Step 1: Click "Edit Profile"

Open up your MySpace page and click on the “Edit Profile” link next to your profile image.

Add visual elements to different sections, like putting a picture in “Who I’d like to meet.”

Pictures can be added by creating a link to an existing image on the web. You can find samples at any MySpace support site.

Step 7: Find site w/ profile editor

If you still can’t create the profile you want, find a website that offers a MySpace profile editor in which you can manually design your own completely original layout.

Step 8: Preview profile

As you make changes, preview your new layout by clicking “Preview Profile.”

How To Pimp Your MySpace Page: Save changes

Step 9: Save changes

When you’re satisfied, click “Save all Changes” in the settings. The next time someone views your profile, they’ll see your stylish new layout.

MySpace has over 100 million members—or roughly the population of the entire United States in 1915.
