How to set a picture as a MySpace profile background?

 Question:

I have a fairly new MySpace profile. can i set an image i choose as its background?

Answer:

You bet! You can do it in two ways:

• using the Profile Editor. This option is quite straightforward, but it’s currently available to those of us that use Internet Explorer as our browser.
• upload an image to an image hosting service (such as FlickR and Photobucket) and embed that picture as your MySpace profile background using some CSS code. In order to improve the loading performance of your profile, i suggest you use a one of the following lightweight image formats as your background: jpg, jpeg, gif or png.

Ok, so here are the steps you need to take if you opt for the second way:

1. Follow steps 1-3 as specified in the following guide.
2. Login to MySpace and click the Edit Profile link.
3. Paste the following custom MySpace code in the About Me section:

<style>
a, body, input, table, td, textarea{background-color: transparent;
border: none;}
body{background-image:
url(your_url);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: center center;}
</style>

Note that your_url is the imageURL you found in step 3. For example: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=234019277&albumID=0&imageID=487820

4. Click Save All Changes. For security reasons, You might be prompted to fill a captcha before you go on and modify your profile background.

5. Click Preview Profile.

That’s it
