Fancier
MySpace Comments
MySpace is quickly
becoming one of America’s favorite Web sites and one of the
things that makes it so popular is the comment feature. Adding a comment
to a friend’s profile is like leaving a little sticky note for
them to read. They can then send you a comment back as well. Sounds
like a fun way to communicate, doesn't it?! Comments are made of simple
text, but they can also be fancy text or an image. And that's exactly
what I’m going to show you how to do today. So, let’s
get ready to add some pizzazz to your comments!
Formatted
Text
You are probably
used to expressing yourself with bold, italics, underlining and different
styles of fonts like that, right? Well, sadly, MySpace doesn’t
incorporate those types of styles, but I am going to show you how
you can! To do that, you can use this nifty little Web
site, which is the home of the MySpace Text Editor.
When you get there, you will see what looks like a mini Microsoft
Word and here’s what you need to do with it:
1.) Just enter
in the text you would like to use as a comment.
2.) Once you do
that, you can format it using the buttons and drop down lists. It’s
so very easy!
3.) When you've
finished adding and editing all of your text, simply click on the
button.
4.) Bam! Everything
is then converted into HTML code for you. Now, just highlight it all,
right click and select Copy.
5.) Next, head on over to your friend’s profile. Scroll down
and click on the Add Comment link.
6.) Right click
and choose Paste to place in the code. Voila! You
now have a fancy new comment.
Images
Now, let's move
on to images. MySpace recently added a tool that easily allows you
to embed any of the millions of pictures found on Photobucket into
a comment. Here's how you do it:
1.) Head on over
to your friend’s MySpace page and click the Add a Comment
link.
2.) Next, click
the Add Image From Photobucket link.
3.) You can then
scroll through the pages and find an image you like. Select it and
press Add Image to Comment.
4.) Press Post
Comment and you can then see what your comment looks like.
Cool, huh?!
Now, what if you
want to embed an image that’s not included on Photobucket? Maybe
you’d like to use one from another Web site or maybe even one
you have saved on your own computer. Here's how:
1.) First, make
sure you have permission to use the image. If it's from a personal
Web site, you need to ask permission before copying the image.
2.) Next, open
your browser and surf to the Web site that contains the image you’d
like to use.
3.) Right click
on the image and click Properties. Then highlight
the image URL and copy it to your clipboard.
4.) Now, go back to the MySpace
Text Editor and click on the Image button.
5.) Paste that
URL into the text box and click OK.
6.) It will then be displayed and you can drag the corners out until
it's the size you would like it to be.
7.) Click the
Source button to convert the image into HTML code.
8.) Finally, copy
and paste the code into your friend’s comment box on MySpace.
Once you do that, you're all done!
I hope you enjoyed
today’s tip. Now, you can be the one to brag to all of your
friends about how your comments are always the coolest!
