My New Myspace layout :D Options

[illriginal]

I think this is the best I've done as a beginner.

I like the navigation and favorites links, I don't care too much for the desktop look.. but whatever suits you I guess. takes a long time to load though.

Really? Yeah I don't think it's 56k phone-line friendly.

I'm on Cable connection w/firefox (browsers load up differently), so it loads instantly even after deleting my cookies/cache files.

As for the desktop look, yeah I wanted a linux like theme, so I used my desktop background and worked off of that. It's plain and simple, and looks nice.


By the way, thanks for takin the time to critique

Your welcome, but I am too on a cable/dsl line.

It's nice, but I don't like how I have to scroll everywhere to see the whole thing. Good for a beginner, though. =]

It's nice, quite differant.
The photo and browser-esque boxes are rather low quality, what image editing programs do you use?
It's not my thing but it's really good for a first effort.
The loading times are ok but not that great, maybe change hosting?
Yes I do use FF.

Ah yeah, the resolution is definitely made for 1280x1024

Yeah my photo I'm using is crappy quality. I need to take newer pics with a real camera, not my cell

As for the browser-esque boxes, what exactly are you referring to? I don't understand.

As for the Editing programs, I use Photoshop and Gimp (I'm a linux user).

And what would you recommend for the hosting? I use imageshack because it doesn't auto-resize my images like photobucket does.

Any recommendations?

^Imageshack.us is good. I think it's because xTHExDUDEx connection which is why he assumed you to switch different hosting.

Yeah, when the layout is loading, it takes awhile (like a couple seconds) and I'm using Comcast Cable. I reccommend you to slice up you're images next time, espicially when you're using a .PNG file (takes even longer). That way, a lot of people can view it faster then waiting for one whole big .PNG image to load.

The layout looks interesting for a beginner. I just don't like the text being bolded and the borders on the image links. It's up to you and I guess you like it.

Yeah I'm debating to take off the borders. I want my icons to look natural, not as if they're on a square transparent canvas. As for the text being bolded, I know you're most likely referring to the one with the smaller text? On the right side of the profile? I'm tryin to make the text stand out. If I make it any larger it wont fit into the window in my background

Oh yeah... I'm pretty sure everything is through imageshack. maybe it's the background that's making things lag.

I see you mentioned slicing of the images. Would you happened to have a tutorial that I can take a look at on how to load up sliced images onto myspace

I guess it's alright. You should use a better quality picture of the one on the top left.

Ack! I know I know, I'm gettin a new camera. I took that pic with a cellphone, and I'm assuming it might have been a little too far away? I dunno. There's no way to save that image, it was too pixilated (don't know if that's a word) to begin with.
