-made MySpace layouts, which are available at a number of different websites. Knowing exactly how to place the pre-made MySpace layouts can be tricky and very frustrating so let us make an effort to simplify it.

First you need to begin by visiting the MySpace login page and from there logging in to your profile. Once you have gotten yourself logged in, go ahead and click on the button labeled “Home.” By now you should be looking at your MySpace Profile and it should provide you with a number of different options such as Edit Profile, Safe Mode, Upload/ Change Photos, Account Settings, Edit Comments, Manage Calendar, Manage Blog Manage Address Book and under your photo it should read view My: Profile l Blog. What you will need to do is click on the first option, the link for “Edit Profile.” It should easily be displayed in the upper left side of the profile page.

Once you have reached the “Edit Profile” page, you will be broken to a set of tabs running horizontal across the page, which can only be referred to as the MySpace dashboard. These tabs will say things such as Interests & Personality, Background & Lifestyle, School, Companies, Networking, Home and Basic Info. The one you need to click on for pre-made MySpace layouts is Interests & Personality. This should automatically come up for you.

You are getting closer to completion so be glad that you made it to this step. In the Interests & Personality section of the profile you will need to scroll down the length of the page until you come to a section that is labeled “About Me.” You should find this section easily under the space marked Headline. Underneath the “About Me” spot, click on Edit.

Now you have come to the stage where you can position your pre-made MySpace layouts to your satisfaction. The Edit button should take you to the section set aside for editing the “About Me” area. It is here that you will want to place the code for the pre-made MySpace layouts of your choice. Copy and paste the code from the layout and carefully put it in the box labeled “About Me.” You may have to do this once or twice, as it can sometimes be confusing for individuals who are not accustomed to working with pre-made layouts.

Once the code for the pre-made layout is placed where it should be (in the “About Me” box) now it is time to preview your handiwork by clicking on the button marked “Preview”. The preview will show you what your finished product will look like. This is, it goes without saying, what other people will see as well. Make sure that this is what you want. Read everything over to check for any mistakes and then double check your work. If there is a problem then click Edit and redo whatever is wrong. However if you like what you see then click on Submit and what you see in front of you will be what you get.

After this stage in the game you will then be taken back to the dashboard for your MySpace profile and from there you can click on the link for View Profile and get an up close and personal look at what other people visiting your profile will be in for. Hopefully you will be happy with your pre-made MySpace layout because it is too late to change it now.
