The mysteries of MySpace....how do I post a website link?

[amitten]

I can't find any information on how to do this. :cry:

1. If You Have A Myspace page

you look on your home page and down below your pic, you will find something that says:

Tell people about your MySpace

My URL
http://www.myspace.com/Southpawkicker

There's where it's at!

2. Thanks...but I'm trying to post a link to a totally different site,

one that is not on MySpace.

Do you kow how to do it?

3. Are You Trying To Post It ON myspace?

if so I'm not sure

[amitten]

5. Well, just inside my MySpace page.

I have a different personal website I'd like to post a link to that people can click on.

4. what kind of link? I posted an affiliate banner on my profile...

I did it through the "edit profile" link. Just add the html into one of the "about me" or "interests" boxes. You could also try it using the blog, your bulletin board or your comments section. I haven't been on there long myself, and I'm still trying to figure it all out.

Hope this helps :hi:

6. Like Ghost Said

that's what I'd suggest

7. Simple HTML tag

<a href="http://address.com">Text for the link</a>

[amitten]

8. So do I have to type in that whole thing?

Or just the highlighted part?

And...where?

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Yes, the whole thing.

The blue part is just a URL, which gets parsed as a link by DU's forum software, so just ignore the fact that it's a blue link.

You can put it in any part of your profile where text is editable if I'm not mistaken. "About Me" would probably be a good choice.

10. Thanks...I'll go try it.

And if it doesn't work, YOU WILL HAVE HELL TO PAY!!!

11. Okay. I'm kickin' this again because I've tried all the suggestions

and I STILL can't post a clickable link on My Space to my separate website. :grr:

12. a good link...

visit htmlgoodies.com
a good run through site to get you aquainted, or the html masters group on myspace, very helpful!

[amitten]

13. Thank you. I don't see why this thing is such a big deal...I mean

it's so basic and yet no one on MySpace gives any info on it. :shrug:

14. Myspace is all HTML code

There are many sites that have HTML tutorials, such as this one:

http://mackxrocks.com/tutorials/basichtml/

It's geared toward Myspace users.

Unfortunately (for me), Myspace doesn't accept javascript or frames. I have a few codes I'd love to put on my page, but can't. Then again, considering all the crap people load on their profiles, perhaps this is a good thing.

I just put up a new profile today, designed to mingle with my blog. Here it is:

15. you have to use HTML

<a href="LINK URL">TEXT YOU WANT TO APPEAR</a>
