anyone got good tutorials on how to customize a myspace page?
I don't want a crappy 17 year old girl profile editor. I'm thinking along the lines of a lot of musician/band pages that you see. My company wants theirs redone and I'm rusty with html/css.
I want to use myspace's new profile 2.0 editor. Bump down the profile and have a splash image up top. nothing too hard just need to be pointed in the right direction...

in the past i've just found one i liked and grabbed the css, then modded it for my needs. was kind of a trial and error thing, but wasn't too hard.
firebug is a huuge help.

finding a page you like then stealing their CSS is a great way to do it.
worth a look

Fouthgen - May as weel clear your schedule for the next week or so. Myspace is written so terribly that you will not believe how hard it is to modify some CSS. If is locked down in safe mode so you can't target IDs, and most items don't even have class names, or they share class names with something totally different. You end up writing a lot of body table tr td div tr td p a{color:#000;}
God be with you, sir.

yeah that's what i'm afraid of TResudek. On top of that I'm just really rusty with html/css. It would be like a 3 week project it feels like.

Honestly, it isn't even like writing CSS. I write CSS day and night and i recently took a project that required a myspace layout. Busted my brain. If I were you, I'd jack some code from one of the cheesy myspace editors and change it a tad to make it look tolerable. Don't shoot for the stars.

Modifying MySpace is a huge pain, so some work will be needed.

Wow, I just looked at those links. I guess more templates came out after I modified my layout, haha. It took me hours and hours to get it right, and the ad seems to be peeping through again.

I found this one and the "source code" through one of the links that 23kon provided.... http://www.myspace.com/valentout…
That's really all I'm going for right now. I'll just change out all the images and tweak the type and I should be fine. It'll be a thousand times better than what is currently up.
