HIDDY HO! I AM SO GLAD I HAVE NOT LOST YOU GUYS! LOTS OF FOLKS WHO DON'T HAVE AS MUCH TIME AS I HAVE TO PLAY AROUND WITH THIS SITE ARE WONDERING HOW TO GET THEIR OWN BACKGROUNDS ON THIER PAGES.. SO I MADE UP A BLOG FOR YOU. WELL THIS IS THE WAY I DO IT NOW.. IN THE FUTURE I MIGHT HAVE SOME KIND OF SHORTCUT THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN YET POP BEFORE MY EYES.. WHO KNOWS..FOR NOW THIS WORKS WITHOUT TOO MUCH BEING DIFFERENT FROM OUR 360'S..
THE BEST PART OF THIS IS, WE CAN NOW USE THE BACKGROUNDS THAT HAVE THE .GIF FILE ENDING.. WHICH MEANS WE CAN HAVE THE ONES THAT ARE ANIMATED! THAT I LIKE A WHOLE HECK OF A BUNCH.. ONWARD WITH THE LOCKIE HOW TO DO A PERSONAL BACKGROUND ON MULITPLY...
STEP 1. LOOK ON YOUR MY SITE PAGE AND FIND THE CUSTOMIZE MY SITE OPTION UNDER THE MULTIPLY TOOLBAR AND CLICK IT.
STEP 2. THE PAGE KIND OF DROPS DOWN AND YOU SEE THESE OPTIONS UP AT THE TOP OF THE MULTIPLY MY SITE PAGE.
CLICK ON CHOOSE A THEME
STEP 3. A PAGE COMES UP AND YOU CHOOSE ... CUSTOM THEME....
STEP 4. A PAGE COMES UP AND AT THE TOP IS THE OPTION TO UPLOAD A PICTURE FROM YOUR COMPUTER FOR YOUR BACKGROUND.. JUST CLICK THE BROWSE THINGY AND IT WILL OPEN UP YOUR MY PICTURES FILE TO LOOK INTO TO FIND THE IMAGE YOU WANT TO USE.. REMEMBER IT CAN BE JPG.. OR GIF.. AND THE SIZE DOES NOT MATTER! YIPPY SKIPPY YAHOO BUGGABOO!
STEP 5. TO CHANGE THE COLORS OF YOUR BOXES AND FONTS.. YOU GO TO THE LIST RIGHT BELOW THE UPLOADER AND IT USES A SLIDER COLOR PICKER JUST LIKE 360.. JUST PICK YOUR COLORS AND THEN SAVE IT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.. I HAVE NOT FOUND A WAY TO MAKE OUR BOXES TRANSPARENT YET.. BUT I AM LOOKING HIGH AND LOW FOR THE ANSWER TO THAT ONE.. I'LL LET YA KNOW IF I FIND A WAY.. THAT IS EASY HEHEHE!
STEP 6. CLICK THE SAVE OR PREVIEW BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM UNDER THE COLOR PICKER CHART.. AND WALA YOU HAVE DONE IT!
HAVE FUN! IT SEEMS TO TAKE A LITTLE WHILE LONGER TO SET STUFF IN PLACE SOMETIMES.. SO DON'T GET UPSET IF IT DOESN'T DO IT IMMEDIATELY.. MAYBE HAVE TO REFRESH THE PAGE OR SOMETHING.. ESPECIALLY IF IT HAS A LOT OF FLASH ON THE BACKGROUND IMAGE YOU PICKED..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EDIT OCT. 31
WHAT DO THE TERMS ON THE COLOR PICKER MATCH UP WITH ON YOUR PAGE
STEP. 7 ADD-ON. THIS IS AN EDIT BECAUSE OF A REQUEST TO KNOW WHAT THE VARIOUS TERMS MATCH UP TO ON YOUR PAGE ON THE COLOR PICKER...
IT IS JUST A TRIAL AND ERROR KIND OF DEAL ON THIS STUFF FOR ME! COMPUTER LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH! LOL
I JUST FIND THE WORDS I UNDERSTAND AND PUT THE SAME COLORS THERE IN ALL OF THE PLACES THEY ARE FOUND..
THEN I SAVE IT..
IF IT LOOKS SIMPLY PITIFUL..
I GO BACK AND ONE AT A TIME CHANGE STUFF TILL I FIGURE OUT WHERE IT GOES TO..
IT TAKES TIME.. BUT IN THE END THE WAY YOUR PAGE LOOKS, IS REALLY WORTH THE EFFORT..
I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE FEW THINGS I CAN UNDERSTAND IN THE ABOVE SCREEN PRINT AND HOW I USE THEM MYSELF.
YOU WILL FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOUR OWN TASTES QUICKLY
JUST PLAY WITH IT.. DON'T BE AFRAID OF IT..
YOU CAN ALWAYS JUST START OVER...
I KNOW THAT TERM ..REAL...WELL!
HEHEHEE!
EDIT TO BLOG ... 10-29-07
WELL GUYS I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS NO, COLOR CODE NUMBER FOR TRANSPARENT, THAT WE CAN USE TO MAKE THE BOXES TRANSPARENT, WHEN WE DO OUR PAGES LIKE THIS.
IF WE WANT TO DO A TRANSPARENT BOX PAGE.. WE HAVE TO LEARN THE CSS CODE THING.. DARN IT!
THIS WAY IS FUN TOO.. AND PERSONAL TO US.. SO I SUPPOSE I WILL JUST HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO SEE MORE OF MY BACKGROUND PICTURE... LIKE POST A COPY OF IT ON MY PROFILE BOX! SEE, I AM NOT SMART, REALLY.. JUST STUBBORN ... HEHEHE
LATER SWEET TATERS
