Start with a MySpace profile
Each profile contains two standard "blurbs": "About Me" and "Who I'd Like to Meet" sections. Profiles also can contain sections about standard interests. Usually it's found under the "General" section of one's profile. A profile also contains under the "General" section, areas for specific personal details, such as Marital Status, Physical Appearance, and Income. However, these features have the ability of not being displayed on the page by simply not filling them in or covering them up with certain codes. Profiles also contain a blog with standard fields for content, emotion, and media. MySpace also supports uploading images. One of the images can be chosen to be the "default image," the image that will be seen on the profile's main page, search page, and as the image that will appear to the side of the user's name on comments, messages, etc. MySpace has also added the option to upload videos that are played via a standalone Flash player.
Also displayed is a count of a user's friends, as well as a "Top Friends" area. Users can choose a certain number of friends to be displayed on their profile in the "Top Friends" area. The "Top Friends" used to be restricted to eight friends. People bypassed this limitation by using third-party tools to emulate ”Top X” friends. Currently, MySpace allows up to 24 friends to be displayed in the "Top Friends" area.
Below the "Top Friends" area (by default) is the "comments" section, wherein the user's friends may leave comments for all viewers to read. Although comments are publicly accessible, many users leave personal comments regardless, allowing any reader to know their business. MySpace users have the option to delete any comment and/or require all comments to be approved before posting.
MySpace profile layouts can have the entire look changed with HTML and/or CSS. Many different "MySpace editors" are available from other websites for those who do not know HTML. MySpace gives users some flexibility to modify their user pages. Using HTML and CSS, the vast majority of the profile can be changed to a user's preference. Users also have the option to add embedded music into their profiles via MySpac Music, a service that allows bands to post songs on their respective profiles. Videos and any other content can also be added.
