A really easy way to add a background to your cre8buzz page is to do a "myspace layout" google search.
Find a style you like and get the code. Copy the top portion of the code that contains the tags "<style>" and ends with "</style>" INCLUDING those tags.
Then simply go to your cre8buzz page, click on edit profile. Then go down the right sidebar and click Create/edit custom theme. I pasted the code at the very top of the code box.
Save and view your profile.
Also, if you look at my page you will notice I managed to load slide shows and movies that are already hosted else where (Photobucket, Slideshow and YouTube). If you have a blog and have experience with embedding codes on your page or blog posts, this should be pretty easy for you. Just find the code to the movie/slide show you want to put on your page, the code should include the word embed in the beginning.
Copy it and paste into the Create/edit custom theme window and save. The different sections of your cre8buzz page are clearly marked in this window, so if you decide that you want to add some video just above "your Name" Video gallery header on your page, just open the Create/edit custom theme window and scroll down the code until you find "<cre8Buzz-my-video />" and insert the embed code to your hosted video/slide show.
That's it... have fun!

Hah! Apparently I'm not very patient. It took a second to load in the background. :)

Unfortunately, the MySpace codes that are so plentiful on the internet aren't going to work very well here on cre8buzz, although at least the page background will usually work. Because the fonts and other page images remain unchanged, you're rarely going to get optimum results from the MySpace method. For those looking for a simple copy & paste solution, I've added a few more custom Cre8Buzz themes to the gallery on my profile. Those who have some familiarity with HTML and CSS should be able to modify those to use any background images they like. If you're the type who'd rather avoid tinkering with the code, I'm open to suggestions for future theme updates.

whynotonemore, I'm sorry... I tried fiddling around with adding more code from a myspace layout. I tried every font color value and none of them changed a bit. I'm going to keep trying, I'll let you know if I can find something.
