Help for using Backgrounds and Graphics
in your MySpace® Page
How do I change the background on my MySpace Profile?
Changing the background of your MySpace® profile is a simple process. Simply copy and paste the code listed below the various
backgrounds that we offer here on our backgrounds page into the top of the
"About Me" section of your profile on MySpace®.
Be sure that this background code replaces any background code you already may have in your 'about me' section. This code can work anywhere in the 'about me' section, but [body] style codes usually go at the very top, since this is one of the first things the browser loads. If you have a different background image you want to use, simply paste the URL of the image into the parenthesis, replacing the current image URL. Example: background-image:url(http://www.imagelocation.com/image.gif);.
Some extra things to try to give your MySpace® page an even more unique look:
background-attachment (options: fixed, scroll, inherit).
This will control how your background image behaves when scrolling to different areas of the page. Fixed will keep the background in one place, while text, pictures, etc scroll over the top of it. Scroll means the background will move with the page as it scrolls up or down.
background-color (options: any hexadecimal color code, i.e. #003366).
Try using a solid color that matches or compliments your background image. Works best when background image is not tiled; can give you page a unique look!
background-position (options: top, bottom, center, left, right, inherit).
Controls the positioning of your background image. The default location of a background image is the top left corner of the page; you can use these modifiers to change where the image will be placed.
background-repeat (options: repeat, no-repeat, repeat-x, repeat-y, inherit).
This property controls how your background image is tiled on the page. Repeat will tile the image in all directions; no-repeat places the image only once (best used with large images); repeat-x will tile the image horizontally; and repeat-y will tile the image vertically. Try using this in conjunction with background-position, and you can tile your background image down the center of your profile, for example.
Remember, these are all CSS styles! That means that they need to follow the CSS formatting standards so browsers will render them properly. You can view more information on this here.
