MySpace Core - Your Source For MySpace Codes, MySpace Hacks & MySpace Tweaks

MySpace Beginners Guide...

Way too many people have come to us and said they are just starting out on MySpace and they are competely lossed. They feel like a fish out of water swimming in a sea of MySpace codes, tweaks, generators, layouts, etc.

Well, you no longer have to worry! This section of MySpace Core is designed just for you. The goal is to get you up and running right away without any of the frustrations that other people have suffered through. (We're such humanitarians!)

1. Signup and create a MySpace account.

   (Ya, you've probably done this already, but we're starting at the beginning!)

2. Let's get you a layout!

   But, wait...what the heck is a layout?
   A layout is really another way of saying the look of your MySpace page. You've probably seen MySpace pages with cool backgrounds, neat color schemes, cool pictures, and other things like that. Those are all part of the layout that person has chosen. There are tons of places on the Internet that have countless layouts for you to choose from. If you visit our directoy you will find some of the sites we recommend that have good quality layout codes. The most important thing is that you pick something you like!

3. It's time to integrate that layout you found...

   a) Copy the html coding provided.
   b) Login to your Myspace account.
   c) Click Home (if you aren't already on that page).
   d) Click Safe Mode (suggested) or Edit Profile.
   e) Click the Edit button below the About Me section (if in safe mode).
       If in edit profile, paste the coding in the About Me section text area.
   f) Save your changes.

4. It's text formatting time!

   Basic text is boreing, so we're going to give you a quick crash course on how to format your text. This isn't an exam, so don't try to memorize everything. It'll always be here for your reference.
   1. Bold, Underline, Italics, Strike Through:
      
      Bold = <b>Text You Want Bolded</b>
      Underline = <u>Text You Want Underlined</u>
      Italics = <i>Text You Want In Italics</i>
      Strike Through = <s>Text You Want to Strike Through</s>
      
   2. Line Breaks:
      
      To create a new line of text put <br> in between your text/images. This will create the same effect as if you clicked enter in a word processor.
      
      Example: Hey Everyone! <br> What's up?
      Will look like this:
      Hey Everyone!
      What's up?
      
      You can also use paragraph tags <p> to create the effect of a new paragraph (two line breaks).
      
      Example: Hey Everyone! <p>What's up</p>?
      Will look like this:
      Hey Everyone!

      What's up?

   3. Modifying Font Size - Make that text BIGGER!:
      
      <font size="1">Text Here</font> = Text Here
      <font size="2">Text Here</font> = Text Here
      <font size="3">Text Here</font> = Text Here
      <font size="4">Text Here</font> = Text Here
      <font size="5">Text Here</font> = Text Here

   4. Adding Colors:
      
      Green = <font color="green">Text You Want Green</font>
      Red = <font color="red">Text You Want Red</font>
      Blue = <font color="blue">Text Your Want Blue</font>
      Other Color = <font color="COLOR YOU WANT HERE">Text You Want Made That Color</font>

   5. Modifying Font Face/Type:
      
      <font face="Verdana">Your Text Here</font> = YourText Here
      <font face="Arial">Your Text Here</font> = Your Text Here
      <font face="Times New Roman">Your Text Here</font> = Your Text Here
      <font face="Courier New"> YourText Here</font> = Your Text Here
      <font face="Georgia">Your Text Here</font> = Your Text Here
      <font face="Tahoma">Your Text Here</font> = Your Text Here
      
      Want to use another font face/type that isn't listed here? <font face="Font Face">Your Text Here</font>
      Replace Font Face with the font face name of your choice.

   6. Align Text on Your Page
      
      <div align="left">Text Here</div>

      <div align="center">Text Here</div>

      <div align="right">Text Here</div>

5. Spice Up Your Page With Images

   Your page can be a little (and by that we mean A LOT!) boring with no images on it. There are several ways you can add images to your page.
   1. Fastest Method (but you'll have LESS control):
      
      - Upload to Tinypic.com
      
   2. Easy Method (but MORE control)
      
      - Go to a site such as PhotoBucket and create an account.
      - Upload Pictures to your PhotoBucket account from your computer.
      - Copy the TAG code and paste it wherever in you want the picture
          to show
      - To add a picture in a friends comments, just paste the code into the comment entry box.
      
   3. Link From Site (the other methods are better!):
      
      - Right click on the picture you want and click properties. Then copy the URL to the picture and add this code into your comment:
      
      <img src="url to picture">

6. There's a whole lot more!

   There are a bunch of different things you can do to your MySpace profile. You can add music, games, polls, videos, custom cursors and more.
