The best that can be done is to stick with the defaults as I did:
http://www.myspace.com/rp_photo The defaults blow. Its just a nasty pissy environment.
Part of what I hate about is you visit somebody's page and you want to view pix so you click on that. It says hey, you have to be logged on to see that. You log in and then it doesnt return you to the page you wanted to see. You're COMPLETELY LOST! MySpace SUCKS.

Dude that's the internet in general. Don't pin it on Myspace. Yeah, you're right.
But MySpace seems to be the Capitol, the Mecca, the Holy Grail for that type o' stuff.
Even the local Fox TV station often reports about dangerous and illegal stuff that goes on at MySpace... and Fox OWNS Myspace!
(On the other hand, maybe that's how they try to attract more people).

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! I agree...I try to keep mine as simple as possible.

Oh my GOD! I didnt know you could do a page on MySpace that didnt cause brain hemmorhages and bleeding eyeballs. So it really is completely clueless designers. Huh. Learn something new every day.
Good job. Looks almost pro. Ah! Didn't even realize I'd been linked already... (grin)
Thanks, you two!

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... Nope, what I'm doing is probably considered really hacky... but it works!
This is the key:
table table td.text table td.text tbody table tbody td table td { display: none; }
div div table td td font { visibility: hidden; }
Hide all their stuff first, then use div tags to manually position and display all of your new stuff exactly how you want it.

i think that the music player is great--it's a fantastic help promotionally. i think it's quite flattering as well when i open somebody's page and they've got one of my songs playing. you've always got the option of turning off the volume. i do think it's irritating that there are people with such a raunchy sense of aesthetics--mangled page dimensions from looooooooooooong words, huge images, shitty HTML coding...flashing/sparkly banners and images...falling hearts/stars/whatever...the general employment of a host of neon colours set against a black background...stacks upon stacks of music videos...etc. it's hard for me to take somebody seriously if they've got a raunchy myspace page. www.myspace.com/marketzero

now we are critiquing myspace pages? lol cool...

http://www.myspace.com/kyssmesl0wly On a 20" monitor at 1024X768 I STILL have to scroll side to side to see your whole page. That's ridiculous. It should fit with no side scrolling.
That flashing set of colored strips in the background is distracting & liabke to give someone an epileptic fit.
You've got a bunch of images hosted on an unreliable source (angelfire) so they're missing.
Some of the icons that are there are blinky & hard to read.
Pale green text on a white background=eyestrain & hard to read.
Get RID of the music player.

Let's hope that MM never allows as much leeway in page design in order to protect the web-design challenged from themselves! I could not agree more. I agree with all you said - and I hate the music. Myspace just screams UNPROFESSIONAL. For the life of me, I don't see why anyone would like from MM to Myspace. It adds no value to a model's port in any way, shape, or form. Lost it!

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..........

Well I'd agree with the OP. Most of these 'hacked' pages are abominations. Although branding is important, I tried to keep mine simple. Chris ::rev

(On the other hand, maybe that's how they try to attract more people). But there were also new stories about how bbs chatrooms, aol chatroom, instant messaging, and being on the internet in general has risk for dangerous and illegal stuff. Myspace is just the new thing to blame

i didn't take the time to read allll the posts, but a think that will help MANY of you people is to get the browser FIREFOX. if you guys are using internet explorer still, you need to stop as soon as possible. go to www.mozilla.com and download firefox. its available for mac or pc. after you get that, you can get a thing called an extension and you can disable all the media on myspace.... like video and audio players (all of em). you can also get one to disable images from loading and advertisements. myspace still runs like crap, and always will, but it does help a little bit. www.myspace.com/timmelideo www.myspace.com/endswell

Damn I would be honored to know my space had induced vomiting, or possibly a loosening of the bowels. In-fucking-credible!
