So You Want A MySpace Profile That’s A Little Different?
There aren’t too many places online where you can make friends with people all over the world, network with those who have similar interests, and entertain yourself with music and videos of all descriptions. MySpace is one of those places! This social networking site has an incredible influence on all types of communication, the business world, and society as a whole. Popular culture is also strongly influenced by what people see and hear on MySpace, especially those under the age of 30.
Everyone wants an interesting MySpace profile. That’s part of the fun of being a member of the site. Looking through the many web sites that feature colourful layouts, glittery text, surveys, and other applications is a treat in itself! People take a lot of time and care in choosing just what they want their profile to look like. What might look good to them this week may not be at all what is wanted by them on their profile next week, and so this choosing of profile items is an ongoing thing for a good many MySpace users.
There is a neat way to change around your profile and have it be just different enough to be memorable. With this fix, your layout is made up of three big scrollboxes. These boxes are set up to have a photo at the top and the bottom, with bulleted information in between the photos. Three boxes are usually enough to hold the usual number of photos and the amount of information that normally shows up on a profile. It looks totally cool and very tidy as well! To try this out, here is the code:
<div style=”width:250px;
height:310px;
overflow:auto;
border-width:2px;
border-color:000000;
border-style:solid;”>
text or images go here
</div>
You can change the height and width numbers until you get the scrollbox to be the size that works best for you.
Your MySpace profile is your online presence. People who don’t know you in person are going to judge you extensively by what you include on your profile. You may want to be careful what kind of photos you post, as you really don’t ever know who will be looking at you via your profile. The same goes for the information that is posted in your blog. Don’t place anything there that could possibly jeopardize your job. Yes, people have actually lost their jobs because of posts about their activities that delve a little too deeply into their personal lives. Photos of themselves in rather incriminating acts have also been used against people by their employers.
You do have the option of making your blog posts private, as well as your photos, while leaving the rest of your profile available for anyone to view. Be aware that even if you hide your information and photos, you still will have people who are going to wonder what you have to hide! It’s a good idea in this case to have a personal MySpace account and profile, and another MySpace account and profile that has been created especially for the eyes of your business associates. Then, of course, you will have to remember not to give out your personal MySpace URL to anyone but friends and family.
