Boston Myspace Layouts

A Guide to Myspace Layouts | Boston Merchant Services

These days nearly everyone you know has a MySpace page.  It’s a place for you to connect with friends, family, and people you never even knew before.  Even your favorite bands, movies, television shows, and politicians have MySpace pages.  It’s the social hub of the web, and has redefined the way we think about communication and expression.  Within the development of your own MySpace page comes the newfound ability for self expression.  Your page is your window to the world.  It’s how your friends perceive you.  It’s where your long lost friends or classmates will find you.  It’s where you make your mark and explain yourself.  I like to think of MySpace layouts like we think of fashion and clothes in the everyday world..  A MySpace layout enables you to skin or clothe your page in your favorite colors, patterns, styles, celebrities, basically anything you would like.  Want the world to think of you a certain way?  Let your MySpace page reflect your persona by utilizing a MySpace layout.  Want to get yours set up?  Here’s where to start:

1.)  Dedicated layout sites vs. MySpace: MySpace provides a few basic layout options, such as color choices and some patterns, but their selection is limited and low quality.  They often provide layouts in line with their advertising affiliations, not user needs, so you’ll end up with options like a Transformers layout versus a band or celebrity you like.  What I recommend is to go with a layout from a dedicated layout site, that specializes in making custom layouts as their main focus.  This will give you the widest selection. 

2) Choose a layout: There are a number of layout sites you can choose from, and you can find them by typing “MySpace layouts” into a search engine.  For the purpose of this example, I’m going to use a favorite of mine, pYzam.com.  I’m choosing pYzam mostly because they have been making quality layouts for years and also because MySpace itself recommended them as a source for layouts on the web.  When you go to pYzam.com all you need to do is click on “Layouts” at the top and then click on MySpace Layouts to open up the MySpace layouts section.  Here you’ll find a number of layouts and layout categories to choose from.  Select a category from the menu, anything you think you would like, from different colors to different themes.  Once you click a layout category, you’ll begin the process of browsing designs.  Simply browse like you would a set of images and pick that perfect looking design.  You can click the design to view it in a larger thumbnail, or even “preview” it on a fake myspace page to see how it would look on your own.
