It is common to stumble upon Myspace pages that are adorned with fantastic images, and backgrounds and themes. These are called "Myspace layouts" and are what make a page, totally unique. With a bit of browsing you can find something quickly, and install it easily. This article will discuss Myspace layouts in greater depth.
Layout codes are usually formed by experienced HTML coders, and are written in the hyper text mark up language. This allows the browser to recognize what it is, and places things accordingly. There are other forms of coding, but you can only use HTML on Myspace. These codes allow you to insert a layout, or images, or special codes for unique widgets and other little virtual gadgets. Layouts are the most popular way to express yourself on Myspace, and let friends know what you are about.
If you want to make your own myspace layout, you need to know a bit of HTML to do so and possibly have Photoshop skills to make your work 100% unique. HTML is easy to learn, and there are plenty of resources available. After you have the HTML down pat, fiddle with coding, and how you would like your page to appear for other users. Be careful though, some layouts are not usable on firefox, IE, and vice versa. Overloading your layout with images will cause users with slow connections to not be able to visit. It's also inconsiderate of others, if you flood your page so that others cannot even view it. After all, what is the point in having a public friend page, if no one can visit?
Don't know how to write HTML, or cant seem to learn it? There are tons of websites dedicated to providing you with pre-designed layouts and templates. There is bound to be at least one thing you like, with categories ranging from retro to video games, and everything in between. Obscure subjects are also available for a layout, you just have to dig around.
A few other resources for finding the perfect myspace layout, is googling what you want, or visiting skem9, whatever life, and some other graphic artists on myspace. Many people are willing to create customized personal layouts at no charge, or for a simple friend add. Designers are usually picky about their work, and request that you do not remove their credit.
