Subscribing To Myspace Remix

I never really established some way to subscribe to the website, mainly because I never do much subscribing myself, and I really don’t think about it. Oh well.
You are now able to subscribe to the website via RSS, officially at: http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyspaceDesignsRemixed
Stay tuned, a lot of blogging and myspace designing going on today.

Myspace Profile 2.0 Tool: CSS Edit 2.0

I’ve neve been a huge fan of Macrabbit’s CSS Edit, but it seems to work great when you are working on myspace layouts. Just open said layout in the CSS Edit 2.0 inspector, and start creating new styles.
I’ve noticed some inconsistences, most importantly that CSS Edit automatically jumps for ID’s instead of classes, but it’s [...]

Myspace 2.0 Layouts Creation Slow, Buggy

Hey, It’s not like we didn’t know about this already.
The editor is just super buggy at the moment. It would be a lot more beneficial if:

The Editor was coded with AJAX, so it would auto load when we add CSS
The preview below was the actual layout, and not the ‘preview layout’

Here’s what I’m working on [...]

Removing Rounded Corners

Unfortunately Myspace didn’t supply us with a completely style-less theme, so we have to do that ourselves. One of the biggest steps is to remove the rounded corners from the base stylesheet:
div.moduleTop,
div.moduleTop div,
div.moduleBottom,
div.moduleBottom div { background-color: transparent; background-image: none; font-size:0px; }
div.moduleTop div div { height:5px; border-top: 0px; margin: 0px 5px; }
div.moduleBottom div div { height:5px; [...]

What DOESN’T work

So far the list shows…

Any form of linking stylesheets seems to break, linking or @import.
There’s still no support for Javascript (I believe this is a Terms of Use issue to avoid exploits though)
Although the CSS box in advanced theming operates well, inputting HTML in the normal “About Me” and “Interests” is still buggy and requires [...]

Myspace Profile’s Now Uses CSS Reset

If you haven’t checked out the new code in the profiles already, Myspace has implemented a CSS Reset (Eric Meyers flavor if I’m right):

html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
small, strike, strong, [...]

What is Myspace Designs Remixed?

This is a little makeshift blog i’ve put together to document the new features and abilities of the Myspace Profile 2.0 for Professional Myspace Designers, and soon, to feature new designs.
As many professional designers know, designing myspace profiles have been a pain in the rear for years now. However, yesterday myspace released the 2.0 Profile [...]
