While I have a MySpace account, I adhere more closely to the Facebook network. I have been tempted, however to ‘customize’ my space. Does it work off of a simple CSS file?

My sentiments exactly in regards to this whole MySpace phenomenon. I don't considere myself a web guru but if I were to provide an example of a horrifying webpages, without a doubt I would selected an MySpace page, excluding the ones that have been hacked like yours and mine....lol.

Derek: Thanks for the input. It's funny because I've been reading your site lately, enjoying your posts and web design methodologies, etc, so kudos to a great site Derek. Also, your Myspace layout is pretty swank man. Of course, I love the simplicity of it as well as hiding typical elements of Myspace (i.e. comments, recent blog entries, etc.), which to me should be saved for another section altogether. In the future I might use your work as a base, so thanks for that. Justin: Hack away Justin! Oh, and be sure to add me as a friend and I'll humor you with my bulletin/blog post prowess, oh yes! Chris: Thanks! Admittedly, a lot of the legwork was superbly accomplished by Mike D (I'm seeing a lot of variations on this theme on MySpace), but I did manage to infuse personal elements on the layout itself.

You’ve inspired me. Or at least it was the last straw. Time to hack me together a MySpace page.

You're right about looking beyond the negative aspects of MySpace and enjoying the service for what it does. Connecting physical and online contacts. At one point in time I was all about adding contacts to my profile. Recently I decided that it was best to leave the servive alone instead turning around to help users. I say down the the default profile and yes to a clean canvas to work with. There are definitely downsides to both. I was going to inquire about a 9rules MySpace profile "ring" but I heard that most users prefer Facebook. Nonetheless, my profile

Actually I had to search for all of my friends using their newfangled “Classmate” search engine.

As for the link, it’s fixed. Thanks for pointing that out. Heaven knows, Mike needs more traffic. ;)
