Just about everyone who uses a computer these days knows what a cursor is. That little blinking line you see on your screen, if it hasn’t been changed to another one that is available on your system, is a cursor. The tiny image of an arrow, a question mark, or a hand that you see when you move your mouse to certain area of the screen is also considered a cursor. If you sometimes wish there were more colorful and fun cursors for your computer, you’re not alone. But, anyone who has a MySpace account will be happy to learn that there are not just attractive custom cursors available to them for download, but animated cursors as well.
You have probably seen these cursors as you make your way around MySpace and look at other people’s profiles. And if you haven’t seen them, you will be surprised and delighted when you do. These animated cursors make for cool MySpace layouts that you will be proud of! Quite a few people make use of these cursors, as there are some to suit just about every taste, and because the cursor is one of the easiest parts of the MySpace profile to change.
Young people like male teens go for icons like animated skulls, aliens, cartoon and video game characters, and dragons. Teen girls enjoy icons like animated roses, hearts, fairies, dollies and cats. Adults seem to like animated cursors that are Gothic, patriotic, or make reference to a certain sports team, television show or musical group. Of course, these are just suggestions. There are many more categories of cursors to choose from that would blend in seamlessly with many of the free MySpace layouts that are available for you to download online.
The best way for you to find these animated cursors is to do a simple web search, using your favorite search engine. You will find so many of these cursors that you are going to have a hard time choosing just one! However, you can always re-visit your favorite cursor site when you get ready for a new animated cursor. If you like, you can narrow down your search a bit by searching for the specific type of cursor you have in mind.
Now that you have chosen the animated cursor that you want to use on your profile page first, it’s time to learn what you need to do in order to get it to show up on your page. Don’t be afraid to try this, because it is truly the easiest aspect of your profile page that you can change! First of all, you need to copy the HTML code for the animated cursor. You’ll see it underneath or to the right or left of the photo of the cursor. Usually, if you just run your mouse pointer over the code, it will automatically be highlighted and ready for you to copy. Otherwise, just copy and paste as you normally do.
With the copied code in your clipboard, navigate to your MySpace profile page. This is possibly the easiest part of the whole procedure. Why is this so easy? Because you can place – and paste – the code into any of the text boxes that you see on your profile editing page. The About Me text box is a popular one, but the code can successfully go in any of them. Save your changes, and go check out the new animated cursors blinking on your profile!
