PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SAVE YOUR ORIGINAL PROFILE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO IT!!! IT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!!
Okay, I see a lot of people posting with wanting to spruce up their profiles, but have no idea how, so since I do, I am going to try and explain it the best I can. It's pretty simple believe it or not, If you know how to copy and paste your on your way. I will start with the backgrounds.
First: I want you to go to your Account on Obesityhelp and look at the General Info (Update your profile here) tab click it, this is the same place you go to add a new comment. Now the same place you add a new comment is where you are going to put all your fun images, sayings and your new background.
Second: my favorite place to find fun images ect is http://www.bigoo.ws/ they have a huge selection of backgrounds, images and even a place to write your on sayings(that will come later). Now go to this website and click on the "background" tab. There you will find background categories, scroll through and find your favorite.
Third: Now that you have finally found your favorite background look under the background and you will see HTML source code and a white box with funny writing in it
Example : src="http://content19.bigoo.ws/content/loghi/logo1.gif" border="0">
Now highlight the stuff in the box and right click with your mouse and click copy.
Fourth: Go to your General Info on obesity help as if you was going to add a new comment and click inside the comment box(as if you were going to add a new comment), right click your mouse again and click Paste. The funny code should be at the very beginning of your comment box.
Now: hit the (update my file) button at the bottom of the page, and view your profile. It should have the fun new background!!!
Now: maybe you don't like it go back to your General info, and delete the code. Hit (update my file) again and go find a new code. And repeat the steps.
Okay now lets get some new pretty profiles on this board!!!
---------------------------------------------------------
Now that you have figured out how to add your new background I'm sure your dying to add new images/sayings ect to your lovely new profile. It is pretty much the same except where you will place the code in your comment box.
First: I want you to go to your Account on Obesityhelp and look at the General Info (Update your profile here) tab click it, this is the same place you go to add a new comment. Now the same place you add a new comment is where you are going to put all your fun images, sayings and your new background.
Second: my favorite place to find fun images ect is http://www.bigoo.ws/ they have a huge selection of backgrounds, images and even a place to write your on sayings(that will come later). Now go to this website and browse around for a image you want to put on your profile.
Third: Now that you have finally found a fun image you like ex: a Welcome to My Profile" saying look under the image and you will see HTML source code and a white box with funny writing in it
Example:
blog Layouts
Now highlight the entire box and right click with your mouse and click copy.
Fourth: Go to your General Info on obesity help as if you was going to add a new comment and scroll though your info (all the entries you have wrote) and decide where you want the image to go.
Example: If you found a "Welcome to my Profile Image" you will want to place it under the code of your background code. Not directly under it though, just in case you may want to delete the background code later you will want to be able to distinguish between the two to code so put it a few spaces under it.
Example: If you found a image you want to separate all of your entries like I have on my profile, you will paste the code in under each entry, again don't put in directly under your entry or it will look funny put it a few spaces under the entries.
Now, most of you want to have all these images Centered on your page so, this is how you do that: if i type the code out it will disappear and make this sentence centered so I will have to explain it to you
what you do i**** the shift key and press < button then type
p align=center then hit shift again and press the > button
There should only be a space between the p and align
so it looks like this without the . periods....
put this in front of your codes for what you want centered
Now: hit save, and view your profile. It should have the fun new image!!!
Now: maybe you don't like it go back to your General info, and delete the code. Hit save and go find a new code. And repeat the steps.
So, You got your profile looking cute and you are so proud but, sometings missing? Ahh Music. Guess What? it's just as easy as everything else!!

you can search by artist or song name and find the song you want to play on your profile you copy and paste the code the same way you do the other images. It has the little white box with the funky code in it: it will say add this to myspace, use that code they work on our profiles.
Please, make sure you back up your profiles, before you put anything on your profile go to the same place where you add your new comments/new backgrounds ect and go to the bottom of the page.
you will see this:
**** Check this box if you would like to have a copy of your profile emailed to you. We suggest that you back up your profile periodically. As with any system, we can have data corruption or data loss, and we would ask you to help us by backing up your profile. We will not be responsible for lost or deleted profiles. ****
Yes, email me a backup!
Make sure you do this before adding any new images ect. some people's stuff gets deleted sometimes!!!!
Good Luck and Have Fun!! I will try and help any way I can, but Please Please don't get angry with me if I can't . Now go make that profile pretty!!!
Hugs,
Norma
