Learning the correct way how to hide your top friends on MySpace can be a great tool for your profile. Whether you use your MySpace profile for personal or public use, you might eventually want to start making some more advanced design choices. Hiding your top friends can do a few things, whether it makes design flow better so that your profile stands out in order to better promote your music or product or it maybe it's simply a choice to give you a higher degree of privacy. Removing the top friends list takes a little bit of HTML knowledge, but shouldn't be too much for any computer novice.

Things you'll need:

  • Computer with internet access
  • MySpace account
  • Basic HTML knowledge
  1. Edit profile. The first step is to go to where you normally edit your MySpace profile. If you've never made any changes to your profile's design, you might not know that most of the design tweaks you can make actually happen in the basic profile editor. This is because MySpace uses HTML, which is the basic design language that most websites use. This gives you a good amount of power with how you want to make your profile look. You can use any box you like to place the code to hide your top friends on MySpace. Most people suggest that you use the same box for everything if you can.
  2. The code. Find a text box you would like to keep any code changes you make and insert the following: <style type="text/css">
    td.text td.text  table, td.text td.text table br, td.text td.text table .orangetext15, td.text td.text .redlink, td.text td.text span.btext {display:none;}
    td.text td.text table {background-color:transparent;}
    td.text td.text table td, td.text td.text table {height:0;padding:0;border:0;}
    td.text td.text table table td {padding:3;}
    td.text td.text table table br {display:inline;}
    </style>
  3. Save it. After you have the code entered, you can hit save and check out your newly edited profile!
