Pimp Your Myspace! Layouts to Spice Up Your Internet Social Life

You may have tried your best not to get caught up in the Myspace craze that has swept the nation, but if you are reading this article, chances are you couldn't hold out forever. Myspace is a great way to keep in touch with old friends and keep the communication lines open with your current circle. You can find new bands, read and write blogs, post your own art, and exchange pictures. The trick is getting started. No one will want to look at your page if it's boring and you don't know how to keep it updated. This article will give you some tips for making your myspace exciting and entertaining!

You should post a profile picture as soon as possible. If you only have your first name on your site, people may not recognize who you are unless you post a pic. But what kind of picture should you post??1. A close up picture of your face is usually the best way for people to recognize you. You can upload a picture by going to "add/edit photos" from your website. You have to have the picture saved to your hard drive to upload it. If you don't have a digital camera, just ask a friend to send you a picture you can use.

If you are young and a girl, it's probably not a good idea to post a full body shot of you in your bikini... remember anyone can see this picture and you don't want to make yourself a target for internet stalkers. Another safety tip is to set your profile to private so that only your friends can view your site.

If you like making people laugh, and you have a program like Corel Photopaint you can even cut your face out and edit it into other pictures. So far I have added my face to a disco guy with a moustache and a mullet-donning business man.
