You see them everyday, fancy little designs and artsy templates on Myspace pages. Many Myspace users choose to use a personalized layout for their Myspace. They are unique, and much more interesting than the traditional Myspace default page. The internet comes bundled with tons of options to make your page all about YOU.

Hyper Text Markup Language is a special computer language that allows coders to create beautiful layout designs. Myspace only supports HTML as a legitimate format though, so make sure your layout that you choose fits that. Experienced and non-experienced users alike create these layouts. The fancier the more experience you need. Basic HTML is simple and easy to learn, so many people take it up to create their own layouts.

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.

Createblog, Whateverlife, Skem9, and many more sites have an endless number of pages filled with layouts. Ask designers on Myspace if they would mind creating a custom design for you, and ask friends. Its all about using your resources that are available, and searching for the right person, theme, or designer. Its important to note that layouts are property of the creator. “Stealing” it or “jocking” is rude, and illegal in some cases.
