Phresh Phoundation, myspace layout idea Options

[Mikeplyts]

Using some free time that I had because I managed to finish like 3 of my projects already, I designed a myspace layout for my own myspace. I wanted to get an opinion of what you guys think.

I don't really think I'm liking the little navigation thing I have. Actually, I may just switch the page links with the main navigation links. C&C prz. Thanks. (By the way, this is only a mockup; not the actual coded layout.)

UPDATE #1: (Shortened main content text. Attained case-consistency. Made navigation sidebar links a dark gray. Altered comment box appearance and separated the box from the button. Lowered opacity of the circles bokeh in the top header content. Added a footer. Turns out I didn't save the PSD's for the icons, so I had to put a colored rectangle over the original "James Bond" text and replaced with "Mike Peters" text.)

I think I was reaaally tired when I mentioned that. I like the folded corners better now :P

This is sort of what I meant by the comment box:


The statistics actually shouldn't be too bad in Flash, if you wanted the nifty-ness. Just have a counter embedded that you start at your current views, an online now thing, and use cURL to check your Myspace page for the number of friends and comments (I can help you with the cURL/online if you need, not the Flash). You could even do the same with the updates, synching with a Twitter account or something.

edit: This might be the grammar Nazi coming out, but I think you should take the "Anyways" out of the header, since that's usually used when coming back from a tangent. Doesn't really fit, since you didn't trail from the message.

Oh cool, that actually looks pretty nice. Haha, I'll be sure to edit my careless grammar. Honestly, I actually feel like just replacing the Statistics module with a Twitter Updates module. :|
