Hey I'm kinda new to myspace and I was just wondering what's the html code to change the background colour and also if you want to change it to a picture you have?

I tried that but it didn't work, I put the code in the About Me thing...

The web design forums at myspace are very good and you can find a stylesheet maker which enables you to change the styles to your whole myspace profile without knowing too much about the code.

To change the background on myspace you need to add

Code:
<style>
body
{
background: black;
}

</style>

The above example sets the background to black. Obviously if you did that you'd want the text to be white (or a light colour) so you would add

Code:
<style>
body
{
background: black;
color: white;
}

</style>

This only changes the background colour of the page. Your myspace profile is built up using tables. This is the point I recommend you read the myspace forum topics on profile design because the structure is quite involved.

For example there are 4 nested tables used to display the about me section so you would have to add

Code:
<style>
table table table table
{
background: black;
}

</style>

to make the background of the about me section black. More annoying is the fact that they allow CSS but then don't give any of the tables ID names or Classes.

you can just make it simpler by using the <body> tag and use it like
<body bgcolor='color name'> or <body bgcolor="#000000">
