Myspace layouts are what make your myspace page entirely unique, and fun. Creativity is at its best for most people, and many people even create their own. They are generally colorful, and symbolic of the person who is using it. They come in several forms, including div overlays and just normal HTML coding.

Layout codes are usually formed by experienced HTML coders, and are written in the hyper text mark up language. This allows the browser to recognize what it is, and places things accordingly. There are other forms of coding, but you can only use HTML on Myspace. These codes allow you to insert a layout, or images, or special codes for unique widgets and other little virtual gadgets. Layouts are the most popular way to express yourself on Myspace, and let friends know what you are about.

If you want to make your own myspace layout, you need to know a bit of HTML to do so and possibly have Photoshop skills to make your work 100% unique. HTML is easy to learn, and there are plenty of resources available. After you have the HTML down pat, fiddle with coding, and how you would like your page to appear for other users. Be careful though, some layouts are not usable on firefox, IE, and vice versa. Overloading your layout with images will cause users with slow connections to not be able to visit. It's also inconsiderate of others, if you flood your page so that others cannot even view it. After all, what is the point in having a public friend page, if no one can visit?

Don't know how to write HTML, or cant seem to learn it? There are tons of websites dedicated to providing you with pre-designed layouts and templates. There is bound to be at least one thing you like, with categories ranging from retro to video games, and everything in between. Obscure subjects are also available for a layout, you just have to dig around.

Myspace layouts are not elusive, and you find them fairly quickly and easily. Googling "Myspace layouts" returns over 40 million links. Freecodesource, Createblog, Whateverlife, myspacemaster, skem9, and many more are all free resources for your layout needs. Searching specific themes, designs, or people will help you narrow down the search significantly. After installation, you must not remove the owners copyright information, credit, or anything that resembles that they wrote this code themselves. This is called "Jocking" and is a crime in some places.

Remember, your myspace page is meant to reflect who you are, not anyone else. Make sure you choose something that you alone love, and do not worry so much about what other people think. Express yourself!
