Myspace Hide Codes - Hide What you Want, When You Want

By Robin Burrows

For those who have concern with having privacy on MySpace, there are several simple codes that you can utilize to shield your identity from strangers. While many groups, models, and bands are on MySpace to promote their careers, some individuals still prefer to have their pages hidden and protected. Fortunately there are many ways to keep a MySpace profile private.

You probably already know that you can set your page preference on 'private'. Your profile will be hidden for the most part by people who aren't on your friends list, although anyone can still see your contact table. If you'd prefer to not have strangers sending you a friend request or a PM, there are 'hide contact table codes' on MySpace graphics sites.

If you don't want to keep your entire profile private, but still would like to hide your top 8 friends, there are 'hide friends' codes you can use as well. This will protect the identities of your top friends from people you don't know or like. It will also keep you from having to pick and choose the 'top 8' amongst your friends.

It is also possible to hide your online status to keep everyone from knowing when exactly you're online. You can edit your MySpace privacy settings or copy and paste a 'hide status' code from a MySpace resources site. This way the 'online now' status won't ever show up on your profile. You can find and use codes that will hide your last login time as well. Not only can you stay invisible while surfing MySpace, but you can keep anyone from knowing exactly the last time you were on.

There are also codes you can use to hide your 'about me' section and 'profile details'. You can easily hide your personal information from strangers. You could also use codes to make your own 'about me' graphics if you don't like the format that MySpace uses. Some people like filling out 'about me' surveys and putting them up on their MySpace to go with their own unique layout.

You can also apply a MySpace code to hide your comments. If you have comments from some friends that you'd rather your other friends not see, a 'hide comments' code will come in handy. Your MySpace page will also load a lot more quickly especially if you hide all of the large pictures some people like to leave for comments.

Now you know the many options available in protecting your MySpace identity. You can still hide parts of your MySpace page while keeping your profile unique. Now you can have fun on MySpace with your friends without having to worry about strangers looking at your profile. - 16463
