MySpace question - please excuse my ignorance

Post by Ceol na Mara »

Does anyone know what <3 means? For example, someone'sMySpace name is "Jack <3's Jill".

OMG, I'm so stupid! I've been trying to figure that out, google it, etc. all weekend, and as soon as I just typed it, I realized it's a heart. :roll: :oops: As in "Jack loves Jill".

But would someone please just confirm this. Thank you. :oops:

How do you make a "theme" with music and graphics? I just started using MySpace this weekend so I'm learning.

This helped me with a background:
you can upload a color or a photo background

For a song, you can just find someone's else's site with a song you like and "add" it to your site.

or you can just google myspace backgrounds. There are several sites to choose from that have a wizard that will walk you thru a layout and give you the code and tell you where in your profile to place it. They are very easy to use

When you go into edit your profile...you can put it in almost any of the empty boxes in there...just use one that you dont feel like filling out the info to.
