First things first. Unfortunately MySpace allows people with Forrest Gump IQ's to customize their page. If you don't have prior HTML knowledge then use one of those websites with customized layouts or just stop it, seriously. I am tired of going to a page that has 400 photobucket images, 2 slideshows, 3 YouTube videos and snowflakes or dollar signs going down the page! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Personally, I follow the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) rule. But if you want to do all that it's fine, but FOR REAL now, can you align your page so I don't have a horizontal and veritcal scrollbar? Think about it for a second...we have to scroll down a little...then scroll over, scroll down then over...down and over. That sh*t is annoying as hell and I'm telling you from a nerd's prospective--you are putting yourself out there as an idiot. More importantly, though, it's annoying to everyone.
I say again, align your page. If you don't know how then just get rid of some things. I think we can all do without the images of movie posters to every movie you like and the album covers of your favorite albums. Unless it's a home video, you're most likely wasting your time putting up videos from YouTube. I guarantee you 95% of the people that go to your page don't even play them. In fact, you're probably the only one.
It's probably a good idea to not have a background that's the same color as your font.
Glitter graphics are not cool.
Friend's Quizzes are not cute. What in the world is wrong with you? Who tests their friends? Hmm, okay, I'm going to put down some questions about my favorite soda and how I like my chicken cooked. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Do you thrive off of grading how much your friends know about you? Billy, you got a 40%. You don't know me well enough
! "How did you not know I wear Curious Perfume!? zOmg! We aren't friends anymore!" Could you imagine handing out quizzes to your friends in real life? Stop it. Shoot yourself.
I can't think of anything harsh enough to say if you took a test to see what Sex In The City character you are most like (this also includes the Star Wars one, too). More so, if you were actually excited/shocked with the results to that--you're life is nothing. "OMG!!! I'M MOST LIKE Jar Jar Binx...I KNEW it!!"
Why is your picture gallery full of random ass images? Great, you like tennis balls. But WHY THE FUCK is it in your picture gallery? That's not what it's for.
If you have games on your profile--thanks, I actually like playing those.
If you are sending spam messages and bulletins, change your password. Don't ask it to be explained what happened, you probably won't understand anyway. Just do it. I am tired of receiving messages offering me free ringtones and penis enlargements. I am being entirely serious here...this spam thing has gotten out of hand. It will be the death of MySpace. I have already deleted at least 30 friends because they haven't changed their password. This isn't a threat (as if you'd care)...I'm just saying it's annoying. Period.
And one last thing: can you please stop treating bulletins like e-mail forwards? This isn't 1998. You should realize by now that nothing bad is going to happen to you if you don't forward the bulletin in 10 minutes. Please. Stop. It. You are being retarded. Also, you are lowering my IQ. If you want to tell me you have new pictures up, that is fine. If you want to tell me there's a party this weekend, that is fine. If you wan't to tell me you are bored, I guess that's fine. If you want me to do a 50 First's survey, that is not fine. And if you post more than 5 bulletins a day, I'll probably do something illegal to you.
If you follow these guidelines, you should have a healthy and longlasting MySpace career!
PS: Thank God for Facebook.
