1. Layout Generator - First thing you want to do is build your profile. With the layout generator you can add background colors, background images, background music, font styles, font colors, and more. Click here to use the layout generator.
a) How to apply a layout to your Myspace (applys for both the layout generator coding and premade layouts):

4. Click Edit Profile.
5. Paste the coding in the About Me section text area.
6. Save your changes.
2. Formatting Text - Add effects to your text to make it cooler looking.
a) Breaking Spaces - To create a new line of text put <br> in between your text or images. This will create the effect of an enter using the enter key.
Example: Hello! <br> How are you?
Will look like this:
Hello!
How are you?
You can also use paragraph tags <p> to create the effect of a new paragraph (two spaces).
Example: Hello! <p> How are you?
Will look like this:
Hello!How are you?
b) 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</u>
Strike Through = <s>Text You Want to Strike Through</s>c) Adding Colors - Make your text colorful!
Red = <font color="red">Text You Want Red</font>
Green = <font color="green">Text You Want Green</font>
Blue = <font color="blue">Text Your Want Blue</font>
