If you still do not own one, then it is time to open that site and start building your profile and inviting friends. However, people usually look at the profiles of members who have colorful and exciting layout. Layout is very important in attracting friends. Before these people would look at your pictures, they consider first the layout of the page. So, how are you going to make your MySpace layout eye-catching?

You can use other people’s profile to identify likeable layouts. You may make list of criteria why these particular profiles catch your attention, and keep them in mind. Also take a look at the profiles that you find unattractive, so that you would have clues on what to avoid in choosing your own layout.

First, you should know what kind of profile you want to show. That means your personality. Your personality can be shown through your hobbies, interests, and likes. Then, make sure that they can be seen in your layout. But how are you going to do it? You cannot just make your own layout; however there are lots of MySpace layouts available on the net. As a member of MySpace, you are entitled to free MySpace layout. Remember, they are free!

However, one must be very cautious in choosing from these websites. You cannot be so sure that these layouts are really safe.

After you have chosen the layout that suites your profile, do not stop there. There are many people who are also using the same layout that you have. You need to make your profile distinctive. But how are you going to do this? Accessorize your profile. There are lots of ways to make your profile different from others regardless of having the same layout.

After acquiring your sought-after layout and profile, do not be satisfied at once. How long will you keep your profile look at that way? You need to revise your profile after some time. You too could have change in yourself. Then tell it through changing your layout again. There might be another layout that would catch your interest, another layout that would define your new you. It is important that you keep your profile posted. In this way, you would get more friends’ invites and more views.

It is still important to make your MySpace profile and layout show who you really are. Make your profile in MySpace be the mirror of your personality.

For those who are concerned with having privacy on MySpace, there are many codes and tweaks you can use to protect your identity from everyone who isn’t on your friends list. While there are many bands and clubs on MySpace who want their profiles to become very popular, some people still prefer to have their pages private and hidden. Thankfully there are many ways to do this.

Of course you can always set your page preference on ‘private’. That way most of your profile and friends list is hidden from the public. But your contact table will still be seen by everyone. If you don’t want a stranger sending you a friend request or a private message, there are ‘hide contact table codes’ that you can use as well.

If you have no desire to hide your MySpace profile, but still wish to hide your friends, there are codes you can use to hide your friends list, even your top 8.  This is especially a good idea if many of your top 8 friends are young; it will help hide their profiles from any untrustworthy adult that may come across your page.

There are also codes that can be used to keep your status invisible whenever you log on. If you don’t wish for anyone, even your friends, to know when you’re logged on, just use a ‘hide online status’ code.  Of course you may already be familiar with the editing profile options for your MySpace page.  You can easily and quickly edit your privacy options.  You can choose to do this or use a copy and paste a ‘hide online status’ code from a MySpace codes site.  There is also a code that you can use that will conceal your last login time.
