The minimal MySpace DIV overlay hack
Of late, there seems to be a surge in MySpace related profile hackery. For reasons unknown to me, the desire to create an appealing MySpace profile continues to be a much discussed topic in the blogosphere. For that reason, I felt it time to join the party. As a reminder of sorts, I felt it my duty to share a series of tutorials which I put together providing MySpace’rs with the knowledge necessary to bypass the default eyesore.
- Part One: The real trick is covering the default with a clean canvas to work with. We can’t have MySpaceagelo’s without a clean medium to work with right?
- Part Two: Once you’ve covered the default profile, you’ll probably want to stick some sort of navigation back into your profile.
- Part Three: The long winding list of comments stretching most profile pages to some ‘xxx’ width by 23402 pixels definitely gets in the way of presenting an appealing profile. Let’s hide the comments from view and keep a nice comment box for others to use.
- Part Four: For the CSS unitiated, background-colors are your friend. Background-color. Not background-image. No one wants to have a seizure looking at a tiled animated background.
