An easy way to enhance your MySpace layout is with creative uses of that simple, Online Now status icon. Online Now! icons are the small logos placed on a MySpace layout that lets a viewer know your online status. If you are online, a basic icon will simply flash the words “Online Now”. Having this feature as part of a MySpace layout is helpful in that it allows you and fellow MySpace users to connect even more quickly.

The problem with the basic Online Now icon is it does little to personalize your Myspace layout. MySpace layouts are meant to be a means of expressing your personality online. And why shouldn’t this extend to your Online Now! icon?

Of course, there’s no reason this shouldn’t extend to Online Now! icons and now, with the rapidly increasing numbers of unique icons, you can use this simple feature to further enhance your MySpace layouts. Instead of just being online, your MySpace layout can now let people know your online status with such sayings as “Roar”, “Pimping Now”, “Call Me” and “Being Beachy”. Each of these unique icons uses a combination of glitter graphics, animations and other styles to draw attention not only to your online status, but also to your Myspace layout.

To add an Online Now! icons to your MySpace layout, all you have to do is copy the code from a MySpace layouts provider website and paste it into your MySpace layout profile. Once it is saved, all of your cyber friends will be able to tell if you’re there, busy or even “drunk” – all with just a quick glance at your MySpace layout.
