Best Way To Compose a Melody Over Chords?

Hey all,

I'm considerably new to musical composition, and was wondering what the best way is to compose a melody, taking into account that I've already laid down a chord progresison.

Last time, I just used the notes of the chord to try and make a melody. It worked alright, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to do it. Can I use notes from a scale? (I did this for a solo, with just random notes from the scale, and it sounded great - would this also work for the melody?)
