HTML Myspace Tutorial – Learning the basics of HTML
HTML Myspace Tutorial
MySpace, one of the leading social
networking websites on the internet, grows by leaps and
bounds. For those that are new to the MySpace circle,
there are several things that must be learned to enjoy
all that it has to offer. HTML is a series of codes that
are used to create website pages on MySpace, as well as
change the features that are displayed.
For a simple and easy to understand
HTML MySpace tutorial, a MySpace account should first be
created. This can be done by signing up for a free
account on the website. Once an account is established
and the user is logged in, the HTML changes can come
into play.
With MySpace there are numerous
HTML codes that are used for such features as leaving
comments, changing pictures, and uploading graphics for
backgrounds. Typically these codes are offered on the
internet. For example, should someone search for a
comment to leave on a friend’s MySpace page, they can
create an internet search for “comments”. This will
typically result in several outcomes for various
websites that will offer these codes for free.
To retrieve the codes for use,
simply highlight and copy the code. In order to place
the code on a friend’s page, take the copies of the HTML
code, and click on “add comment” under the comment
section of the friend’s MySpace page. A dialogue box
will then open up, and the information can be pasted
into the comment box. This information will look like a
series of parenthesis, equal signs, and other important
coding. This is the HTML code. Once the information has
been pasted and copied into the “leave comment” section,
simply click on the “post a comment” link, and it will
automatically leave the picture and any text that you
have placed into the box in their comment area. Below
you will find some examples on how to do some HTML in
the comment section of your Myspace page:
If an individual wants to hide all
of their comments, they have the ability to do this. To
do so, there is another HMTL code that is to be added to
the final section of the “I’d Like To Meet” portion of
the MySpace webpage:
<div style="position:relative;
height:400px; overflow:hidden;
border:0px;"><table><tr><td><table><tr><td>
Where it claims that the
information is “hidden” in the above code will represent
that the comments will be safe from others seeing them.
Should the user decide to restore the comment section
back to the way that it was, this can be done also, and
will instantly open up the comment section once more.
The same also holds true for the
hiding friends in the comment section. For those that do
not want others knowing who their friends are on their
MySpace page, they can easily eliminate this by adding
the following code to the end of the “I’d Like to Meet”
section as well:
<style type="text/css">
table table td.text table td.text table table tbody td
table, .redlink, span.btext {display: none !important}
</style>
For those that are looking to add a
scroll bar to their comment section, they, too, can make
these changes to their MySpace page. Copy and paste this
code under the “about me” section on the web page:
<br><DIV style="height:560px;
width:490px;overflow:scroll;border:none 0px
solid"><table><tr><td><table><tr><td><br><br>
Adding this to the end of the
“about me” section in the home page profile will ensure
that the scroll bar is available for the comment
section.
Leaving comments is not the only
thing that MySpace is capable of. Items such as the
background layout can also be changed on a personal
page. As with the comments, a new layout can be searched
for with an internet search engine. Once a desired
layout has been selected, the HTML codes can then be
selected and copied. From here, however, one has to
click on the link that states “edit profile”. Once in
this section, the code can be pasted under the “about
me” area, which is where most of the HMTL codes will go
for new backgrounds.
In order to manually edit the
background section, the codes to be edited will look
like this:
<style type="text/css">
body{background-image:url("your image url");
</style>
Where it states “your image URL” in
the above code is where the copied URL should be pasted.
Checking out the selected images with a preview will
show the results of the background change before it is
posted.
Fun widgets, comments, colors, pictures, and more can be
changed on a MySpace page, thanks to the various HTML
codes. As much, the codes can be changed as many times
as desired, and can even be manipulated to where the
codes are created to preference. Once a basic
understanding of how the HTML codes work under MySpace,
other horizons can also be used with the HTML
understanding, such as with a blog on MySpace. The
possibilities that are created with HTML codes and
MySpace are expansive, and only end when the imagination
stops
