Hey everyone! I know I am not a good GIMP image maker, but I couldn't find a good one on this subject, so I made my own. I pieced some together and came up on this! I will include the links to all XCF's and the coding some might find useful. This took me forever( over 5 hours) so be happy
Sorry for terrible mic quality, I am on my cheap headset!Here are the written steps!
-Make a new file with the sizes being; w-960,H-1600.
-Add a new layer and make the sizes the same EXCEPT make the layer fill WHITE.
-Use bucker fill and make the new layer BLACK or another dark color.
-Then click on background and go to IMAGE> Canvas Size, then make the Width 1600 and H 1600 then click on the Chain links to the right and unlock them. Make sure your Width and height are 1600!!
-Then you delete your background layer.
-Be creative and design your very OWN myspace background!
~~UPLOADING!~~
-Go to your myspace profile and click on "My Profile" then Customize profile.( Make sure to be using 2.0!)
-Click "appearance," then click on select theme. Select NO THEME!(First theme) Then go to the option, "Change Layout," UNDER "Select Theme." Choose the option that looks like a header and a blank page, the last one.
-Now click Advanced Edit. Click on the Background, and then you need to fill in your URL with the URL of your uploaded picture. Now click on Publish(Right side of screen on top) and then OK.
You did it! Congratulations! Now lets move onto the content boxes. They are harder, but still can be done. I included the XCF's, and if you use them or do the measurements yourself you will get it. Again, the sizes are 960, but depending on your content, your H can be a really big number! I used media player, friends, and details in my TUT!
After you have your measurements or use the ones I made, you just have to fill them in with whatever you want. They are thin and you cannot add much into them.

-Go to your myspace profile and click on "My Profile" then Customize profile.
-Click advanced edit and then click the different choices UNDER background. Include your URL to the proper section and publish. There isn't much to this part.
I hope you all enjoyed my tutorial and if you need any help, feel free to ask me and I will see what I can do!
