Nauseating MySpace page designs!
As a photographer, I use MySpace to communicate with many of my models. Some are there more often than here. I will maintain civil tones, but some of the MySpace page designs are chaotic, cluttered, and vomit-inducing. Often, it is impossible to even find the places that one must click to send mail, request friends, etc. And don't get me started on the automatically-playing music! Let's hope that MM never allows as much leeway in page design in order to protect the web-design challenged from themselves! Jul 03 06 01:31 pm Link Jul 03 06 01:33 pm Link It blows. No offense. Since all MySpace pages look about as heinous, is it even technically possible to create a decent looking page on there? Jul 03 06 01:51 pm Link I agree, most of the pages take foreverrrrrr to load, and Im on broadband. One guy asked to add me since he was advertising his clothing line or something, but took 10 mins just for everything ha had on his page to show up.... Its crazy I tell you. My page is simple and to the point about my photography. I still have the default white background lol... Anything else is too much.... but this Myspace page is pretty cool.......... http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu … d=84502464 Jul 03 06 01:59 pm Link I know what you mean. I get add requests on there, click to see who the person is, and then my browser crashes from all of the useless blinking crap they have on their pages. That's an automatic 'deny'.

Its annoying, Thats why I surf with my volume on mute. http://www.myspace.com/cocofromhouston Jul 03 06 02:07 pm Link With some painstaking CSS, they don't have to be so obnoxious... unfortunately, most of the people on the site probably don't know any HTML, let alone anything that's come along since. http://www.myspace.com/josienutter Oh, and in case people are wondering, I used these profiles to learn what I needed for mine: (1) (2) (3) Jul 03 06 02:07 pm Link My Space pages are so obnoxious, that I vowed to never go to one again. Jul 03 06 02:10 pm Link I can't stand myspace and all the vomit inducing crap people put on their pages. It's so incredibly annoying. I've had several models contact me through myspace and when I look at their page its so bad I can't help but think to myself "this person can't possibly be a good model due to her bad taste!!" Jul 03 06 02:12 pm Link I have served MySpace a Notice Of Infringement (NOI) on 7 different occasions. My weblogs will show a MySpace user hotlinked to an image of mine, as their wallpaper. I used to switch the image, but now I just totally block MySpace in my .htaccess file I will have nothing to do with MySpace. Jul 03 06 02:20 pm Link Most myspace pages are pretty terrible. My myspace pet peeves are: - The automatic music. - Pages where the layout is warped because of far too many tacky pictures. - Obnoxiously "pimped" out pages. I've tried to keep my to a plain color and the writting small. And I try to keep my friends list to people I know. At the moment i'm working on learning CSS to furthur imporve it. http://www.myspace.com/aenux Jul 03 06 02:22 pm Link They obviously have no talent designing web pages, which is to be expected, because anyone can put up a page.

So it really is completely clueless designers. Huh. Learn something new every day. Jul 03 06 02:30 pm Link funny this came up, because I was going to spend the rest of the day redoing mine. it was made for firefox and is jacked in IE www.myspace.com/angeltaramodel does it blow too? Jul 03 06 02:41 pm Link Jul 03 06 02:46 pm Link Here's mine...i still have some redecorating to do...but I usually go with pretty basic stuff. I hate tacky spaces. http://www.myspace.com/mymonologue Jul 03 06 02:49 pm Link Jul 03 06 02:50 pm Link Josie Nutter wrote: Josie, did you use an overlay? And if so, do you have any idea, off the top of your head, why my overlay isn't working properly in IE? It looks great in Firefox but in IE, it's off...

Jul 03 06 02:56 pm Link I think mine is alright, pretty basic, with a little twist of me, www.myspace.com/anthonycicc Jul 03 06 02:58 pm Link I think mine is alright, pretty basic, with a little twist of me, www.myspace.com/anthonycicc Jul 03 06 02:58 pm Link Venomiss wrote: Yep, the page starts loading, your mouse starts moving weirdly, and you think "Quick! Save the Computer! Hit Alt-F4 before it crashes!" Jul 03 06 02:59 pm Link rp_photo wrote: and I thought it just me with my meds kicking in. Jul 03 06 03:04 pm Link I thought after I got use to/over the ugly green color of DeviantArt.com that nothing would get to me...until i logged onto my first MySpace profile. Man oh man.

Jul 03 06 03:04 pm Link Claudia and Angel are hot enough to compensate  Mine is the hum-drum basic because a few of my friends kids were on it - you'll see one of them wanted me to make my myspace "look pretty" LOL I like the ones you can actually read the text and the music has got to go (or at least be off by default) http://www.myspace.com/photosbycoleman forgot the link Jul 03 06 03:06 pm Link Hey Al? How's it been? Not to hijack but Al was the first photographer to shoot me, 2 years ago this month. (not sure the date) LOL actually, since I have a record of all my emails since 2004, it was Monday, July 5th, 2004! LOL. In two days, it will have been 2 years for me.... Jul 03 06 03:09 pm Link the funny thing is, I have knowledge of html, java, and css, but I just love to make my page all crazy like me!  Jul 03 06 03:09 pm Link Ok I love www.myspace.com/angeltaramodel This myspace profile! What about mine www.myspace.com/megumi08 Jul 03 06 03:11 pm Link DarioImpiniPhotography wrote: The best that can be done is to stick with the defaults as I did: Jul 03 06 03:15 pm Link Exotic Megumi wrote: thanks, and ooooh, I REALLY like your page!! Very nice! Jul 03 06 03:19 pm Link Claudia wrote: Get rid of the music player. Jul 03 06 03:52 pm Link They're almost universally horrible I also surf with volume on mute & sunglasses to handle the switch to normal colors after an all-black page Jul 03 06 03:54 pm Link now we are critiquing myspace pages? lol cool... me next, me next! http://www.myspace.com/kyssmesl0wly Jul 03 06 03:54 pm Link rp_photo wrote: Some???

Jul 03 06 03:57 pm Link Since we're critiquing Myspace pages, I think there's probably no doubt whatsoever that this person's site is by far the coolest- www.myspace.com/emeraldblaze or maybe not Jul 03 06 04:21 pm Link SayCheeZ! wrote: Dude that's the internet in general.
