How do I add MySpace background codes to my profile?I saw your earlier article about how to change the background color of a MySpace profile (see Change background color of MySpace profile) but that's not what I want to do. I want to actually add a background picture. I've seen it done on tons of profiles - how the heck do I change my MySpace backgrounds myself? I'll show you how to do this, but be warned up front that it's not the easiest task in the world because you need to actually figure out what background picture you want to use then actually upload that to a different server, not MySpace. There are a bunch of options, but I'm going to use Photobucket for this particular example. Your first step, therefore, is to find an image that you like and upload it onto Photobucket, as I explained in the earlier article How can I host images on the Web? Once you've uploaded an image, you'll be able to see how to reference it a few different ways, like this: ![]() The value that we need for this particular MySpace trick is the Url, but just leave that window alone for now and pop open another one with your MySpace profile. Click on "Edit Profile" next to your picture and find your "About Me" profile box. Scroll to the very bottom of that box and add the following CSS code exactly as shown: <style type="text/css">
body { background-color: transparent; border: none; border-width: 0px; } body { background-image: url(photobucket url); } </style> You type that in exactly as shown into the About Me box, after all the material you've written, replacing where it shows photobucket url with the value of the "Url" field on Photobucket itself. In my case, when I use the subtle background graphic shown earlier, it looks like this: <style type="text/css">
body { background-color: transparent; border: none; border-width: 0px; } body { background-image: url(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m259/d1taylor/subtle-background-graphic.jpg); } </style> The result is pretty attractive: ![]() but perhaps too subtle! There are a couple of easy tweaks we can make to the CSS to make it more generally interesting, then we'll look at some advanced tweaks. First, add the following lines and you can "fix" the graphic so that the text content scrolls but the picture's fixed: <style type="text/css">
body { background-color: transparent; border: none; border-width: 0px; } body { background-image: url(photobucket url); background-attachment: fixed; background-position: 0,0; background-repeat: repeat; } </style> (for simplicity, I'm going to use 'photobucket url' again, but you know that you have to replace that bit with the actual Url from your uploaded photobucket picture or whatever other picture you choose to use, right?) If you don't want "fixed" for the background attachment, you should specify "scroll", which is what you're used to seeing on Web pages. You can turn off the cookie cutter repeat in both the horizontal and vertical direction by specifying background-repeat of "repeat-x" only, "repeat-y" only or "no-repeat", and you can specify how the background graphic should line up in the window with pixel offsets from the top left (as I do here), percentages (0%,0% is the top left, 100%,100% is the bottom right) or even specific words, top, center or bottom followed by a comma and left, center or right. Putting that all together, if you have an image you want centered, not repeating, fixed, you could use background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat; no-repeat; and background-position: center,center; Still, what most people seem to do with background graphics is to have the image "bleed through" the individual elements of the profile, so let's do that too. Be warned, however, this is where your profile can become darn unreadable darn fast! What I like to do is to have a sort of middle ground solution, with some areas retaining their default white background for readability while others have the background bleed through. This is so incredibly easy to do that you'll gasp! Just add three letters to the earlier CSS: <style type="text/css">
body, td { background-color: transparent; border: none; border-width: 0px; } body { background-image: url(photobucket url); background-attachment: fixed; background-position: 0,0; background-repeat: repeat; } </style> Can you see what I added? After the first "body" I added ", td" so that the background color of the 'table data cells' are also transparent. Here's what happens: ![]() Ah, that's looking more like a typical crazy MySpace profile with a custom background graphic, isn't it? :-) I know, you're dying to learn how to get rid of those annoying white background boxes so that all of your profile is shown against the background graphic, aren't you? This is just a few additional characters again: where we have "body, td" simply make it "body, td, table", like this: <style type="text/css">
body, td, table { background-color: transparent; border: none; border-width: 0px; } body { background-image: url(photobucket url); background-attachment: fixed; background-position: 0,0; background-repeat: repeat; } </style> The result is predictably a bit more hard on the eye, but nonetheless interesting: ![]() Turns out that if you're willing to slog through all the possible tweaks and fiddles you can add to the CSS, there's a lot more you can do, and, of course, you can also use a far more dramatic background graphic or photograph than I have chosen for my own profile. I'll address these more advanced "div" tweaks a bit down the road! Also, while I'm at it, I have a lot of additional MySpace Help here on the site and you can also become my friend by checking out my MySpace profile.

Just open you picture in myspace, right click, properties, and then copy the url shown there and paste it into the code.

Then go to your myspace and go under edit profile. Then paste the code under your words. Save the changes and your done. Go to your home page then below your picture and click on profile to make sure everything worked. If you have more questions contact me at leezer@tds.net and I'll try to help.

I used your tips to put in a pretty cool background to my Myspace profile page. The problem is that the background picture doesn't take up the whole screen but comes up an inch or two short on each side and a little bit short on the top and bottom. The result is that I have this ugly gray border surrounding my background picture. How can I extend the picture to take up the whole screen? Thanks.

I wasn't able to use the profile editor (I use Firefox) so I started tweaking things on my own. Then, while at work (which has IE) I found a premade layout I wanted to add, so I cut and pasted the code into the "About Me" section and it only half works - the background is gray and inside the boxes (modules?) is where the layout/picture is. For the life of me, I cannot undo it and it's driving me insane! Any info you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :) Posted by: Vicky at July 11, 2007 4:02 PMhow do i uncenter my profile?

Posted by: kristie at October 26, 2007 9:28 PMDave, You MUST help me before I put my head through my monitor. Yes, it's that bad. :) I had my husband's myspace page PERFECT, and then he played around with it. We have a 17" laptop, so you could see quite a bit of the background. Somehow, he managed to change the size of the profile so it no longer lines up with the masthead and if you have a regular sized monitor, the background simply looks white. You don't see any of the background at all. Confusing, and I'm probably not being particularly articulate. How on earth do I adjust the body (the white part of that first screenshot that you have up there) size?

Posted by: Menda at February 28, 2009 10:11 PMI have no idea how that's being included, Menda. The image is cached on MySpace at http://a941.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/11/ l_cde4d51141ea558da9f7c85fa5e32f9c.jpg so somewhere on the site there's a copy of the photo that's been uploaded. If you just go to your daughter's photo album and find the image, I'm guessing that it won't work as a background image. Please let us know what you figure out! Posted by: Dave Taylor at February 28, 2009 10:30 PMHey Dave. . .thanks so much for your efforts. Really appreciated. I've been trying to use your code to put a background on my page w/no success for a minute now. I put the code in at the end of "About Me," save it, then look at my profile. . .no background. When I go back to the Edit Profile page and look at the code again, it's mysteriously Disappeared? WHA? Interestingly, adding simple tags works fine. Either Myspace doesn't like the code & cuts it out after I try to use it, or it's never getting saved in the first place, for some reason. I'm pulling my hair out, so: Any ideas much Much appreciated!

I am unable to remove this. Each time I click "edit profile", add data to about, who i would like to meet, etc.., nothing changes... Please help. I used a CSS code to add extra width space to my Myspace profile 2.0. I'm using a premade myspace theme in which I don't have the URL for. I only had to select the theme. I've tried to retrive the URL but was unsucessful. The problem I'm having is with the extra space I created. At the point which the background repeats is when the background starts to scroll with with my content. The initial part of the background doesn't stroll at all, which is the way I want the entire background to be. I want to do either two of the following things. Either expand my background to fill my entire page including the extra space I've created so that background doesn't look repeated. Or simply get the repeated part of the background to stop strolling with the content. I thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Posted by: Leo at March 28, 2009 6:01 AMIf you take a look at my current profile you can see the pic I want as my background. My only problem is that I want the pic to fit the WHOLE SCREEN, not tiled, noy a small pic in the center either. How do I get a photo to take up the entire backgrpound of my profile? Posted by: Kurai at April 1, 2009 3:33 PMI've been trying for about 2 weeks now, to get a picture background on the full screen...

Posted by: alex at July 31, 2009 10:06 PMHi Dave, Thanks Dave, hi, I've been trying to use a specific theme from the Myspace templates (the Gothic in particular), and just change the background picture with one of mine, but keep the rest of the elements. I used your code and it worked fine for a few months but now, all of the sudden, it just overrides my code for adding the background image. So I had to abandon the theme and do all the coding to display the page, but it doesn't have the same effect, as all the coding details don't seem to be applied in full. Do you have any suggestions regarding this problem? I certainly don't seem able to find my way around it. Thanks Chris Posted by: Chris Kape at September 6, 2009 5:30 AMHello Dave, My My Space profile completely disappeared.. hi dave, i have been trying forever to change my boring background to black. when i get to click and paste, i do not have the edit artist profile which contains the about me section, that disappeared a while back, am i mental? i swear it has just disappeared! explain plse???? thks Esmeralda Posted by: esmeralda searle at September 12, 2009 7:58 AMHi Dave, Hey I have used your page's html formatting for my page : www.myspace.com/benchdawnoptimist It looks nice thank you, I am wondering how i could make the white text box background a different colour, more appealing I used this code : body, td { background-color: transparent; border: none; border-width: 0px; }
