How to Put Pictures on MySpace
From LoveToKnow SocialNetworking
How to put pictures on MySpace is a common question for people who just started designing their profile or blog. After getting your page the way you like it, you may want to add some photos to your album or to your page itself. Uploading them onto MySpace is easy and takes very little time.
Why Upload Pictures to MySpace?
Displaying snapshots of yourself, friends and family is a great way to show off the ones you care about the most. People enjoy looking at their friends' albums and all of the crazy things they have been up to lately. This is especially useful for people who live far away from their family. You can show them how your children are growing and even write about it in the blog section. It's your very own personal website. And it's free.
Secure and Private Albums
You won't have to worry about the world seeing your albums. You can change the settings in your profile so they are only accessible to friends on your list. This makes your albums secure and private.
The only personal image that will be visible to people on the Internet is your profile picture. This is next to your user name and appears when someone searches for you. Be sure to choose one that you do not mind everyone seeing. If you would rather not have your photo on it, you can always upload a design or other image.
How to Put Pictures on MySpace
Here are instructions on how to put pictures on MySpace:
- Log in to your account at the homepage.
- Look at the top right hand area on your profile and you will see "Pictures."
- On the next screen, you will see "Upload Photos" in red on the top left hand side.
- If this is the first time you have uploaded pictures, you will have to download the program that allows it to upload photos from your computer. A pop up window will come up, press "Ok".
- If it says that you need to install ActiveX, accept this by choosing "Install ActiveX."
- Another pop up box will come up asking you if you would like to install ActiveX, press "Install."
- After the install is complete, you will see your file folders on the left side of the screen and the available images on the right side.
- Navigate to the folder on the left side where images are located that you want to upload.
- When you see your images on the right, check off the boxes of the ones you want to send to your space, by clicking on each box.
- If you would like to have all of them in the folder uploaded, simply press "SELECT ALL" at the top.
- After selecting the ones you want, choose an album to place them in, found in the drop down menu, or create a new album.
- Press upload.
- After the photos have been uploaded, you can either write in a caption for each one or you can press "Skip this step". If you skip this step, you can always go back in the album and write in captions later. If you want to write them in immediately, simply type in what you would like in the caption box and press, "Done editing."
- Click on your album in your photo section and you will see your pictures!
Tips for Uploading Pictures to MySpace
- If you have done this before you will not have to go through the first few steps to install ActiveX. You should immediately see the navigation tool when you click on the upload photos section.
- Sometimes the screen will freeze and continue to say it is uploading even though it is already complete. Simply refresh your screen and your photos should be up and ready for captions.
- For large amounts of images, it may take a few minutes for them to upload to MySpace so you will have to be patient.
- To keep things organized, name your albums appropriately to reflect which snapshots you have placed in them. This will make it easier on you to organize and simple for your friends and family to find the ones they would like to view.
- Have fun and do not forget to update them frequently!
