How to create a Myspace layout?        

This might seem tricky but it is actually pretty easy. The only thing you need is basic knowledge in HTML and CSS .

It's time start code. Instead of begin the layout with tags such as <HTML>, <HEAD> and <TITLE>, just start with the <STYLE> tag right on. This is because Myspace.com has already prepared that job for you.

There's already class-names that will be used in the profile code, wether you modifie them or not. These are:

nametext
whitetext12
lightbluetext8
orangetext15
blacktext12
redtext
redbtext
blacktext10

edit them and then you can go for the tag-properties. Tags that are used in the profile are:

body
a
div
font
span
input
tbody
table
tr
td

Edit the properties of them like you use to do when you edit CSS. Here's an example of how this can look like:

<STYLE> font {font-size:11pt; font-family:arial} a:hover {color:b7012b} </STYLE> <BODY>

You get the idea. If you want to see more design examples then just check out Myspace Background . Just start coding and have fun!

Indeed there are still a lot of html editors out there that still use tables to format a pages content, one strong word of advice, get rid of that software and start again. Tables are not extinct within webpages but they should only be used for the purpose of presenting data.

Beginning CSS? I am not going to use this article to give you a whole list of tags and how to apply them, that information would be too easily ignored. There are thousands of well rounded websites available on the net today that can walk you through the first stages of CSS, the one I would recommend would be: W3Schools CSS intro this is a perfect place to start learning CSS, in the interests of parity and fairness I will also recommend What can be achieved using CSS .
