Are you looking to change your Myspace backrounds? This is the code for placing the Myspace background image in the top center of the browser window. In order to make the image visible the backgrounds of all the tables in the Myspace layout need to be made transparent. This process will be explained in the Myspace layout tutorials.

<style type=”text/css”>

body {
background-color: FFFFF;
background-image:url(http://URL TO IMAGE);
background-position: top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>

One thing to note is I used only the vertical background-position option and let the default horizontal position of center do its own thing.

This is not an optimal position as the Myspace banner ads will obscure the top portion of the image.

Looking to change your Myspace backrounds? Here is the code for placing the Myspace background image in the top left of the browser window.

<style type=”text/css”>

body {
background-color: FFFFF;
background-image:url(http://URL TO IMAGE);
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>

Remember that without special code the contents in the Myspace layout tables will cover the Myspace background image on the left when the browser window is made smaller.

As you can see this is not an optimal position as the Myspace layout tables content will obscure the top image. In an advanced tutorial I will show you how this position combined with tiling can create interesting Myspace background image effects, like a drop shadow on the Myspace layout table edge.

On Mosh, you can upload content to your own profile, including audio, videos, documents, images, games and applications. Browse for other content on Mosh, where you can take three actions for each item: share, collect, or download. Sharing lets you send the item to friends via SMS or email, collecting lets you bookmark the item, and downloading is self-explanatory. For each item, you can also vote it up or down by indicating if you ???like it??? or ???love it??? and leave a comment.

You can create collections, which are similar to folders for the items you bookmark throughout the site. View other user’s collections, and scroll through the content that’s included in the collection. Every action you take, sharing, collecting and downloading, is tracked. These stats are shown in graphical representation on your dashboard, and also goes toward your overall ranking. For each user, you can also see how many items they’ve uploaded in each category, along with the items in their collections, and countries where users are collecting from them.

But, how can you get inside? … Well, until yesterda, it was a private beta, with Nokia telling users it may be a good idea not to publish the access code to the site on your forums. But that is exactly what Nokia did with their new Mosh service…

If you want to see what Nokia Mosh is all about, just type “ALLACCESS” into the box on the landing page. You can then register for the service.

So with the assumption that everyone wants to socially network online while, er, socially networking, carriers, manufacturers, and developers met for the two-day conference on Thursday.

“In the future, the phone will do everything,” said Stephen Johnson, senior manager for the corporate strategy group at Nokia. “Social networking itself is becoming more mobile friendly but we’ve got a lot to do to take the Web and make it accessible for mobile.”
