Re: [LM_NET] pimping a my space page

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

The "code" that is being referred to is HTML code.  Based upon the
website you sent, it looks like a great way to create code using an MS
word-like process.  If you don't know how to write HTML, don't
worry...there are several sites that help you create code and edit
your MySpace page by plugging in what you want and then allowing the
program to generate the code.  You just highlight, cut and paste the
code into your page.  Here are a few more:

http://www.edityourmyspace.com/

http://www.myspaceeditor.org/

http://www.coolmyspace.com/

http://www.freecodesource.com/


If you want to get some ideas on ways to use MySpace in a public
library forum, check out this site:
http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=MySpace_%26_Teens

It's a "best practices" site that showcases how different public
libraries are using MySpace to draw teens.

I'd suggest looking at the examples and then going to your library's
MySpace page and practicing.  If you're afraid of what might happen
there, open your own MySpace account and practice there first.

You can do this, Dawn, I have faith in you!  *grin*  If you need more
help, ideas, or links, let us know.  I'm sure that others have more
recommendations.

Good luck!
