The Ultimate Guide to Customize Your Myspace Profile
A lot of people have asked me how to setup their own myspace profile, and even more have asked me how to customize, hack, and pimp out their myspace with custom layouts, backgrounds, slideshows, and more! You know you’ve see some really cool myspace profiles that you were really jealous of. Now it’s time to learn how to do it yourself! This is the ultimate tutorial guide to customize your own myspace!
The first thing everybody wants to do is to change the basic look of their myspace profile – what we call the “layout”. There are many sites all over the Internet with free myspace layout generators. A layout generator will allow you to mock-up how your profile will look in real time, and then it ‘generates’ the HTML code you’ll need to put in your profile to make it look that way.
Best mySpace Layout Generators

Freesourcecode.com mySpace Layout Generator
This layout generator / profile editor is really nice because it loads up a real time preview of your (current) myspace profile, and then you work on a mock up of it live. Drawbacks are – you don’t know some HTML and image editing you might be a little lost because you don’t have all point and click options, you have to enter in some of the values you want yourself (like background image URL). If you know a little code, this is a handy editor.
