Heathaaa, KEWL idea with this FAQ section. Wish I’d thought of it, so I could have suggested it.

i’m sooooo confused. i want to “snatch” a certain layout that i see… but everytime i click on it… it just takes me to a blank layout page and keeps asking me to choose a theme and all of that… i don’t want to create one myself, i want the one that i see. what am i doing wrong????

Hi globalturquoise, can you give me the url for the layout you are trying to snatch? (the link to the page)

I know that somewhere in the forum, you posted a way to take a small picture (in my case an animated gif) and have it repeat until it was the right size for a background (wallpaper) for a layout. I have been looking for that, but haven’t found it. Can you point me in the right direction, please?

It’s the last part of this tutorial Lost John

It will give you the code to make your background tile. You just have to insert the URL to the background image. Let me know if you need more help! :)

Yes, That’s the one. Thanks, Heathaaa. Silly me, not looking in tips etc. Oh, well. Another day.

Can someone please tell me how to get the information in the bio inserted with paragraphs and spaces?

 
Avatar Heathaaa Administrator 1,387 post(s)

put this where you want to put space and start a new paragraph:

<p>

It will do this: Notice the space between the two. That is where I put the code…



Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph.

Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph. Here is a little paragraph.

Wow, you are so helpful, thanks, it worked. Only one more thing. The words of the bio are really close to the border, and the bio heading is actually touching the border. Is there anyway to correct that?

 
Avatar Heathaaa Administrator 1,387 post(s)

oohh that is a tricky one. I’m not sure I can figure the code to only change the padding of the bio box because myspace doesn’t give that table it’s own class for me to select it and change something. If I do figure out something I will let you know! :)

 
Avatar Sachiko Administrator 669 post(s)

OK, dreaccent, you have a band profile right? And if I’m correct, band layout does not have the “network table” right? Then you can put this code:

<style>
table table td.text table {
border-collapse:separate;
}
</sytle>

I hope there is a way to figure out if you have a band profile or not so we can put this special rule but band profiles are soo much less than regular profile… so not sure how high the priority for that would be.

Cool Sachiko! Yeah, dreaccent has a band profile. I had no idea how to get that bio table to have some space! :)
