HYVES

Profile pimpen on #HYVES and #FACEBOOK alternative 'Socialize', how do you do that?


You used to be a member of Hyves? If so, you know how much fun it was to spend hours fiddling and freubel with your profile. You could pimp your profile and create a beautiful, personal styled page. But unfortunately, Hyves is no longer and has become an online gaming website for several years, where there is not much to pimp!

But, now there is Socialize ... a very nice alternative to Hyves and Facebook, where all old Hyvers of yesteryear, can be outdated again.

However, the profile pimping on Socialize works very differently than it used to be on Hyves. Logical, because it's a different system with a different script, with very different possibilities!

Profile pimpen on Socialize is done by means of CSS. ( What is CSS? ) CSS is an abbreviation for 'Cascading Style Sheets', and is a programming language that allows you to define the style of a web page. Now, on Socialize you can use CSS to give your profile page a completely different style, and the nice thing about the CSS feature is that you can really give every element on the page a style you want. Because of the CSS capability, you are not stuck to the standard layout you get with your Socialize profile!

How to change the style of your webpage with CSS?

True, you learn not to work with CSS so 1, 2, 3. Personally, it took me years to learn how to work with the debugger that is standard in Google Chrome and the Mozilla Firefox browser. CSS is quite a complicated programming language, but if you put a little effort into it, you will discover how fun and addictive it is to pimp your profile with CSS, because EVERYTHING is possible. For example, with CSS you can put your timeline LEFT if you want, or completely RIGHT if you like it better.
