How do you add navy blue to just the sides of my profile?

for profile 1.0

<style>body{border-style:solid; border-top-width:0px; border-bottom-width:0px; border-left-width:100px; border-right-width:100px; border-color: 000066;}</style>

change 100 to a width you want and 000066 into a different HEX code if you want a different color :)

for profile 2.0
body{border-style:solid; border-top-width:0px; border-bottom-width:0px; border-left-width:100px; border-right-width:100px; border-color: 000066;}


How do you hide the blue box with the advertisement on top on my myspace page?

It's against the terms & conditions of myspace to hide the advertisement itself. However you can get rid of the blue box around it:

in 2.0, put this code into the CSS part of customize profile:
div#header{ background:transparent; }
div#googlebar { background-color:transparent; }
#topnav { background-color:transparent; }

How do i hide my comments on myspace 2.0? i tried a lot of codes and it doesn't work.

if you don't want anyone to see your comments, you can go to customize profile, click on the little pencil above the comments module and choose 'just me' under privacy settings.

Remember to 'apply changes' and then 'publish'!

How To Make Myspace 2.0 Profile Completely Private?

Profile 2.0 doesn't have a 'make the profile private' option but make each module 'friends only'. This IS essentially the newer version of 'private profile.

Unless someone adds you, the same things as on your 'private' profile from 1.0 are visible on your page. Plus the little images under "message me" and the url and the like. You can remove those too through customization.

How do you hide your last login date on myspace?

in profile 2.0:

my profile -> customize profile.

click on the pencil above the basic info section, and uncheck 'show last login' then publish.

in 1.0 it's a bit more complicated.
place this anywhere in your profile ('about me' section usually)
<style type="text/css">.lastlogin {visibility:hidden;}</style>

then place this in the CITY section of basic info:
<span class="LASTLOGIN">

lines of text are overlapping. What part of a CSS code do I have to tweak to get rid of that?

There's probably a font style command that reads "line-height: ##px;" somewhere in your layout. This fixes the height of all your text lines within that div class so when you changed the font, it made your text overlap because the new font is bigger. Just change this to a bigger number & you're all set!

How do I hide myspace blog subscriptions?

How can i get an image as my background, stretching the whole layout, on profile 2.0?

for the image to stretch across the entire background, it has to be the exact size as your screen resolution. So if you use a 'wallpaper' image for say 800x640, this'll be a small image on someone with a 1024x786 resolution or higher. What I normally do is get a picture I like with a relatively simple background, and fill in the blank space with the same color as the background of the picture. (link to my profile in source to show you what I mean)

you can either put it in through the editor itself (easiest option) by uploading the background to a website like photobucket.com. Or use a code:
body {background-image: url(URL OF IMAGE); background-color: COLOR; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-position: bottom right; }

this code will put the image at "URL OF IMAGE" on your background at the bottom right corner of the page no matter how big the screen resolution is, won't repeat, and when someone scrolls, the image will stay put.

I want a scroll box in my "television section" with pictures of tv shows i enjoy watching. But I tried posting a couple codes I found on google and it failed to work........

most of the codes you're finding are probably for 1.0 :)

here's what i'm using:
li.interestTelevision div.autoResize {border: 3px solid #000000; height: 100px; overflow: auto;}

this will put a box under the 'Television' heading that is 100px in height, and "overflow:auto;" will make anything that doesn't fit into that height make the box scroll to show it. Look for the HEX code of the color you want here: http://caribbean-joe.net/joe/Notebook/images/hex_colors.jpg Or google it if you'd like.

If you want a box without border, put 0px. Mess around with it and see what you like :)

Marquee code Doesnt work on MYSPACE 2.0? I've tried <marquee><img src="></marquee> and it doesn't work.

you DO have an actual image url in there right?

<marquee><img src="URLHERE"></marquee>

How do you hide intersts section, about me header, music player & center the profile?
hiding the modules (interests, music player) can actually be done through the profile editor itself on 2.0

You can also center the profile through the editor. So no code there.

As for the links on the bottom:
div.footer {display:hidden;}

About me header:
div.blurbAboutMe h4 {display: hidden;}


"display:hidden" doesn't work, try "display: none."

i want to make myspace layouts. i know how to do alot of stuff with myspace and on the internet. dont tell me i need to learn other stuff first. but is there a basic code to use to make a myspace layout were i can fill in everything else?

The Myspace Developer's forum actually has a very good basic starting point for you : http://developer.myspace.com/Community/forums/t/6008.aspx

They list the most commonly edited items' css class names and the basic commands to go with it. It's a good place to start and if you want to go into more details, as always just simply 'view source' to figure out what class edits what. Then google for all the different commands that myspace's forum didn't list. My favorite site for this is http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp The 2.0 profile editor makes it quite easy to preview so you don't have to 'save profile' and pray you didn't just make the entire profile blank by unknown reasons.

Since you say you already 'know how to do a lot of stuff with myspace and on the internet'...then I assume you already know what css class is associated with what. And a way to cheat is to go to a layout website, get the code for a layout and just edit it into what you want. But that's not very nice
