Miss the days of myspace? Wanna ROFL and LMAO with all your online friends? I've made it pretty easy to do. Just download this zip file, extract it to a folder named "myspace", and upload the entire folder onto your neocities. Now you can go to yourusername.neocities.org/myspace to see your myspace page. By default the page is set up for me but you can easily customize your profile by editing the index.html file in the myspace folder. Once you've created a cool page you should join Toadsbey's MySpace Group to find other cool profiles and help others find you! Thanks Toad!
Q&A:
Do I need programming skills to edit my myspace page?
No, all of the customization options are organized at the top of the html page and clearly labeled, so just fill in the blanks with your own info. Just like with the classic myspace pages, having programming skills will certainly help you have an epic myspace page but you can still have a really great personalized page with no programming skills at all.
Can I use custom themes like the ones from pimp-my-profile.com?
Yes! These myspace pages were made by altering the source code from the original myspace with theme compatibility in mind. In the index.html file you'll find the About Me section. Simply copy your theme code from the website of your choice and paste it into this section. I can't wait to see your themes!
Can you put a song on your myspace page?
Sort of. I recreated the old myspace player (my favorite iteration of it) and it can play any mp3 file you link to it. Unfortunately neocities doesn't allow mp3 files to be uploaded so you have to link to an mp3 file that's hosted on another website. If you're doing this on a squarespace site or other personal site then this won't be an issue. Luckily the default page links to a Fall Out Boy song, so if you like Fall Out Boy, you're sort of in luck I guess?
Is this somehow better than other MySpace clones and reboots like SpaceHey?
Not necessarily. SpaceHey, along with many other myspace clones (some of which have already gone the way of the MySpace) are usually a lot closer to the original MySpace experience, and potentially easier to use. The point of having a decentralized myspace is simply so that you're not relying on another company to keep your page alive. Our pages can easily migrate to any web hosting service and can be backed up, in it's entirety on your computer or phone forever. No more logging in after 2 years to check on your page and find out that the myspace clone you were using went down the drain and took your profile with it.
Can you add friends?You can though it isn't as easy as with other services. This myspace clone is much more about form than function, however you can add other friends that are using any type of myspace clone, however you're currently limited to 8 friends (your top 8). In order to add them you have to copy and paste the url for their profile picture, and the url for their page into your index.html file under the friends section.
Can I comment on other people's walls? Can other people comment on mine?
Sadly, no. This is, once again a case of form over function. You can add as many fake comments to your page as you like, but you won't get the rush of checking your myspace page to see if anyone posted on your wall. The reason for this is that this myspace clone was developed for neocities, which only allows for static websites, meaning no php, which would be necessary to allow friends to comment on your page, or even to have a real friends list system. I may someday come up with a non-static plugin to add to this myspace clone to give it this functionality but it would be reliant on a service run by me and prone to the same issue of one day being discontinued and you lose all your comments and friends.
The use of social networking sites (SNSs) has proliferated throughout the last several years for all populations, but especially adolescents. Media reports have also identified several instances in which adolescents broadcast their suicidal behaviors via the Internet and/or SNSs. Despite the increase in the usage of SNSs, there has been little research conducted on how adolescents use SNSs to communicate these behaviors. The objective of this study was to explore the ways in which adolescents use MySpace to comment on their suicidal thoughts and intentions. Content analysis was used to identify suicidal statements from public profiles on MySpace. The original sample consisted of 1,038 comments, made by young people ages 13-24 years old. The final sample resulted in 64 comments, where Potential Suicidality was identified. Through content analysis, the following subthemes (within the Potential Suicidality theme) were found: Relationships, Mental Health, Substance Use/Abuse, Method of Suicide, and Statements without Context. Examples and discussion for each subtheme are identified. The comments referenced a significant amount of hopelessness, despair, and desperation. This study provides support that adolescents use public Web sites to display comments about their suicidal thoughts, behaviors, and possible intentions. Future research is warranted to explore the relationship between at-risk behaviors and suicidality as expressed on SNSs.
FYI: Be prepared to turn off comments here, you are going to get hit with a ton of myspace pedestrian traffic and they are going to leave stupid worthless comments, I saw it happen to thebignoob when keegan posted his layout.
So I was wondering what it would take to write a greasemonkey script to make myspace pages less offensive. Then I realized someone probably had, so I Googled greasemonkey myspace that led to:
Not bad!
Nicely done. I passionately hate MySpace because of how unreadable and messy it is. As a college student, I prefer Facebook which is extremely clean and simple.
One of my favorite bands has a terrible myspace site that you can bairly read =user.viewprofile&friendid=9159474
Jesus. Thank you so much. I considered man-handling the myspace code, but after looking at the page source, I began trembling in fear. No longer will I be the last person on the planet to hack their myspace page in the most hideous and disgusting way possible!
This is what i was looking for. I do css dev work where I work at and I have tweaked my myspace the best i could. This gives me a better insight as I am an aspiring designer and also to create kick ass css code.
I began reading this, keen and interested in improving my myspace account. ^^ Looking at the scrollbar to the right, and not knowing that there were comments on the side I almost left thinking the tutorial was too long.
Great idea, love it. Just reading through the comments and saw a few people posting other MySpace examples. I came accross a pretty interesting design about a week ago. myspace.com/godsgirls. This is more than likely NSFW so visit at your own risk.
So now that I have examined the uses of myspace I also need to look at why myspace sucks so much. Now for about a week I had one of those ugly looking profiles that most teens had. You know three songs, six or seven videos, alpha tables, a background with the same color as the text and pictures that are so large they force you to scroll for five minutes to piece together what the picture looks like because its too damn big for you to see it all at once. Eventually I think the web designer in me wanted to scream in agony, but after seeing so many hideous profiles I think most teenagers are use to ugly profiles. I see them all the time; in fact once I read a profile that made my eyes burn for about five minutes. It was like staring at the sun. Here the beauty is:
Eventually though a new website will be start (my the creator of myspace or someone else) that is much more functional and has the same services as myspace, but until then we are stuck with the web designers nightmare. By the way here my profile:
