MySpace users are not boring and they certainly do not want boring cookie-cutter websites. Today’s MySpace users are young—usually between the ages of 12 and 25 and they want a unique website that offers them a chance to show off their likes, interests and unique personality. The MySpace website offers users that chance to shine with fun and exciting MySpace profile features.

When you first start using your MySpace website, you might notice all the technical “stuff” about changing and modifying your MySpace profile page. You can modify and change your profile page at anytime. Currently, you cannot use JavaScript when you change your profile on MySpace, but if you are familiar with HTML/XHTML and CSS, both of these can be used for changing your profile. In addition, you can also use this to add music to your profile using MySpace Music and video. If you are not familiar with using HTML, do not worry, most people aren’t. MySpace offers you help and you can also look to other websites to help you import what you need.

Here is a closer look at the fun things you can do to “pimp” out your MySpace profile to make it uniquely yours.

Blogs: Blogs are a popular way for people to connect on the Internet. A blog is very simialar to a diary or a journal. Many people that keep a blog will add to it once a day, while others may opt to update once a week. People enjoy reading blogs and it is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family. When you use MySpace, you can add a blog to your site so people can get to know you better.

Photos: Adding photos to your MySpace profile is a very popular option. You can add photos of yourself, your friends, your dog, your cat or even your teddy bear. Whatever you want to share on MySpace can be put on your page. One word of caution: MySpace is a very public site, so do not put pictures of yourself that you could be embarrassed about later.

Bulletins: When you add the bulletin option to your MySpace website, then you can send out alerts to everyone on your friends list. Each time you want to make an announcement, or add new features to your MySpace site, then a bulletin will send out a mass email to everyone on your list. This is a good way to keep your friends updated.

Groups: Groups are also very popular when it comes to MySpace. Many people join MySpace groups and add them to their profile. You can join together with your closest friends or other people that you share common interests with. This option allows each group to share a message board and a common MySpace page for everyone to use and update.

Video: Video streaming is another option when you have a MySpace account. You can add videos of anything you wish. Before you add video to your MySpace profile, you will want to make sure that your computer supports the large files and that it doesn’t slow down access to your site.

If these features aren’t enouhg for you, there are many  third party websites that can give you all kinds of neat things to add to your MySpace site. Some may charge, while others might be free. You can add glitter headlines, cool font, neat background colors and more. Remember that when you use MySpace, this site is a little like your room. It is your personal space to show off what you love the most. Make it shine with all of the neat MySpace extras.
