MySpace Layouts Update
Alrighty then... MySpace blindsided us with another modification to one of the external stylesheets which controls the display of MySpace profiles. The line of code they added ended up turning the background color on a number of my layouts an offwhite color.
There are two ways to fix this...
1) MANUALLY EDIT THE LAYOUT CODE
Go to the 'About Me' box on your 'Edit Profile' screen and locate the following code near the beginning of my layout code which looks like this:
body {background-color: ...
Change this to the following:
body.bodyContent {background-color: ...
Essentially you'll just be typing in ".bodyContent" (without the double quotes) directly right after "body" and that's it. Click on the "Save All Changes" button and your profile will display normally again.
Let me know if you have any issues with this fix or if you mess things up trying to apply it and I'll come give you a hand.
OR...
2) REINSTALL THE LAYOUT CODE
All the layouts here at Iron Spider have been updated with this fix so an alternative would be to simply reinstall your layout code fresh from the page you got it from.
This modification affects the following layouts in particular:
Plain MySpace Layouts
Professional MySpace Layouts
Chromatic Table Layouts
2 Color MySpace Layouts
Okay that's it, friends... Have a good one!

i can't get my layout to work right. it still has that stupid white background. please help dude.
Ben,
What's your MySpace URL?
I've been using your plain layouts forever. Specially, this one: Plain Black MySpace Layouts - 05 ~ (Ultra-plain, no borders)
There is something weird happening. I've tried with this one and another one and the "general, music, movies, t.v., music and heroes" section doesn't appear.
Just so you know. Thank you.
Vittoria,
What's your MySpace URL?
Hey there,
I could not use your layout because myspace says since I signed up after April 1, i cannot switch to profile 1.0. So dose that mean I'm out of luck?
Very Nice layouts dude.
(One important caveat: If you signed up for MySpace after April 1, 2009, you are automatically using profile 2.0, which offers advanced design and privacy functions. You cannot switch to profile 1.0.)
Mrs Tee,
Not necessarily. Try this workaround:
1) Go to your MySpace account home page.
2) Click on 'Manage Blog' (left column)
3) Scroll down and click on 'Post New Blog'
4) Type 'test' in the Subject line and type 'testing' in the Body field.
5) Scroll to the bottom and click on 'Preview & Post'
6) On the next page, click on 'Post'
Now return to your MySpace account home page (click on 'Home')
1) Click on 'Edit Profile'
2) Click on 'New! - Customize Profile' (top right)
3) Click on 'Go Back to Profile 1.0'
4) Click on 'Switch to Profile 1.0'
5) You'll be prompted with this message:
"Profile 1.0 does not have movable modules or advanced privacy options."
6) Click on 'Switch to Profile 1.0' again.
You should now have a classic MySpace 1.0 profile.
Try this and get back to me with the results, please.
