tutorial is great and it really help me but when I set my top banner logo and clicked preview all was great but I can't submit or edit.what ever of those two I click nothing happens :S what's wrong and how to fix it? I use this setup I got it what did I do wrong.the width:900px; height:1150px was the problem :] I just put it on width:600px; height:800px and now is good.thanks again! keep up the good work Getting Started Here is a list of things you might want consider using to make your layout: Adobe Photoshop CS4 Adobe Illustrator CS4 GIMP Notepad Some of this tutorial will be based on Adobe Photoshop CS4, but the steps are optional, so you don't have to follow those steps. Before we even start making the layout, make sure you have everything prepared for the layout. Make sure you get rid of all of your current coding on your MySpace, but make sure you do all of your editing in Safe Mode. If you don't do editing in Safe Mode, you will not be able to save your changes. Also, make sure you have your images ready to put on the layout. You will want to have your pictures all uploaded, unless you are looking into slicing images, then you'll have to upload as you go along. Here are some websites you can use to upload your pictures.In my opinion, I would recommend using webs, because Photobucket and Imageshack aren't that reliable. Okay, again with the custom left side...is there any way I can turn some of the images into links? to like pictures and add to friends and stuff? Slicing Images This is an optional part of the tutorial. Slicing images will help greatly with your images loading faster, and it also helps add links to images, since imagemapping will not work on band layouts. For more information on this, check out my tutorial on how to slice images and add links. |
