MySpace 2.0 - Now you can do MORE

Category: , ,

Well I'd have to say this is one of MySpace's best project's that actually went up. If you haven't had a chance to get to it or just afraid that it just won't work with your layouts. Don't worry. As far as I know, Pyzam is the only site that offers MySpace 2.0 Profile layouts.

Well, if you don't know what it looks like, here's a preview of my personal MySpace page.

MySpace.com - www.myspace.com_homerm07
If you click the pic, you'll see that almost everything is kinda funny looking. The good thing about it all is that the "modules" can now be moved around. Like if you don't like the comments where they are, just drag them to where you want them to be. Cool huh?

Well now you might be curious on how to do that. I got the answers.

  • First, move your mouse up to "Profile" then move your mouse down to "Customize Profile." There you should be prompted about the change.

  • Once you get that done, check out your profile. It's changed now huh?

  • Ok now go to Pyzam.com and look for the new 2.0 layouts. Find your favorite then once you get that done, let me know....

  • Done? Good, go back to your page, then do what you did the first time. Profile>Customize Profile.

  • On the top left, kinda under the "Preview" button there's something called "CSS" that's where your copied code is going to go. I hope you remembered to copy the code of the new layout :)

  • Paste the new code there, and click "Publish" which should be the orangey / yellow button on the top right side of the screen.

  • Now click either "Home" or "Profile" this is where you're going next.

  • Click "Profile" to see the new layout


Easy huh? Well now if you want to move modules, do the same Profile>Customize Profile. But once there, just hover your mouse over any module and drag that little thing like you've never done before :)

Well, everything's ok now huh? But did you want privacy? I do, I have haters that love watching my site and my MySpace page. So block them, kinda. Once again, go to Profile>Customize Profile. Each module has little options like "Edit Module" "Collapse Module" & "Delete Module" Just click the "Edit Module" on any module (you have to do this to all modules you want private) then just choose your privacy settings. It is a hassle but once you got it done, your site will be visible but the select modules won't be.

All in all I gotta give MySpace credits for all this. They really did do something good. Now I just can't wait for the edit pictures. :)

Any troubles? Comment here or email me to homer@thoughtsuncensored.com

I was wondering if you know of any issues with 2.0 and Vista. I can change my "home" background then save/publish but when I actually go "home" the old background is there.

Also, when I go to pimp-my-profile and snag a 2.0 background, paste it under the "CSS" , it does not appear after save/publish.

Any thoughts?

Hi Lynda. Here's a little trick that just "might" work.

If you are on Firefox, go to "Tools" and click on "Clear Private Data." You should get a little window that pops up and check mark "Cookies" then click "Clear Private Data Now." Close Firefox then try again.

If you are on IE7, click on "Tools" then click on "Internet Options." Once there, look for "Browsing History," it should be the first tab second one down. Click "Delete" under "Browsing History." You'll get a little window that pops up, make sure all the little check boxes are checked and click the "Delete" button on the bottom.

There is a shorter way that just "might" work. Hold CTRL and press F5. That does a force refresh that refreshes all cookies and browser/site data.

Good luck!
