CUSTOMIZE YOUR MULTIPLY PAGE (with tools like those on 360)

Many users have had problems customizing their pages. A lot of new users left, dejected, thinking they had to learn HTML and CSS to customize their page. While those tools are available, there is a much simpler way of doing it.

The "Custom Colors" tool is just like the one on 360. I'll explain how to get you there, and if you've customized your page on 360, then you should know the rest.

First, choose "Customize My Site" under your headshot.

When the yellow bar appears at the top of your page,
select "Choose a Theme."

Choose the "Custome Colors" theme.

Then will appear a page like this. It is essentially the same as on 360.

If you're unsure of what you are choosing colors for, look at the sample picture above. This is from my previous theme. It was powder blue with red accent colors. I designed it to match a picture of Marilyn Monroe in a powder blue dress with bright red lipstick. The font was a light skin color. Check out what groupings I used, ie, which groups of colors are black, blue, tan, etc. If you are uncomfortable with customization, choose appropriate colors and add them in using the pattern I have above (for example, where there's blue, use all one color, black, all another.)

Also, if you can't find good colors, click on the color splotch and then drag around to find a color. If you have a photo editing program, like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP, you can pull colors out of the photo using the dabber tool. I use Photoshop to do that. You can find Photoshop here. Note that it costs $999. More reasonable is Photoshop Elements, which I have. The price of that is $99. GIMP, though, is free (found here.)
