MySpace Layouts

MySpace is probably one of the most popular and most addicting websites of our time. It seems everyone has a MySpace page. I even have some pastor friends who have pages!

But who wants the boring blue and white page that you get when you sign up for MySpace? Where is the pizzazz in that? So, soon you try and find a way to make your page stand out. You may start by adding your favorite song to your profile. Then, maybe a slideshow with pictures of your family. If you are really cool, you will even get a spiffy new layout.

Layouts come in all colors and designs. From geometrical shapes, to the hottest superstar, there is something for everyone. You can even use layout generators to make your own custom layout. While there are places that charge to do these things, there are many great choices available for free. This makes the possibilities endless.

Two ways to get the perfect layout to dress up your profile is with pre-made layouts and custom layouts. Each has their pros and cons. With pre-made layouts everything is done for you with little effort. The downside is your best friend may have liked the same layout. With custom layouts, you have to do a little more work but the results are a unique layout that no one else has.

Pre-made Layouts

This is the most popular way to get a layout for your profile. There are literally hundreds of options from a host of different sites.

One of my favorites for pre-made layouts is www.myspacepimper.com. They offer layouts for popular brands such as Chanel, Hollister, Baby Phat, and even Playboy. Or maybe you are into animated layouts with blinking stars or falling snow.

Another great site is www.mygirlyspace.com. This site caters to girls, but has a lot of great layouts for every one. Their retro layouts are top notched. The scenic layouts are absolutely breathtaking.

A great site for Christmas layouts is www.hotprofileplus.com. Their Christmas layouts range from a Nativity scene to a gay Christmas layout. They also have many other choices to choose from such as cars, celebrities, and sports layouts.

Custom Layouts

Making your own custom layout takes a little more work than pre-made layouts, but the results can be very rewarding. Especially when you see the picture you took on your last vacation in the background of your profile. Or maybe your favorite picture of your kids. Not a computer whiz? That's ok. These generators are made to be user friendly.

The easiest place I've found to make custom layouts is www.myspace.nuclearcentury.com. Just click on create a layout and easy to understand directions are at your fingertips. This generator utilizes Photobucket to upload your favorite images.

www.freecodesource.com features many different generators including an easy to use profile editor that allows you to create a background as well as customize your fonts and colors.
