Make Your Own Myspace Layout
If you are like me and the millions of new registered MySpace users who want to make your own myspace layout out there each month (6,379,000 in Sept. 2007 according to Nielsen//NetRatings - but whos counting!) you log into your "profile" for the first time only to find a big ugly gray mess. Thats right exactly like Facebook looks - gray and blaaaaaah.
The next thing to do is go to a site for free myspace layouts and start browsing. Once you find a layout you like simply click "preview" to view it at full size and then click "download" to go and get the actual code that you will paste into the "about me" section of your profile. Easy enough.
But and this is a big BUT, what happens when you can't find the myspace background you want? Do you email the Myspace Layout maker on the site and beg and plead? I do personally know of a Myspace Layout creator who does take requests (Ted the intern) but he is always slammed with an endless stack of requests. It is not unusual for a layout request to take 3 months to get posted up on their site.
Not gonna happen right? For example if you have a layout in mind, say the original Mickey Mouse or some rare anime show that you are into, or heck a picture of you and your friends as the Myspace Background - what are the odds that you will find that layout? Pretty Slim eh?
Here is a site that will solve all your layout problems forever :) you can make your own MySpace Layout! Just locate the MySpace Background Generator on the site - it rules, its easy to customize with different options and you you can auto-post directly to your account!!!

If anyone can teach those myspace folks a thing or two about a creating an aesthetically pleasing website, it's good for everyone. I think myspace has the Guinness record for the ugliest pages of any site on the planet. Posted August 29, 2008 |
