MySpace Basics & Tutorials

Here is some basic help and links that can be very useful for beginners when working with the various code tweaks and generators on the site. We try to include instructions with everything on the site but the more you know the better you can make your profile look. Hoping to expand this section, you can request tutorials and help by Contacting Zoodu.

On Zoodu.com there is a lot of content and I try to keep the best parts visible on the Mainpage but there is not room for everything. The top horizontal navigation menu presents all the main sections of the website. The left side vertical navigation also lists the main sections of the website for those who do not like to use the horizontal navigation, plus any smaller sections and sections related to current events like special holidays. The vertical navigation also includes our link partners and some advertisements. The website's main sections are Layouts, Graphics, Generators and Tweak Codes.

Tutorial: How to get friend ID
Generators and friend trains often require your friend ID number and layout stealers require the ID number of the user whom's layout you are stealing. Whenever you are browsing MySpace, and you are on someone elses profile, you will 99% of the time see their Friend ID number or name in the URL bar.

Step 1: Go to the profile page (to get your own ID number log in and click "View My Profile").
Step 2: Look at the URL / Address Bar and get the Friend ID number.

Remember, just the numbers, not the whole URL. eg: 12345
Note: If a name has been chosen for the user ID the numbers won't be in the URL bar on someone elses profile, instead the name will be, and that works too. For example http://www.myspace.com/zoodutest

Tutorial: How to install a MySpace layout or tweak code
Installing a custom MySpace layout or any type of code tweak is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Just make sure to remove all code from an old custom layout before installing a new one!

Step 1: Copy the code using ctrl+c or mouse right click and "copy".
Step 2: Login to your profile and click on "Edit Profile".
Step 3: Paste the copied code into the appropriate section, usually "About Me", using ctrl+v or mouse right click and paste.

Basics: What is HTML?
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.

Basics: What is CSS?
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!
