    Will You Add? - Did You Tweak Your MySpace Profile into a Neo-Cubist Train Wreck?

    Persist Or Perish, The Choice Is Yours: Learn The Rules Of Online Business
    Everybody wants quick profits. The phenomenon is more prevalent on the net as compared to offline business. The situation is only worsened by those ever coming awe inspiring success stories where previously ‘a nobody’ made millions overnight. While these stories may invigorate the desire to be rich overnight, there is always ‘the other side’ that is never brought into the picture and never asked too.Until and unless you are highly gifted or have a knack of making money the quick profits are no more than folklore. If you are new to online business you must first understand the rule of the business before fueling the e

    Made over by a neo-cubist web designer and then served up with a side order of ugly?

    And let me guess... You fired off half a dozen emails to various MySpace Resource sites asking for help and nobody responded. Right?

    Wanna know why?

    Well before explaining, it might help to recap your journey into the world of MySpace:

    First off, you heard everybody talking a blue streak about MySpace so you decided to set yourself up a page. You filled in a form, chose yourself a username, took care of a few other sundry signup details and boom.. One lean mean MySpace profile.

    Then you hit the Browse button and started poring into other profiles and immediately noticed that everybody and their monkey's uncle had their page customized with something you figured out was called a 'myspace layout'. So then you raced off to Google and did a search for 'myspace layouts' or most likely prepended the phrase with the word 'free' because well, hey.. you don't want to pay for nuttin', right?

    And you searched. (And searched and searched.) Finally --after spending two hours slogging through a putrefying swamp of prepubescent stinkbombs-- you found a MySpace layout you liked (sorta). And you installed it by copy-and-pasting the code into the 'About Me' text box on your 'Edit Profile' screen and, voil?, one pimped-out MySpace page just like everybody else.

    Well almost.

    It seems that you still had the default MySpace contact table, extended network box and online now icon. And then you noticed people also had their pages decked out with slideshows, jukeboxes and all kinds of other cool bells and whistles. So you said, "Hey I want me some of that too!"

    So you started cherrypicking through every MySpace resource site this side of Pluto looking for every MySpace tweak you could lay your mouse finger on and started copy-and-pasting code into your 'About Me' box like there was no tomorrow. And after you were done, you loaded up your profile for a quick look-see and whammo!...

    One train wreck to go, please...

    Does that about sum things up?

    Why They Don't Answer Your Emails

    Okay now the reason why MySpace sites seldom respond to your emails is because they know that you did something like I just described above. And they don't want to spend the next hour (strike that, several hours) analyzing all the tweak codes you added to your layout looking for the one or more snippets of someone else's code that is making your page go haywire.

    Now here's the deal. Basically what you're trying to do with your MySpace page is take many different snippets of CSS coding, HTML coding and Flash coding written by complete strangers, pile them all into one web page and expect it to work perfectly every time. This just ain't gonna happen. Sorry. And this is especially true if you have no experience with web coding and you have a propensity to delete bits of previously added code when you copy-and-paste new stuff in.

    How to Debug a MySpace Profile on the Fly

    If you want to avoid that train wreck, here's the proper way to customize a MySpace profile.

    2. Click 'Save All Changes' and then click on 'View Profile' to verify that your MySpace page displays the default layout normally.
    3. Find a MySpace layout you like, copy-and-paste that layout code (AND NOTHING ELSE) into the 'About Me' text box on your 'Edit Profile' screen.

    Real Estate Letters; Low Cost, High Profitability
    Mailing real estate letters is one of the best real estate marketing strategies a new, or even veteran agent for that matter, can employ. Really, is there anything easier than mailing letters?So, it shouldn’t surprise you when I say my success as a real estate sales person was largely due to my letter writing campaigns. But success wasn’t instant. In fact, it took a year or so to incorporate all of the elements that good letters should have.Next, it took me a while to develop the rhythm of when to mail, what to say, how long my letters should be, how often to mail and other things like that. But once I fig

  • Click 'Save All Changes' and then click on 'View Profile' to verify that your MySpace page displays the default layout normally.
  • Find a MySpace layout you like, copy-and-paste that layout code (AND NOTHING ELSE) into the 'About Me' text box on your 'Edit Profile' screen.

  • Once everything is hunky-dory, open up a plain text editor (like Windows Notepad), copy-and-paste that layout code into your text editor and save it as a file on your computer called about_me.txt.

    • Done.

    NOW you can start adding stuff to your MySpace page. Every time you add a snippet of code to tweak something, DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE until you click on the 'Save All Changes' button and then view your profile to see if your page is still displaying normally. If it isn't displaying normally then you know that the code you just added is the green weenie. Get rid of that code and try something else. If your page displays normally then save all the code in your 'About Me' text box to the about_me.txt file on your computer.

    And that's it, ladies and gentlemen.

    Just build your page slowly, check it every step of the way so that you can pinpoint troublespots. The same process can be applied when you're adding slideshows, music codes, custom HTML codes, whatever.

    1. Add the code.
    2. Check your page.
    3. Save the code to your computer.
    4. Rinse.
    5. Repeat.

    It's that simple.
