In honor of re-doing all 10 of my current MySpace layout codes to better work with MySpace.com’s STUPID changes to their already STUPID coding, I decided to create my own MySpace/Wordpress integration system to put my live previews back onto my site. To all you non-uber-geeks, this means that all I have to do now is take the exact same code I would put in the “About Me” section of a real MySpace profile (basically) and stick it into a box in my site, and it (basically) works the exact same way, AND it automatically inserts the code for other people to copy and paste into their profiles.

In honor of my magnificent programming accomplishment, I’ve created a new tutorial (my second ever so forgive me if it sucks) so that other people might be able to do the same. I call it Creating MySpace Layout Previews with WordPress Pages. Original, I know. I’m open to suggestions on changing it. Thanks. If you have any problems with following it–which I’m more than sure you will because even I barely understand it and I wrote it–let me know so I can make improvements and clarifications.

Two cool features that I use are not included in the tutorial because it’s already complicated enough, but if you manage to tackle what’s there already and you’re interested in the bonuses, let me know and I’ll add them as Extras at the bottom of the page. The first is nothing too terribly special, I just have a small thumbnail of the layout being previewed show as the Profile Picture and two Friend Pictures. The second, and WAY cooler, is that if you leave a comment on my root MySpace Layouts page, it’ll show up in the comments section of all my MySpace previews. I know, I’m jealous of me too.

Man I hate MySpace.

If I had a dime for everytime I said “MySpace” in this post…I’d be $.90 richer…

Anyway, I also made new 150×150px “thumbnails” for each of the layouts, which are used on the main page as well. No, I’m not going to say that blasted evil word again.

At least that nightmare is finally over, and I can finally try to finish making my new Heath Ledger layout for said demonic-site-profiles. The problem is I need a brush. One stinking brush. It’s missing one little flourish to give it the feel I want. I’m going to end up putting the layout up with the empty void intact, and if any brush-knowledgeable person happens by it and says “I have/know the perfect brush for you!”, I will cherish you dearly. And your brush.

After nearly 5 hours of trying to get that gibberish tutorial put together, leaving me red-eyed and sleepy-fied at 3:00AM, thank you, you’re welcome, and I am going to bed, goodnight.

[EDIT] OMGOSH AND I SAW THE HANNAH MONTANA 3-D MOVIE THINGY THIS WEEK AND IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!
