For some reason my wordpress wasn’t giving me the option to open a link in a new window. Well, all you do is add this code right before the brackets.
target=”_blank“
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFH7wSMG8Hc&feature=related" XXXXHEREXXXXX>Salt n' Peppa</a>.
it will look like this
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFH7wSMG8Hc&feature=related" target="_blank">Salt n' Peppa</a>.
To put in an image as your background picture,
copy and paste this:
<style>
body {
background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
</style>
Where the XXXXXX is the location of the image you want to make your background. if you need help figuring out what that is, I have that on one of my other myspace posts.
If you want the picture to repeat on the page, insert this:
<style>
body {
background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
}
</style>
If you want the background image fixed in place when you scroll down, use this:
<style>
body {
background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
background-attachment:fixed;
}
</style>
I want to pimp my myspace. I got the code need to put in.
So, where do I paste the code into my profile??
Essential question – thanks Rach
If you are putting a video into your profile, you put the video code in whichever box you want it to be shown.
As for layout changes and css code, you should put it inside the ABOUT ME section. If you want to add code to code you already put in, you should insert it somewhere inside the style tags – to be more precise, put it right before the line which has the “/style” in it. That basically says that this is the end to your formatting code.
You can basically put the code wherever though. Just try it. and Send your questions!
For making your myspace profiles – If you dont pimp your profile, you are nobody. People wont respect you in the community. For making cool backgrounds, and your boxes (tables) transparent or moderately opaque, here are some tools I made today.
They are all clean now. if you do a search for these things normally, they will always try to enter in their own ads into your myspace page. dont be violated. I havent sold out yet – so here is some very clean code for pimping your myspace. Be Safe.
For: transparent boxes – custom background image
<STYLE>
td, table, tr, span, li, p, div, textarea, DIV
{
background-color: transparent;
}
body
{
background-image: url(http://XXXXXXXXXX);
background-repeat: repeat;
}
</STYLE>
opaque boxes and a background image>>>>
insert the following inside your style brackets… (What are Style Brackets?)
td.text td.text a img {width:50px !important;}
table, td, textarea, a, body, input{background-color:transparent;border:none;border-width:0}
table table table {border:10px double; border-color: 000000; padding:1; background-color:FFFFFF; filter:alpha(opacity=95); -moz-opacity:0.7; opacity:0.90; -khtml-opacity:0.4;}
table table{border:0px}
table table table table{border:0px}
body {
background-image:url(http:/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX);
}
you can play with the highlighted line to get the degrees how you want it. be careful! you may lose visibility altogether, and then you will have to navigate solely using your instruments.
I used Windows Live Writer and downloaded this plug-in
http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=1f57bd9b-a692-4593-9e9e-e2962d9c0eee&bt=9&pl=8
It works seamlessly. It doesn’t even show that you have the plug-in, but when I made the post, it showed the code just how I wanted it.
How do you change the color of your font in myspace?
This is an easy question, but it can get complicated.
Before we actually start, lets pick a color. Keep that number ready.
Now…
When typing text in a comment or in just one field or table, and you only are concerned with that individual field, you can use this code:
<font color=”color_code”> YOUR TEXT HERE </font>
and to change the size also, use this:
<font color=”color_code” face=”font style” size=”number value from 1 to 7″> your text here </font>
If you want to change individual parts of your profile, everything is laid out very well in this guys guide on myspace
http://www.myspace.com/colorguide.
The most basic of what you want to create is:
td, a, body, table,p { color:XXXXX;}
put that in your profile and you will change the color of most of the text.
Heres a question that has totally been under the radar:
How do I put a video onto facebook?
The book barely mentions this, but it is possible! Heres how you do it:
First things first, you must have the video already hosted by another website. So this means they are basically giving in to what the people want (post videos on their profile), rather than inspiring creativity like myspace might be doing by hosting their own videos. thats fine. I just wanted to point that out. maybe its better this way. its very clean here.
click on Posted Items on the left side
Now, you copy the URL of the video you want to insert into your profile.
paste that link into the Post a Link field on the right.
It will now appear on the Posted Items or Mini-feed section on your profile
These videos actually work well and look great on the site. kudos to facebook for making it simple like this.
also, I hear there are sites that have a button to “share on facebook” where you can share straight from their site. they use the word “partner” in the description, so that makes it sound boring. But look out for that.
You can press the share button to send the video to your friends too
also, they made a bookmarklet function. you install it by dragging the icon to your bar ( which is pretty cool actually ). I haven’t done it because I dont want any more crap on my machine. but this is just another option with this share function.
How will I look when I get old?
How would I look if I were asian or black? or a girl??
This is a very interesting/creepy site I just found on Digg.
You upload a picture, and then you select what you want to see yourself as. The one with the most anticipation for me is the Older face. Kinda ruins it for you. the teenage versions do kind of remind me of myself, I will have to check out the pictures. Overall, its worth a shot
