resource files on myspace, using notepad on your computer to update a "news" section Options

[nkordyjaka]

does anyone know if you can code myspace to refer to a file (eg. notepad document) that's saved to an FTP site to update your notes.

Would allow you to change the news section on your myspace simply by changing the notepad document on your computer and uploading it to your ftp site. your myspace site would refer to that file for it's text. Posible??

Also, it seems that it's almost impossible to have a myspace music player on your band's page if your using a div layout approach. however bandspace-designed sites are using them fine. any ideas why everyone has so much trouble (including myself)??

Thanks!

FTP definitely does not transfer well with MySpace. There is no "auto-updating" from a text file.

It's not impossible to get a music player for a band layout. Just post your code and we can help you.

okay cool. thought it might be easier if it could be done. here's the code i've been working with. i've seen more complicated code for the music player but they haven't worked either.
the code for the music player is at the bottom. the cleverly-named test page url is www.myspace.com/testingpages123
