How do I add a cool background to a MySpace account?How do i get a nice background on my page? I can find a very good one but it always says myspace on it but i try it anyway. How do i put the graphic into my background on my page? This is a pretty general HTML question, actually, and there are two ways you can turn a graphic into the background for a Web page, whether it's on MySpace or anywhere else. The first, traditional way to set a graphic as a background image on a Web page is to add the attribute background="url" to the body tag. For example, the site Media Builder.com has some free backgrounds including an attractive edge of autumn leaves. That file is known as http://www.mediabuilder.com/mb_content/tile_leaves_autumn.gif
which means that you could set that as the background to your page by using that value as the "url" in the above attribute to the body tag. It might look like this: <body background="http://www.mediabuilder.com/mb_content/tile_leaves_autumn.gif">
To use that in MySpace, just copy and paste that line directly into your own profile box and it should work fine. The cool, modern way to add backgrounds, however, is through Cascading Style Sheets, not straight HTML, and in that situation, you'd use code more like this: <style type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
body { background-image: url(url) } </style> I don't think that'll work with MySpace, however, because I am fairly certain that the MySpace editor strips out these sort of meta-inclusions. But, heck, it'd be worth trying to see what happens! Hope that helps you out with your question to spiff up your MySpace page. Finally, if you'd like to connect with me via MySpace, that'd be great!

I am trying and I dont see myself as illiterate when it comes to computers, quit the opposite. But I am myspace stupid. I have read what you wrote about adding an image for my background and for the life me cant get it...could I ask for a screen shot of where this is suppose to be added because I add it everywhere and cant seem to find the right space for it and it is driving me through the roof right now. (yes I have gone to the my profile edits and all that jazz and have no clue what I am doing and not afraid to admit it either LOL)
Thanks I apprecaite it
