Changement de Robe (themepost) uploaded by Shane69 [ view full ] Contest Directions This is a themed contest, please do not edit the themepost. They say there's nothing new in fashion and it's true.. styles constantly repeat themselves. Even today's hip-hop style has been done before. Saggy pants? Done in 16th century France during the 'sansbelt' period. Heavy gold and diamond jewelry? The Spanish conquistadors were there first. Doo rags?, hats on sideways? Pirates have been there, done that. Heck, I bet even the old carriages had spinners on their wheels. The rules of this contest are thus: show us today's big bling, hip culture as seen thru the eyes of yesteryear's classic artists. Have fun, be creative!, keep it clean, follow the guidelines please, be careful to avoid using cliches . You have 48 hours to submit so make them sparkle! Special thanks to Shane69 for the great themepost! ====================== New to Worth1000? Have a question? Be sure to visit here.

Cool Stuff For MySpace
.derkilicious | MySpace - “Online Now” .derkilicious Blog The Dirt Wordpress Search « 30Gigs.com - A whole lot o’ email space | Home | links for 2005-10-10 » MySpace - “Online Now” Update 11/11: Part 1: MySpace DIV overlay [The base] A few months ago a friend of mine asked me to register for MySpace . I had never found a real use for social networking services [read MySpace & Friendster ]. Nonetheless, I gave in and registered to provide my friend with the sheer joy of adding another “friend” to her contact list. In one month I’ve managed to collect, hold your breath… 10 contacts! That’s right, 10! I guess you can say I choose my “online friends” wisely? It’s OK though. I’ve managed to customize my page with one main goal in mind: readability! Immediately after registering and editing my profile, I soon realized what a pain in the ass it was going to be to customize my profile. There was no way that I would leave my page as-is with the default MySpace eyesore. Surprisingly, I discovered that other MySpace users had managed to fuglify (f*ckin-uglify) the default layout even more. Aside from changing colors and fonts, there is really no other flexibility offered to users. We can hide certain sections of our profiles, but the overall structure must remain the same. Tim Bezinger’s MySpace profile (screenshot on ScreenSpire ) is something to strive for. I understand that everyone has their own personal preferences and tastes. I understand that what may not appeal to me, may just in fact appeal to someone else. I’m not going to judge individual profiles, I’m simply making a broad observation of the current problems I’ve witnessed on a few pages I’ve managed to navigate away from (without my browser crashing). Who in their right mind believes that transparent tables and divs with white text over bright background images looks good!? Who? Looks great and all if the user is hoping that their friends don’t mind squinting and rubbing their eyes after every two words. Couple that with scrolling marquees [of both letters and images] (I hate these with a passion), flashing text, pulsing titles, dancing smilies, and embedded videos / MP3’s which happen to stall / crash / freeze browsers before the pages even load. I feel lucky that I’ve even managed to get up and walk away from some of the pages I’ve seen. I swear, older users may risk experiencing an epileptic seizure of sorts if they view pages on MySpace. Services like MySpace do have their upsides. Unfortunately, I can’t say I’ve experienced any of them. One benefit of MySpace is that users are forced to expose themselves to HTML / CSS code. It’s obvious that most do not understand what they’re copying and pasting. Instead of reading through the classes and trying to make sense of what’s going on, most users copy and paste HTML / CSS directly into their profiles ignoring the fact that the end result could possibly blind readers (I’m not kidding. Since registering, I think my eyesight has worsened). A few font tags to dictate font size and style are fine. A few color changes to remove the default blue and white is fine. A few images here and there are fine. What isn’t fine is forcing “friends” to use their mouse cursor to highlight text in order to read entries. What isn’t fine is forcing “friends” to curve their necks into an unnatural position in order to differentiate text from background images. Most users think: “Hey! Look, I changed my background image to this cool tropical beach, added some scrolling text, and changed my font to this illegible curvy font that my “friends” will pull their hair out over while reading”. It’s all about individuality I guess? Oh and I’m not even going to rant about how ridiculously stressing it is to get the right classes. While my profile looks fine in Firefox, there are minor problems in IE. Considering IE is the more popular browser, it irks me knowing that my profile is somewhat broken in IE. There’s no denying that some pages are ridiculous to read. End rant.

Posted October 15, 2005, 12:39 pm 5 .derek punsalan says: @Greg: I hate that! I hate the even shorter hand versions that some indivuals take the time to tap out. It is a lot more efficient to type like a sane person. I h8 how ppl typ lIk DIS. It mAk me wnt 2 kick dem dwn d stairs. I got that from transl8it . If the page is down Google / Yahoo search for transl8it and view the cached page. Posted October 15, 2005, 12:52 pm 6 Myles says: I agree with almost everything on here. From what I’ve seen, about 90% of all MySpace pages have the crappiest layouts around. Sometimes it’s not so much the layout’s though - it’s that the user has around 2-3 music video’s on their page, and they all use Windows Media Player and seem to all play automatically. Therefore, I’m not just wasting bandwidth, but my ears are burning from the crappy songs. I also agree with Derek that tAlkInG lIkE tHiS iSNT COol; it’s a pain to look at. MySpace is a great service, but people abuse it. Posted October 15, 2005, 8:43 pm 7 .derek punsalan says: I actually use adblock to block content from most of the more common music video servers. I admit I listen to some of the artists that users post on their profiles, but having the clips automatically open is a hinderance. If I happen to stumble on a profile which loads slower than I would like it to, the first thing I do is frantically scan the page for a mp3 / video playback control to turn the clip off.

Posted October 17, 2005, 9:07 pm 9 fireflyoftheearth says: I’m curious… I’ve designed a decent number of websites… and modified many things like livejournal to my personal liking. I cannot for my life figure out where in the heck I’m supposed to put css code to change my profile… wanna share the knowledge with someone who actually wants to change my eyesore into not-such-an-eyesore? I’ve nearly given up out of sheer frustration with the cumbersome-ness of the site… Posted October 18, 2005, 3:45 pm 10 .derek punsalan says: I paste my CSS into the ‘About Me’ section of the profile editor: /* Insert your CSS between the tags */ Posted October 18, 2005, 4:54 pm 11 bluesaze says: wow that http://www.myspace.com/timbenzinger was Awesome. I wonder when they will let us customize our blogs on wordpress. Its such a pity that we got a powerful blogging tool and we can only stick with lousy templates. MMM How would it be if we combined blogs and networking ……. just a idea Posted October 19, 2005, 6:25 am 12 .derek punsalan says: In a way wordpress.com does combine blogs with networking. When you send an invite out to someone, you can opt to have their blog linked in your blogroll. If you visit the Dashboard you’ll notice that you can easily browse through everyone elses blogs. Wordpress.com is a more mature version of Xanga. If you consider Xanga to be a certain type of blog, then wordpress.com can be considered a certain type of social networking. Posted October 19, 2005, 7:00 am 13 bluesaze says: I know what you are sayin and I agree with it. But the current Blog being provided by wordpress.com doesnt have the excat flexibility. Since its experimental we might have to wait and see Posted October 19, 2005, 7:06 am 14 .derek punsalan says: We’ll definitely have to wait and see what tricks the Wordpress.com team has up their sleeves. They’ve recently added the option to import Blogger.com posts which should appeal to a huge audience. Blogger has a large user base - with many utilizing the service for social networking - and I imagine Wordpress.com will roll out new feature to keep everyone happy. If you’re referring to some sort of “contact” or “friends” list being created on Wordpress.com, I doubt anything like that will find it’s way into the service. That’s what the Blogrolls are for. Posted October 19, 2005, 7:37 am 15 fireflyoftheearth says: Thanks… I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to put anything on myspace. heh. now, maybe I can not only change the colors, but do cool stuff too Thanks again! Posted October 19, 2005, 5:05 pm 16 third says: I completely agree with you. But i use xanga , so sites generally aren’t as intrusive. And that’s how i learned how to use css, and kept my html skills up to par. It’s good practice for those of us who don’t use their html skills on an average basis. Plus, i can’t figure out how to skin wordpress myself. Posted October 22, 2005, 12:06 pm 17 .derek punsalan says: Wordpress.com is not yet offering the option for users to customize their pages with CSS. Posted October 22, 2005, 12:08 pm 18 coffeebarchick says: Well said. The only thing that has ever made my faithful laptop crash is a myspace profile - a nauseating concoction of bright white text against a multi-colored background that tried to load to some high pitched screaming that was supposed to be music. Posted October 23, 2005, 11:58 am 19 Andrew says: God, I had a myspace page once… I don’t any more… nuff said… Posted October 23, 2005, 7:40 pm 20 DKasler says: My Space = The Devil Really though, I feel that “My Space” and the like are places for people who think AOL IS the Internet, and Itunes is where all the music files are saved. Posted October 26, 2005, 9:53 am 21 .derek punsalan says: DKasler: I think you’re viewpoint is applicable for a portion of MySpace - and similar networking service - users. I’m sure your assumption is defendable based on the content and profiles you may have witnessed for yourself. However, there are many internet users who use these types of networking services for actual “networking” purposes [both professional and casual]. Check out LinkedIn.com for an example of the real world potential of online networking. Posted October 26, 2005, 11:13 am 22 lil` BEEZY HU0NG says: YEAH THIS IS HECCA GAY HERE. WHERE`S ALL THE C0DE`S YUU BEEZY`s?! Posted November 2, 2005, 5:03 pm 23 .derek punsalan says: hecca? gay? beezy? Wtf! Is “hecca” the new “hella”? “beezy” the new “breezy”? Why don’t you take the time to go to school, read a little, and introduce yourself to a little HTML / CSS? Posted November 2, 2005, 5:26 pm 24 jonthejester says: Heh, I’m impressed you even have the patience to mangle through that stuff. I have not the patience…I just tell everyone to go to my blog and leave it at tit. Who the heck does this MySpace does anyway, and is this guy INSANE??!!! I mean really, this whole ‘ghetto’ thing is a joke…whatever comment he made about it…this guy needs to be booted out! Get someone in there with an eye and an expertise for crying out loud! Geez. Sorry, had to rant there O:-). I just can’t help but keep saying, I’m impressed. You’re the man with MySpace customizations. Posted November 3, 2005, 4:14 pm 25 eddielu says: Just stumbled upon your website and just want to let you know about my website that is coming soon. www.yourmyspace.com We will be doing custom myspace profiles. Dont want to spam or anything just letting you know. So far your profile looks great. Posted November 4, 2005, 1:58 pm 26 .derek punsalan says: eddielu: Judging by the single banner floating on your “coming soon” page I’m hoping that you plan on offering something different from what the other profile generating sites offer. Posted November 4, 2005, 7:21 pm 27 eddielu says: Oh for sure actually we may have 1 or 2 at most free layouts and we will be charging from $10-40 for custom layouts. These will be full on layouts. If your at all interested in making any and selling it through our website when we launch please feel free to contact me. Email- edwardtronglu[at]gmail.com Posted November 4, 2005, 7:44 pm 28 Nick Poskitt says: I have to say, that Tim guy’s layout took me by suprise. Good job. Posted November 6, 2005, 12:03 pm 29 john says: i heard that www.Myspace-Help.com is going to start haveing Onlinenow Icons for your myspace profile Posted November 6, 2005, 4:43 pm 30 thisisme says: what do you think of this myspace? http://www.myspace.com/silverstars ? it’s IE. any good? Posted November 7, 2005, 2:01 am 31 Serenity says: I would like to state my opinion on the myspace topic! Myspace was invented for the purpose of networking. I, myself have a myspace profile and I am on it ever oppurtunity I get. I would have to strongly disagree with the person “Myles” when they said that “90% of the pages on myspace have the crappiest layouts around!” I think that they are wrong because I have seen many stupendous myspace layouts. I also have fun on myspace and I think that all you people who want to talk trash about it can go fuck them selves!!!!!!!!!! Posted November 7, 2005, 1:32 pm 32 joe bob says: wow…strong words for someone who calls them self “serenity” lol Posted November 8, 2005, 2:14 pm 33 weiran says: I have to say I’m pretty impressed. It is very readable, and quite an ashetically pleasing design, however I find the highlighted text rather distracting and makes the text harder to read. While I do have a MySpace account, I never got round to doing anything with it. How easy is it to modify the code and get it to spew out your custom code? Posted November 10, 2005, 5:14 pm 34 .derek punsalan says: Inserting CSS and html is simple. You enter your code in the about me section and MySpace inserts the code as your new profile.

Barberman’s My Space Posted November 10, 2005, 11:46 pm 36 .derek punsalan says: The ads are still visible. I cropped them out of the screenshots above. Posted November 10, 2005, 11:56 pm 37 Jack says: I think you guys are right I hate looking at a bad layout… But what the hell it is not like I am going to read that persons page I am just going to hit end leave my comment and get the hell out of there. So who cares some layouts suck? At least mine dosn’t… If you must, see for your self. Posted November 22, 2005, 6:10 pm 38 Lex says: Wow Tim’s site sets a new standard, I had always thought that playing with backgrounds alone could make MySpace bearable …. Wow Jack .. did you see Tim’s layout.. and you say at least your’s doesn’t ? Anyway, maybe I’ll make custom online gif’s for the non AOL/iTunes set -ha! Posted November 28, 2005, 10:34 pm 39 Samuel says: You should spend less time in front of a computer worrying about what a layout looks like. Even if its ugly, simplicity sells. You post things about yourself, if people care, and find your friends. What do you want? Its not like I see you making money off of something like myspace Posted December 10, 2005, 12:27 pm 40 .derek punsalan says: was this comment addressed towards me? Even if its ugly, simplicity sells you’re right. simplicity does sell. i know this and so does the rest of the design world out there. if you know anything about layouts, then you know that anything done on myspace is a considerable hack. this post, this blurb… is my personal view on the matter. where does money come into play? if you actually read and understood the post then you would see that i am not annoyed with the default myspace layout as opposed to the overly bloated profile that people are using. it is and always has been about accessibility. some of the myspace profiles out there are pure bloat and slow to load. if you don’t have a problem with it, that’s fine. Posted December 10, 2005, 4:12 pm 41 Myspace is for fun says: Just to state myspace.com is for expressing your SELF!!!.Who cares if bob and jane don’t like my profile.Do you really think we care what you think about our page?maybe some people ,but from my view i say hell no.I have fun with my page,i mess around with my codes all the time.Not to impress others ,but to challenge myself on learning the formats and such.Its also nice to chat with friends and family on there or just chill and play a game,or even check up on bands you like.Maybe see a different side of a friend,because they can finally express what they like or what they feel.These sites are actually good for some people.People who maybe don’t have any friends,Don’t have lifes,Sad,depressed,shy and whatever else.You people only look at the down side of everything.Stop thinking of yourself and let people have fun.Stop bitching about a site that lets people be them selfs!!!. Posted January 3, 2006, 10:34 pm 42 .derek says: stop bitching? it’s a personal opinion. thanks for your sharing yours. how am i thinking about myself? from my point of view, the pages that look as though they are haphazardly thrown together do not prove someone is “learning”. it proves that the majority of users cut n’ paste whatever they find on the net. there is no “individuality” on these sites. everyone if using some sort of template or code that is posted on the net and pasted into these so-called “custom profiles” you speak of.
