FriendID? (myspace div overlays) Options

[micron]

For those who don't know what FriendID is, it's your unique myspace ID. To grab your friendID, go here.

Applying div overlay layouts are complicated since you need to remember to replace XXXXXXXX with your FriendID before you save it on myspace where the links are converted to msplinks. I've updated the layout codes page with a simple form that will do this for you automagically. What you need to do now is put in your friend id on the form (figure 1) and click on update code. This should make the process of applying divs much less tedious, although you will still need to manually edit the fillers. Maybe in the future I'll automate this entire process. In the meantime, enjoy not having to edit those pesky links!

For designers, if you previously submitted div overlays and did not use XXXXXXXX (must be EXACTLY 8 X's, case insensitive), please check your layouts to make sure that it's compatible with the new system. I ran some automated queries to do most of the conversion, but it doesn't hurt to check.

what if your layouts say to replace the "your-friend-id" with your friend id
should we change them to the x's?
