Putting Pictures & Music Onto Profiles!!
Jan 07, 2006 | 6:29PM

I have had alot of requests asking how to put pictures and music on to profiles so I have typed out the instructions for you!!

Good Luck!!

Pictures.

1. Find a picture you like right click and "Save To Computer"  put it into a folder onto your computer.

2. Go to you profile and click "Photo Albums"  make a new album if u haven't got one. ( just click on what album u like and name it  then click, "Ok/Create")

3. Go into that photo album and there is a orange button at the top saying "add photo" click it.  This will bring up another box with 5 lines in it all of them saying "Browse" (on the right hand side).

4. Click the 1st "Browse" and search through your folders for the picture you want. When you find it, double click the picture this will put the pictures path link into the browse box.  Carry on down till you have filled all the browses up or u have found the picture/s you want and just click "OK" at the bottom.

5. As long as your pictures aren't to big (in KB) for the albums they should go in to your photo album waiting approval by the grab team, so that everyone else can see them.  You can put a caption under your picture if you choose to but you dont have to!

6. Click the "Profile" tab at the top of the page, and go to "About Me"  there is a big box which u can add music and text and pictures. Make sure your cursor is flashing in this box.  When the cursor is flashing it activates the tool bar at the top of the box.  In the middle of that toolbar is a "Square" which looks like a blue/green picture in a frame.

7. Click that "Square" and a little box pops open.  This is a direct link to your photo albums.  At the top of the photos/pictures is 2 little blue arrows 1 pointing left and 1 pointing right.  These arrows allow you to scroll through your albums.

8. When you find the picture/photo you want click "OK" and it will put it into your "about me" box.

9. If you are having a song on your profile you can have up to a max of 7 pics depending on their sizes.  When you have the pictures you want on your "about me" box, you can change their postition by holding down your left click on your mouse and dragging them around the box then releasing the left click when u are happy about the positioning.

10. When you are happy with the way it all looks scroll to the very bottom of the page and click "Save Changes" then it will save changes and take you to the top of the page and you can "click here" to view your profile how everyone else will see it. 

11. If you want changes to the position just go back to "about me" fiddle around wif the postions but always remember to click "save changes" so then you can see what it looks like!!

Tip: If a picture is going on your main profile page you don't have to wait for approval from grab,  you can put it straight from your album on to your profile!!

Warning: if it is deemed not suitable grab will remove the picture leaving you with just a red X in it's place!!

Music

1. Firstly open a separate page for the Cuddley's Music Codes and go pick the song u want. (click on someone's profile who has music and the link on there.)

2. Go to "About Me" in your profile.  Remove any old cuddleys codes if there are any on there. The easiest way to do this is to get to the end of the "Cuddles Music Codes" link and click return so u have a full line of space between that and your pictures then highlight and delete the cuddleys link.  Then click "<>" to turn the page to the HTML text and see if there is any of the link left before the space if so delete it. Now you are ready to input new song code.

3. The song you want on the cuddles music page will have a small white box next to it with code in it. Put your cursor so it flashes at the begining or end of the code. Hold down your Left click and move the cursor so that the entire code is highlighted in blue.

4. Then release the left click it should all still remain blue.  Then Right click your mouse and push "Copy".  This will put the code into your mouse.

5. Go to "About Me" and click " <> "on the right hand side of the tool bar this changes all the pictures into HTML text.

6. Click you cursor at the very begining of the page so it flashes. Then Right click and push "Paste" this should now put the cuddleys music code into your About Me box.

7. Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click "Save Changes" this will save your changes and put you at the top of the page.  Then click (if you want to see your changes)"Click Here" and view your main profile page.

Tip: Please note it is a good idea to make sure to have your Mute turned off and your speakers turned on and up to a level where you will be able to hear the music.  When you are on your main profile page you need to scroll down a little bit to activate/set off the music!!! (you wouldnt be the 1st person who couldnt hear the music because their speakers were turned off!)__________________________________________

If you have any problems following these instructions please feel free to send me a message on grab and I will try and help you out a little bit more!!

Give it a try yourself 1st!! But if you do end up messing your whole page up I can help rectify it for you!!

Hope this helps you in your quest to enhance your profiles!!
