Do you have the code? If so you just paste it in a div (if your using a div layout) in myspace. But it would be good if you posted the code here to make sure everything was ok.

Well I don't use GIMP, but in Photoshop/Image Ready if you go to edit>copy HTML code you get the code for the Image Map and you just paste it on MySpace. All you have to do is replace the link of the Image with the hosted one. Maybe GIMP has the same option?

Toya beat me to it.

It looks ok but the code would just need to be:
CODE
<map name="map">
<area shape="rect" coords="169,64,172,68" href="http://createblog.com" />
</map>
<img src="Untitled" width="420" height="300" border="0" usemap="#map" />

I have two problems.
When i went there to go and image map..the thing came up with the shapes up in the left corner so i couldnt see my image to image map..and i just put random links on the image just to try putting it in my myspace and it didnt show up. so idk what to do

Next time don't double post. You can always use programs to image map. If you got all teh way to the links you should of just added the myspace links in. Post the code.
