Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Sign up for a free account

Go to friendrewind.com/register.php and create a free account. No invite code, no email verification hassle, no payment.

2

Open the layout builder

From your profile, click Edit Profile then the Layouts tab, or navigate directly to /layouts/create.php to open the visual builder. You can also skip this step and apply a community-made layout from /layouts/.

3

Pick a layout template or start blank

Browse the community layout gallery and preview designs. One-click apply any layout that fits your vibe — scene, gothic, kawaii, Y2K, anime, minimalist, and more. To start from scratch, open the Visual Builder tab.

4

Customize colors and backgrounds

In the Visual Builder, pick your page background color or image, tweak header gradients, choose text colors, and set the background for your content boxes. The preview updates live as you change settings.

5

Add a custom font and cursor

Pick from the built-in Google Fonts list or paste a custom font URL. For retro vibes, add a custom cursor URL from cursors-4u.net or similar archives.

6

Set a profile song

Go to the Music section and search the library or pick one of your own uploads. Set it as your profile song — it plays automatically when visitors arrive.

7

Add blinkies to your About Me

Open the blinkie creator at /blinkie-creator to make animated blinkie banners, then copy the embed code into your About Me, interests, or any custom HTML field on your profile.

8

Pick your Top 8 friends

From your profile, click Edit Top 8 and drag the eight friends you want to feature. Yes, this starts drama. That is the point.

9

Save and share

Click Save Layout. Your customizations are applied instantly. Share your profile URL with friends, paste it on other sites, or link it from your Instagram bio. Your profile belongs to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know HTML or CSS to customize my profile?
No. FriendRewind has a visual builder with no-code sliders for colors, fonts, backgrounds, and animations. Only advanced users need to write CSS. You can also apply community-made layouts with one click.
Can I paste CSS from SpaceHey or old MySpace?
Yes. FriendRewind uses compatible class names so most SpaceHey and classic MySpace CSS pastes in unchanged. Some tweaks may be needed for specific selectors.
How long does it take to customize a profile?
About 15 minutes for a basic customization — pick a layout, set a song, add blinkies, configure Top 8. A fully custom CSS design can take as long as you want.
Can I edit my layout later?
Yes. Go to My Layouts, hit Edit on any saved layout, and the visual builder reopens with every setting exactly where you left it.
