How to Make New Paragraphs on MySpace

2009-05-17T11:30:00.000-07:00

It's actually really easy to make paragraphs in MySpace once you know the trick. All you have to do is add what's called the paragraph or "break" HTML code (break means paragraph). The break code looks like this <br>

So you would type this:

My name is John. <br>My girlfriend says I spend too much time gaming.

And it will look like this in your MySpace section:

My name is John.
My girlfriend says I spend too much time gaming.

Ahhh...easy once you know how, right?

Here's why it works:

MySpace is set up for HTML. That means you have to add the HTML code that tells the computer to make a new paragraph. And if you want a double space paragraph, just use 2 break codes in a row.

Hope this was helpful in letting you know how to make a paragraph in your MySpace About Me section or any other place on MySpace.

Tom Thomas's WebTracker is a great website that's all about MySpace, and the best part - it's easy to read and not cluttered with all sorts of loud flashing things! :)

Included are articles on topics such as How to embed Youtube video in your Myspace profile and Code to hide the Myspace music player.

I was particularly interested to read that Tom's article about a terrific application called Gabbly, which allows a user to chat with other visitors of any site in a real time interface. As Tom writes, "What this means for you is that you, as well as your profile visitors, can now chat with anyone that happens to be visiting your profile via a chat link embedded on your page."

Use SnapLayout to Edit MySpace About Me

2008-01-05T14:50:00.000-08:00

One of the biggest frustrations people have with MySpace is how hard it is to change their profile. For example, you actually need to know some HTML just to make paragraph breaks when you are writing on MySpace. It's weird, because although MySpace has been around for four years, to date they still haven't made an easy way for people to customize their profiles.

Here comes SnapLayout to the rescue. SnapLayout is a website that makes it easy for you to edit your MySpace profile. Sound confusing? It isn't really. You just go to SnapLayout and log in using your MySpace password. Then you can use the WYSIWYG editor to make drag-and-drop changes to any part of your MySpace profile. There's a demo video at SnapLayout

Researchers say MySpace About Me sex risk 'overblown'

2007-09-01T12:05:00.000-07:00

Is it safe for teenagers to post a MySpace About Me profile? Critics of MySpace and other social networking websites such as Friendster and Facebook say children put themselves at risk when they create an online profile. But according to News in Science, fears that teenagers posting MySpace About Me profiles "are exposing themselves to sexual predators by disclosing too many personal details are probably overblown".

News in Science reports that researchers writing in the Journal of Adolescence acknowledge that predators can glean important personal snippets from MySpace About Me profiles. But they say situation is not as prevalent as critics of MySpace suggest.

The research indicates that the majority of teenagers use the website responsibly, either by setting their MySpace About Me profile to "private" or being discreet about what personal details they disclose.

News in Science explains the source of the concern:

"The site has come under fire from parents, teachers and law enforcement agencies after several cases in which men molested under-aged girls they had met through MySpace.In response, MySpace launched a campaign to promote online safety and hired a chief security officer."

MySpace is a wildly popular social networking site and ranks as the fourth most popular English-language website in the world.

MySpace About Me: What's Next?

2007-08-15T10:30:00.000-07:00

Once you've written your MySpace About Me section, there's all sorts of other things that you can do to make your profile look cool. And of course, the cooler your profile the more that people will want to be a part of it, right? :)

So what can you do to make your MySpace profile unique?

Backgrounds - First of all, you need a great background. Don't use the default background, get creative!

Music Videos - You can find the latest music video clips and run those videos directly from your own page (while everybody else is still scratching their heads trying to work out how to do that). By the way, you want to change this often so that it doesn't get boring for visitors.

Effects - Add cool effects like your name raining down over your site. This can create a real buzz amongst your friends.

Cursors - use a unique cursor instead of a boring little white arrow. Every little bit helps to make your visitor intrigued by all the different features on your site.

Contact box - you can change the look of all the display boxes on your site and choose the look of your contact box. Which makes it more fun for your visitor to check out your contact box and click "add to my friends".

Games - add games to your site for everybody to enjoy when they visit, which means it gives people a reason to keep coming back.

Free stuff - who doesn't like to get free stuff? There are actually loads of free videos of comedy, music, drama, previews, that you can put on your site. If you have a special interest in something like, say knitting, then you can feature those videos for other people interested in the same thing which means they will visit you over and over again.

Passion - by writing a good MySpace about me page, you can locate lots of people interested in the same things as you and make them your friends. Which means, if your passion is say, horses, then you can have a site full of like minded people to share your passion.

Famous people - wouldn't be so darn cool to invite your favorite pop star, rock band, movie star or personality to be your friend for everybody to see and be envious of how you pulled that one off? For example, if you're really into music it's very cool having a site with heaps of musical friends.

Photos with captions - you can add your own photographs with captions to share with everybody. People love to look at new photos, especially if you put a caption that tells about it. That helps to make your site to look fresh every time somebody arrives back.

So the first thing is to write a good MySpace About Me page, and then glitz it up with backgrounds, videos, photos, and effects. That will take your MySpace profile out of the boring same-old, same-old zone and make it really unique.

After all, you want your MySpace About Me profile to be a reflection of your uniqueness, right?
