The Matt Site MySpace.com is probably one of the best layouts on the site. It is very tastefully done in soothing colors, a clean layout and a plain background, yet looks very elegant.  Matt is a musician, among other things. He has another matt site on MySpace.com in the Music section where he has his own music uploaded for fans to hear.

It is obvious from the look of the matt site MySpace.com that someone with a good knowledge of CSS has designed the layout. Since MySpace is a popular medium for people to express themselves, most users enjoy personalizing their profiles. Although there are some major constraints about how much the original MySpace layout can be altered, there is one way in which you can leverage the available tools for some serious customizing, and that's CSS to the rescue.  

CSS can change the MySpace layout design as we can see from the Matt site on MySpace.com, but it cannot change the structure. MySpace profiles use tables in the layout structure, which is a series of columns and rows that form a grid. In the profile page on MySpace, the layout has tables within tables. There are even 6 tables nested within each other. CSS or Cascading Style Sheets as they are called, has Styles, which instruct the code. This can be something like marking some text red or making a background blue. Its called cascading because it lets you use multiple styles simultaneously. If there is a conflict among these styles, then the one you add last is the one that applies to all. Suppose you mark something red and then say that you want to make it purple, the purple wins since the style cascaded down to the last one.

To add the CSS to the MySpace layout, like the matt site on MySpace.com, the code must be added to the about me section while editing the profile. This will change the appearance of your MySpace profile the way you want it.
