With millions of users, MySpace is one of the largest and fastest growing
networks on the Internet and it is a fantastic way to stay connected with
friends and family. Uploading pictures will allow you to share the latest events
in your life with those who might be unable to see for themselves (i.e.
wedding, graduation, vacation, etc.). You don’t have to be a computing whiz to
make your page sparkle, in fact, it is very easy to customize a MySpace page,
and change it when the mood strikes you.
Follow these simple steps and
start uploading your memories:
Step One
The first step is to click the <Add/Edit Photos> link
in the Main Menu as shown to the left. This menu bar is the blue box towards the left side of your screen. The
photos link is the third link down.
MySpace only allows photos with the extensions .gif or .jpg. All photos must be
600K or less in size and cannot contain any nudity or anything offensive.
Step Two
Next, find the “Upload Photo” box
and click the <Browse> button. A file upload
box should pop up on your screen. (If not, hold the <CTRL> button as you
click <Browse> to allow pop ups. Navigate through your computer and
locate the photo you wish to upload. Double click on the file name and then
click the <Upload> button. This site is being created for a gardener who
volunteers her “green thumb” time, so we’ll add a refreshing floral image.
Step
Three
Once you hit upload, the page will refresh and the image
will appear towards the bottom of the screen under “Your current photos.”
To add a caption, click the <Add
Caption> button and type the information into the text box that appears.
Then click <Update Caption> to save your changes. To change who your photos can be viewed
by, check the circle option ‘You Only.’ If you would like to make this
accessible to everyone, click the ‘Everybody’ option.
The
first image you upload will automatically become your profile photo, but as you
add more photos, you can assign any photo as your main picture. When you upload additional images, a
button will appear next to <Add Caption> that asks if you would like that
particular photo to because your default one. Where there was formerly a “No Photo” default image on our
MySpace page, we now have the flower image we just uploaded and set as the
default as seen below.
Continue this process until you’ve added all the desired
photos. Once a picture is uploaded, you can also view it by clicking the Photos
link under the “View My” options below the photograph.
