unfortunitely myspace doesnt support javascript and thats the only way that a redirect code will work.

i aslo tryed

CODE

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content ="5;URL=www.freewebs.com/mikeheath/index.htm">

but your out of luck it looks like myspace doesnt support meta tags either

I thought this deserved a reply. I too was not satisfied with the MySpace blogging capabilities so thought it would be great if I could redirect viewers to my real blog. There is a simple trick. On the "Customize My Blog" page, in the "Your Own Header HTML" textbox, simply paste the meta refresh tag:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://YOUR_URL">

Worked for me. If this does not work, in the "Site Name" textbox under "Custom Header", you can break the Title tag and add your meta tag there. Example Title:

This is my blog"/><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://YOUR_URL

This way, you would end the <TITLE> tag and start your meta tag and the MySpace script would end your meta tag. This also worked for me.

Perhaps some people knew this already, but I couldn't find anything about a working redirect anywhere. Then I read that you can get cookie info, etc. by ending table tags and such in these textboxes. Hope this helps someone. Cheers.

This is kind of late, but just a little FYI. There is no frecking way to redirect from your myspace. I have tried everything. All meta tags are blocked, so if you enter <meta> it will change it into "...". Javascript is banned, so you cant use that. PHP or any other server scripting languages are not installed for users. I even tried to use Flash, but to embed the flash page that will redirect you need the <object> tag, it is also blocked. So its pretty stupid, but what can you do.
