How to Do Everything!
So you want to add background music to your MySpace profile? It’s really quite easy and can be done in a few simple steps. First, go to MySpace.com and log in to your profile. Once you have logged into your profile, click the Music link in the top navigation bar. Here you will be able to search for music, see the top artists, or have it broken down by genre etc. Once you find what you are looking for, click the artists picture or their name to visit the page. This should take you to the artists profile. From here you will see a large gray box with their various music selections. To add a song to your profile, you must click on the Add button under your desired song. You will then be asked to confirm adding this song to your profile. Assuming you do, click Add Song to Profile.
That’s it! When people visit your profile, that song will load in the background for you.
Making thumbnails in Adobe Photoshop is really very easy. It can create a much clearer thumbnail for you than many other methods, and you are able to select as much or as little of the picture as you’d like. The secret is in the Crop Tool, which is selected in the image below. Now, for the best part: you can define what size you want the final thumbnail to be, whether you want a 150px by 150px thumbnail or anything in between. Double clicking the image once the desired area is selected will create the thumbnail.
Change the opacity to between 30-60%, and flatten the image (the side popout menu on the Layer window). There, much better! If you’re not a fan of Photoshop, I highly recommend Arles Web Page Creator. It has some really nice built in features and will create some very sharp clean thumbnails. It’s free to try and a valuable tool for your arsenal.
