Q. Where do I paste the codes PimpMyArea has created for me?

A. All style codes should go in the 'About Me' section of your page. Audio and Visual codes can go anywhere that accepts HTML input. Some codes have different places where they should go, please refer to the code in question to find out where.

Q. What is ‘About Me’ section and where can I find it?

A. When you edit your Profile in MySpace you find a box called ‘About Me:’ to include your personal information. In this box you should cut and paste the codes created by PimpMyArea.

Q. What is a URL, and where can I find it?

A. URL is a web address to a file, or page. An example of a video file URL might be: http://www.yoursite.com/files/myvideo.wmv. So if you are trying to put a background on your profile, or some music, or a video, make sure you have a VALID URL, otherwise it won’t work!

Q. Why isn't my background/video/music working?

A. The most common reason for this happening is that the user is trying to host the file locally on their own computer. The solution is to find somewhere to host it. For images try PhotoBucket or Imageshack, for video and audio files, do a Google search for free web hosts, and find a suitable one to host it, then use the direct URL to the file for the generator. If you are hosting a file on a free web host, and it still isn't working, it is more than likely that you either exceeded your allotted bandwidth

Q. All the stuff I put in my Interests section isn't showing up, why?!

A. There is a bug/feature with MySpace that turns all text entered into these sections into links, to fix this problem, and have the text appear in the colour you defined, simply put <Z> at the very beginning of each of those sections. (Interests, Music, Television etc...)

Q. Can I use these codes for a band/group profile?

A. The last question in the 'Other' tab asks whether it is for a group profile. If you have a band profile, do not tick the box, as the code is the same, just paste it into the 'Bio' section of your band page. Select 'Group' if you have a group page, and paste the code into the 'Group Description' section.

Q. What is HTML?

A. The easy answer is that html is the language of web pages.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a programming language used on the WWW (World Wide Web) in order to create web pages. Web browsers than interpret the HTML and display it so that users are able to view it. HTML is actually a very simple language once the basic concepts are understood. Just remember HTML is a client-side language which means the data is interpreted locally on your computer, not from the server.

Q. What is CSS?

A. They define how to display HTML elements.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) define how to display HTML elements. They are normally stored in Style Sheets (.css), they were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem. CSS is a breakthrough in Web design because it allows developers to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once!
