One of the fastest growing internet phenomena is the dot com community, MySpace.  MySpace is a web site where people of all ages , interests, and backgrounds can meet new people, connect with friends, listen to music and find new bands that fit their interests.  All of this is done through means of special interest groups and member profiles.

Profiles are what members use to “present” themselves to the rest of the community.  The standard, or default profile “layout” consists of a white background with blue and orange accents and black, Times New Roman font.  However, members are not bound to this layout look.  As often as every week, new layout editors are posted on the internet.  Some of these offer members the opportunity to customize their layout so that it is a one of a kind.  For the less savvy MySpacers, there are sites online which offer pre-made layouts; all the member has to do is select one he likes and copy and paste the applicable HTML code into the “About Me” section of his profile. 

Thomas’ MySpace Editor and MySpace Toolbox are two of the more popular programs online for creating custom, one-of-a-kind profiles.  Both of these programs are simple to use, even for the internet novice.  Users can choose color schemes from pull-down menus that show the available colors or by inserting HTML color codes, which can be found through Lycos’ WebMonkey reference page or by doing a keyword search for “HTML color codes.”  A color code chart is helpful because the selections of colors in the pull-down menus on either site, Thomas’ or the Toolbox, are somewhat limited (two or three shades of each color, red, pink, blue, green, etc.) while the color code charts offer every color recognized by most internet browsers and color computer monitors.
