another myspace qquestion


Question Posted Sunday February 24 2008, 10:50 am

my friend redid my myspace a while back, and i wanted to change it. ihave a bunch of layout sites and stuff, but she just took the type of layout we wanted, no matter the design...and put in her own design. she also did that with the comment box so it looks really cool. but i've had it for a while and i want to change it. she won't tell me how to do it, and i've gone through the codes (we used photobucket btw if that matters) i just can't figure it out. Do you guys have any idea how to do this? also, in my heroes section, i have a picture but it is too large, how should i shrink it down to fit?

you don't have to start all over, using your own design on any layout is actually really easy and I'm sure you can do it!

look through the code, there will be something that says backround-image:url (the URL of the backround design you want goes here, in between the parenthesis)

If you use photobucket, you know under the picture it has the codes for HTML IMG and URL, you MUST use the URL for this.

and if the picture is too large, I suggest you download IrfanView. Go to download.com and in the search engine type in IrfanView. Download the math, it should be one of the first few results. With this you can resize your pictures to fit any size. I would choose IrfanView over any other photo editing tool because it is the easiest and Myspace endorses it.

good luck and drop a question in my inbox if you need any more help =]

editing layouts, especially myspace layouts, is pretty difficult. Your best bet is just to delete it all and start over.

as for the picture, find the code for it, it should look like <*img src=someurl*> (except without the stars). after the url, before the >, put height=200 width=150

then, if that size is bad, mess with the numbers a bit.

here is mroe info on the img tag
