The Ultimate MySpace Layout

As much as people like to bash myspace and its "crappy" designs, myspace was one of the first profile sites that actually let people customize. Sure there are tons of bad layouts out there, but let's not forget that myspace inspired and continually inspires many aspiring web designers. Believe it or not, there ARE quality designs out there, and websites providing quality layout codes like createblog.com.

Just my two cents.

Shunning Myspace is so old.

lol - actually sticking up for Myspace, shunning it, then telling people you are tired of shunning it is rather old too.

Ah, so true.

Always a good time, spurning MySpace. Worst web design on the web. L2 code, Rupert.

I have actually been using something like this for quite a while for new releases. Myspace is a good way to get traffic.

body {
margin-top: 1500em;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: 000; /*important not to use # */
background-image: url('yourimage.gif');
background-position: top center; /* for some reason, center center no longer works */
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

</style>

and you can just place a nice holder/coming soon page.

Example.

Also, please not you have to take out the comments, or at least the #. Myspace has filters that associate # with programming languages/hacks, I believe and will strip it from your code. And technically, the display: none; is a breach of myspace's conditions and terms, it states you are not allowed to HIDE ads. I simply move them.

Just a little shameless promoting. Works in FF and IE, I don't have a mac to test on.

Just another thing, and I am sure most of you have it, but you need something to disable the styles in order to actually save your profile like that. Web Developer works wonders.

@cpoteet

I think you've just entered into a cycle of web evilness. Notes. Digging. Notes. Digging. Better be careful or you'll fall deeper down the hole you've Dugg yourself. ;-)

(Yes, all that for a bad pun. I really need to pass out for about a week!)

I prefer my liberal use of the <blink> tag and <marquee> wherever I can use it. I'm doing my part to help keep Myspace the cesspool that it is. :D
