After recently reading a webmaster forum, I saw the dreaded question “Should I put music on my website?” I saw the usual replies by others, mostly saying don’t do it. I had to agree with them for various reasons, but then someone commented, I generally have music playing, so I hate music n websites. That’s good enough reason for me.

The Hostile Takeover

Something that I just absolutely HATE is getting linked to a PDF file or some other file that is not going to be automatically opened by my browser. I consider them to be a hostile takeover of my PC, and if you linked to an especially large file, I smite you! My PC is old, needs more memory, and being forced to open up another application was not what I was looking to do. Identify yourself Mr. Link, at least if it’s not an HTML page. Continue reading »

Any MySpace fans out there? I tried it a long time ago, have an account, but honestly never use it anymore. Time is the main reason, but another reason is that incredibly poor layouts that people come up with. Music, tons of animated graphics, and just complete craziness in most cases. Well here is a site for you MySpace lovers that could help you out: MySpace Layouts.

MySpace Layouts have three cool things for MySpacers. Lots of layouts, lots of add-ons, and a toolbar for your browser where you can get the latest layouts and codes. I would imagine you would need to be a hardcore MySpacer to use the toolbar, but it was feature rich. The toolbar also has a Google search feature in it. This could be good if you have the Google Toolbar already. You could simply remove that one, and add the MySpace one. In addition to their layouts and add-ons, they have lots of free MySpace graphics, code to tweek your layout, and forum.

For you anime lovers they had over 100 layouts. NFL fan? They had your category, but no layouts to be found. Taking a look at all of them, they have at least 400 different layouts to select, so I think these guys can help you out if you are in need of a makeover. Pretty good helper site MySpace users, and if you have no clue what MySpace is just visit their site: MySpace.com.
