NOTE: The purpose of this tutorial is for using a copyright or personal background image you don’t want anyone else to use.

1. Add your layout to your profile without choosing a background image in the Layout Editor.
2. Make sure the image is the size you want (a minimum of 1024px wide by 768px high, if you have a widescreen try 1280px wide)
3. Host your image on the internet somewhere like photobucket.com or tinypic.com
4. Get the direct URL to your image and put it in this code
• This code needs to come AFTER the coolchaser code. I recommend putting it in ‘Who I’d Like to Meet’ section, just remember to delete it if you decide to change your layout!!!!

<style>
body{
background-image:url("URL TO YOUR IMAGE");
}
</style>

• ADVANCED BACKGROUND OPTIONS

You can use any image size and tile or repeat it.
Repeat options:
repeat tiles the image in all directions
repeat-y tiles the image vertically
repeat-x tiles the image horizontally
no-repeat makes it so the image does not tile or repeat

Position options: (where on your screen the image starts)
top left, top center, top right
center left, center, center right
bottom left, bottom center, bottom right

• Same as above—> This code needs to come AFTER the coolchaser code. I recommend putting it in ‘Who I’d Like to Meet’ section, just remember to delete it if you decide to change your layout!!!!

<style>
body{
background-image:url("URL TO YOUR IMAGE");
background-repeat: repeat !important;
background-postion: bottom left !important;
}
</style>

Hey there,

i am poking around making attempts to get coolchaser to work but without luck… there seems to be an error on loading. Is this common????

Thanks,

Aja (Tim)

Hi Acolt! Yeah the site is painfully slow now :( I think we have either too much traffic or the database died. I’m going to email our tech guy and see if he can fix it.

—>I know this is already in the above list…I just wanted to be able to link to this particular section!! :D

Very nice tutorial! Thanks for doing this :)

so now i have hidden my friends and comments.. how do i keep the “Comment me” link? also.. adding pictures to my “who i’d like to meet” section???
thanks, guys. this is most helpful. :)

ahhhh. okay. thank you. :)

I’m having a problem where I added a coolchaser layout, and now my two slideshows (one in About Me, and one in Who I’d Like to Meet) are not showing up. I deleted them, added coolchaser, and then put them back in, and they still aren’t showing up. Also, I used to be able to add a song to my profile, and now that won’t pop up on the left either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

JDwingnut12, are you a mac user? Then it’s a Mac Firefox and Safari bug that can’t show the flash widgets on top of a translucent layout. So you can either make you layout fully opaque or fully transparent.

I wish I’d known that when my last EX joined myspace. She was asking me about how to hide her birthday and age, and I was going, “budeeah, budeeah, I don’t know!
