How to Edit Your MySpace Background

There are several ways to edit and customize your MySpace Background, just as there are many ways to build a website: You can learn straight code (specifically CSS), or you can use an editor. Since HTML and CSS can be a little confusing, an editor (also referred to as a generator) can help you create the code you need to personalize your MySpace profile. Here's how to use both.

Basic

1. Find an editor or generator. Go to a search engine and type in any of the following phrases:
2. Choose your colors, layout, font, and whatever else you want to customize.
3. Preview your choices to make sure they're what you want.
4. Generate the code.
5. Copy and paste the code into the "About me" section of your MySpace profile.
6. Press the "Save All Changes" button to see the changes go into effect (the Preview button will not reflect background customization).

Advanced

1. Edit the "About Me" section of your profile.
2. Insert the following code, which is essential in order for your custom background to show up. See the Tips for an alternative code.
   
   <style type="text/css">
   table, td {
   background-color:transparent;
   border:none;
   border-width:0;}
   </style>
   
3. Customize the background:
   
   
   • Change the color of your background by inserting the following code right before the </style> tag. Replace color_code with a 6-character HEX code, but do not insert the # sign. You can find HEX color codes through any search engine.
     
     body{background-color: color_code;}
     
   • Make a tiled picture as your background by inserting the following code instead (you can find the URL of an image by right-clicking, choosing "Properties" and looking for the "Location"--see Warnings below):
     
     body{background-image:url("BACKGROUND URL HERE");
     background-attachment:fixed;}
     
   • Make a centered picture as your background by inserting the following code instead:
     
     body{background-image:url("BACKGROUND URL HERE");
     background-attachment:fixed;
     background-repeat:no-repeat;
     background-position:center,center;}
     
     
     • To change the location of the image on the page, replace the green text by experimenting with combinations of the "top" "center" or "bottom" as the first word and "left" "center" or "right" as the second word, with the two words separated by a comma. For example, replacing the green text with center,right will put your image on the right side of the profile, centered vertically.
       
     • To use one of your MySpace pictures, go to view that picture and then right click and choose "Properties." There will be a descriptor that says "Location:" followed by a URL. That is the URL where your image is stored and should be used to replace BACKGROUND URL HERE in the code.
4. Press the "Save All Changes" button to see the changes go into effect (the Preview button will not reflect background customization).
