Anybody who does their own MySpace page - help!

Sign in to disble this ad
I was handed the redesign of my band's MySpace page. I've never set up one before, and this one is set up but needs major revising. I've tried looking up the help files but what they tell me to do, doesn't seem to work. So if anybody out there is really familiar with how MySpace works, I need your help!

The problem seems to be that the help files tell you to click on Profile Editor, but there is no Profile Editor link or button anywhere. When I click on Customize Profile or Edit Profile, I get the same page where there's no real way to change anything. It may be a bug or something that I have to contact them about.

I've tried copying and pasting the code into the About Me area, which is what they suggest. Nothing happens.

those boxes allow you to change the background....put videos and stuff from....say photobucket
to change your back ground you have to go to a specific page that has many(layouts) for free

Yeah, I've already done that. I have a layout made from another site, I'm just having trouble getting it to work on MySpace. When I copy and paste the code from the layout page, it doesn't make the main page change, just the one I'm on.

If it were broken codes though, would it still work on the page I'm on? I mean, it'll change the page with the About Me section on it.

Probably not quite the same thing. This isn't changing the main MySpace page at all. Not just parts.

Yeah, I knew what you meant. But mine isn't changing the main page at all. Doesn't even affect it. Just changes the page I'm on.

You might want to send "Tom" a msg.
it might be that there's something wrong with your page...
