Staying Safe On The Internet
While this isn't the definitive guide to staying safe on the Internet, these are some helpful tips. You must take some personal responsibility for your privacy.
Maintain you privacy. As a rule when joining a website like MiComunidad.com immediately modify your account settings. There is no harm in changing every setting to private. Then, only your friends can see your personal information.
Never give any personal information to anyone you don't know.
Never... Never... Never... Meet anyone you don't know but only messaged online. I'm sure you've heard the news stories and too many times they end in tragedy.
Don't add anyone to your friends list unless you know them. You may message people on the site and they can message you. Remember, unless you know them or a friend knows them, they could be an 80-year old man posing as a 14-year old girl.
Set your account so someone will need to know either your email address or last name to even invite you to be their friend.
If anyone is annoying you or you just want to stop getting messages from someone, just go to their profile and block them.
If you upload photos, be sure there isn't information in them that will lead someone to a place you frequent. An example is a school t-shirt. If you want to upload the photo, use a program like Microsoft Paint and paint over the school logo.
We hope you've found this information helpful. Be safe!
How do we set up our own backgrounds?
To add a background to your profile:
Go to your favorite search engine and search for "myspace backgrounds".
Select a website that offers backgrounds.
Select the background you want and on that background's page you'll find Layout Code to copy and paste. Copy this code into your clipboard.
In your MiComunidad area, click on "Edit Profile".
Choose a field you're not going to use like television, movies, or other and paste the Layout Code into that field.
At the bottom of the page, click on "Edit Interests and Personality" and your finished.
Enjoy!
