Free MySpace Layouts are basically 'plug-and-play.' One need not to attend tutorials on HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to install them. You have to only browse through the section of layouts, choose the one you like, and copy and paste the code of that particular layout into your profile. The most popular categories of free MySpace layouts are as follows:

Premium MySpace Layouts: They feature gradient backgrounds, photo backgrounds, and music backgrounds. Typically, a background photo is modified with a translucent overlay. The image is then set to 'fixed', which gives the effect on the overlay floating on top of the photo while the page is scrolled.

2 Color MySpace Layouts: The layouts in this series actually have more than two colors each, primarily a background color and a table color and sport various border styles.

Plain MySpace Layouts: They are stripped of all styles except the main background color, the text color, and the link color. Each layout in this series is equipped with a special customized contact table that creates a simple yet classy look.

All these layouts are of high-quality, fully-tested, and feature the following:

Customized contact tables: The links on your contact table will match the link colors used on the rest of the page so that the page looks even and therefore effective.

Full compatibility with major browsers: All the layouts are compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera on Windows, and the Safari web browser on Mac OS.

Evenly sized tables: All the MySpace component tables (e.g. Contact, Interests, Details, etc) are even in size to give your profile a professional two-column appearance.

Colored scrollbars: They enable you to choose a color for your profile.  

All these layouts are clean and simple, so that the users can easily add flair to them with MySpace Editor, a toolbar that allows the users to customize the look and feel of their MySpace profiles.
