to select an element of your choice.
there will be a bounding box to show you exactly what you are selecting.

2. find its class name

the class name will be in the element

in this case, its "box blurbs".

3. apply some styles

open the CSS box in your MySpace profile and enter some code to style your desired element.

for example, i could do this:

.box.blurbs {
    background: red;
} 

which would give this element a red background.
note that i wrote ".box.blurbs" instead of "box blurbs" and the reason is that "box blurbs" is not a valid css selector, so I had to make it so.

4. you win

congratulations, if you have done this correctly, something about your page is now different.
