:confused: ok. i have designed a layout for myspace with photoshop. now where do i go from here? i have programs such as, dreamweaver 8, fireworks, photoshop, and paintshop8 .
1.Where do i go from making the layout on photoshop? Do I open it in dreamweaver and start slicing?
2.And then how do i put the codes to my profile? Do i just put the whole code from dreamweaver to the "About Me" section?
please help. any lil bit is a big help. thanx in advance.

Since I am utterly unfamiliar with DreamWeaver, I think you probably know more of what to do with it than I would. I will, however, ask you a few questions about the layout you designed in Photoshop.
What kind of layout have you designed? Will the image work best with tables or divs, or is it suited for iframes or frames?
If it's tables or divs, then you'll probably be able to make it work. Myspace has a system of tables and such already going, so you may be able to tweak it around to where you want it to be.
If you've devised a frames or iframes layout, unfortunately, those don't seem to work quite as well (especially frames). I'm quite a newb at making Myspace layouts myself, so someone else may have figured out how to make frames work on Myspace---they, however, will need to be worshipped. XD
This page (http://5thirtyone.com/archives/category/myspace/page/2/) offers a four-part tutorial on how to make a custom Myspace layout that actually floats on top of the craptastic default layout. Check this tutorial out--it's what I'm using to help craft my own Myspace layout (whenever I get time... ^_^;)
Hopefully, this will help you lots more than I can. As for DreamWeaver, you'll probably only need that for image slicing--the actual codes that the tutorial page suggests can be copy-pasted into a simple Notepad or Simpletext document, saved, and put into your "About Me" section on Myspace (with some edits by you, of course :) ).
