Matching Up Myspace
Despite all of the bad things about Myspace, there really are a few good things. Even non-computer savy folks can easily create their own little space on the web, customize it with some garish animated .gifs and begin to contact people from many years gone by. I had noticed a lot of people that I knew from both college and high school were on the site so I created my Myspace page a little while back for just that reason. I really have enjoyed getting back in contact with old friends I hadn’t spoke to in almost 10 years. Myspace seems to have managed to bring lots and lots of people together.
With my latest redesign of this website I also decided to dive into the awful coding that Myspace is famous for and make my page on Myspace a little bit nicer and hopefully match up with my current design for this website. After getting some help from a few profile tutorials around the web I finally managed to accomplish my goal. My Myspace page now matches up quite nicely to my website and doesn’t have the horrible default Myspace look.
Fancy sharing with us any of the myspace tutorials you used? I have to say trawling through myspace’s code to find out what “blacktext12″ means isn’t my ideal night in…
