• Where can I find a music URL/video URL for my Myspace?
  -Createblog.com does not support stealing bandwidth or direct linking to other sites, so please do not ask. The Big Book of Resources has sections that can help you find your URL's.
  
• What is the code for _____?
  -Pretty much any set script or code for Myspace is present in Createblog's Myspace Scripts section. Check there before asking, and if what you're looking for isn't there, then go ahead and post a topic (pending you not finding it after searching for it!).
  
• How do I choose what friends are displayed on my front page?
  -Myspace gives you a "Choose Your Top 8" option. It's in the bottom left corner of your friends box on your home page.
  
• I changed my age to 16 and its still not changing off private!
  -Your profile will only be visible to everyone under 18 then. You can change your privacy settings so your profile is viewable to everyone, only friends, or everyone under 18 if you go to Account settings > Privacy settings > and pick one of these.
  
  
• HOW DO I KNOW WHO'S SEEN MY PROFILE? WHERE CAN I FIND THE CODE TO A TRACKER? HOW DO I KNOW???
  -You can't. There are many out there, but they are against the terms of service.
  
• The cb tracker doesn't show who visited my profile. It just gives these weird IP numbers and a location?
  -The cb tracker shows the amount of visitors . It wasn't made for myspace and it can't and won't ever show which of your friends visited your profile. Thats against myspace terms of service.
  
• Where do I place my layout code? Its so confusing!
  -If your using a normal layout, post your codes in your about me. If your using a div you may have some parts that go in your Who I'd like to meet section too.
  
• I'm trying to contribute one of my layouts; yet it keeps saying that I missed an required field or the next page doesn't even load. Whats wrong?
  -This has been happening a lot lately. Perhaps try a different computer or even clean out your cookies. Make sure your screen shot is exactly 1024 x 768px. It may just be a server problem also, so you can always try back later.
  
• What size should your background image be?
  -The answer is . There is none. Because someones computer resolution is always going to be bigger than the size of your background. But for it to fit most make it 1024x768 .

  -Please make sure your putting in your friend ID. Always make sure to read the designer comments on layouts as well
  
• I REALLY want to sign up for a myspace, yet it keeps telling 'There Was An Error Processing Your Request Please Try Again', what do I do??

• Is there a myspace virus? My profile got hacked.
  -Read please
