Meebo Endorsement: Chat Safely, Efficiently

Leave a comment

Today I realised that I could start making money with this blog. It crossed my mind, but never really thought it was feasible. I started it with the intention of helping people use the internet better, that’s still the plan.

So, as I am still perfectly clean from corporate dealings, I want to put forth my endorsement for a site I use every day: meebo.com

There are 2 main benefits:
This site works as an all encompassing instant messenger.
Your instant messaging is virtually undetectable at work or school.

You can set up a meebo account to sign on simultaneously on AIM, gchat, msn messenger, yahoo messenger, icq, and jabber.

This site works just like a webpage, so you do not need to download anything. Just like aim express, but works better. It is also very much under the radar, so it shouldn’t be blocked by any overenthusiastic school or workplace.

This is not some rinky dink company. They are totally legit and work hard to make a fully functioning site.

One more thing, they have an option where you can put a “meebo me” widget on your personal site, where people can talk to you when you are signed on. For an example, check out my myspace.

What are Style Brackets?

7 Comments

I have been using the term “Style Brackets” here, and a few people have had questions as to what they are…

They look like this
<style type=”text/css”>
</style>

The reason I havent been using them is because when I write them in wordpress, they don’t work when you paste them into myspace for some reason.
I use the method I outlined here to make the chevrons: https://justsayyes.wordpress.com/2007/05/03/how-do-i-put-a-in-wordpress/
but those apparently arent actual brackets – css doesnt like it.

So my suggestion is to use ones you already have or type them in manually.

If anyone has a solution to this, it would be much appreciated

Thanks~

***UPDATE: I was daydreaming and found a great solution for this… Being a huge fan of the Notepad program, I was thinking that I would just create a text file with the exact code, and upload it to the post. This way the users can go directly to the code without dealing with the formatting. Straight code – no BS : Notepad.
So thats what I will be doing for now on. Thanks again, Notepad.

How do I block spam comments from Myspace?

2 Comments

oh, so you don’t want those ads for free ringtones or penis enhancements?? and you arent interested in seeing who’s looked at your profile (doesnt work)….
Well, Everyone with a relatively uncontrolled friends list or friends with myspace viruses have been barraged by spam comments like these.
You have two solutions: you can either take out comments altogether (look for a post later this week)
OR set your comments so that you have to approve it before it shows up..
How do I do this??

From your homepage, click on ACCOUNT SETTINGS
Then click on PRIVACY SETTINGS – CHANGE SETTINGS
CHECK THE BOX WHICH SAYS – Comments – approve before posting

While you are here, you may want to reconsider the group and event invite privacy settings too. They can get annoying as well.

Don’t quit on Myspace, don’t let them win

How do I remove a comment from Myspace?

Leave a comment

I have a comment that doesnt allow me to remove it. Instead of the normal ‘Delete my comment’ link, it isnt there, or there is a link to another spam site. Those mothers, who cares about these porn sites??

So, how do I remove one of these seemingly unremoveable comments??

Go to EDIT PROFILE
Click Safe Edit Mode on the top right
Click on the Comments Tab
Find the comment you want to remove and press delete.

Thats all – easy

How do I take out my top friends from my Myspace page?

How do I remove my top friends list from my myspace? How do I take out my top friends list?

“Jeff – Why did you take me off your top friends list???”
I have heard this at least 3 times from people pissed because I rearranged my list. There is such competition and feelings involved in these top friends lists. Recently, I took it down to a top 4 – including only people related to me – no one can complain about that right? But why should I have to worry about peoples feelings anyways – It’s my page. and it doesnt mean anything. I don’t see it as a ranking! Then theres girlfriends/boyfriends… Its such a big deal to put that special someone on your top friends list. its like an announcement to the world of your commencement. And if you put them number 1 – you are probably whipped (for newbie relationships) and this might crash hard. So usually one just leaves that person off for months just not to admit ownership or playing it cool that that person still hasnt infiltrated your top list – because, you know, your top friends list actually says who your top friends are – In order.

So lets get rid of the whole thing altogether

or maybe you just want to pimp your myspace so it doesnt show your friends list. Are they trying to tell me what to do? are you kidding me? f that.

you can use this code:
Put this inside your style brackets. What are Style Brackets?
td.text td.text table table table, td.text td.text table br, td.text td.text table .orangetext15, td.text td.text .redlink, td.text td.text span.btext {display:none;}
td.text td.text table {background-color:transparent;}
td.text td.text table td, td.text td.text table {height:0;padding:0;border:0;}
td.text td.text table table td {padding:3;}
td.text td.text table table br {display:inline;}

Facebook is cool because the friends that show up on your front page are random. There is no politics.

How do I change the color of my font on myspace? and in comments?

UPDATE: WE JUST MADE A WALKTRHOUGH VIDEO TO GO WITH THIS PAGE cHECK IT OUT HERE:

How do you change the color of your font in myspace?
This is an easy question, but it can get complicated.

Before we actually start, lets pick a color. Keep that number ready.

Now…
When typing text in a comment or in just one field or table, and you only are concerned with that individual field, you can use this code:

<font color=”color_code”> YOUR TEXT HERE </font>

and to change the size also, use this:
<font color=”color_code” face=”font style” size=”number value from 1 to 7″> your text here </font>

If you want to change individual parts of your profile, everything is laid out very well in this guys guide on myspace
http://www.myspace.com/colorguide.

The most basic of what you want to create is:

td, a, body, table,p { color:XXXXX;}

put that in your profile and you will change the color of most of the text.

How do I make my background a picture or image in myspace?

37 Comments

To put in an image as your background picture,
copy and paste this:

<style>
body {
background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
</style>

Where the XXXXXX is the location of the image you want to make your background. if you need help figuring out what that is, I have that on one of my other myspace posts.

If you want the picture to repeat on the page, insert this:
<style>
body {
background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
}
</style>

If you want the background image fixed in place when you scroll down, use this:
<style>
body {
background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
background-attachment:fixed;
}
</style>

Where do I paste code into myspace?

15 Comments

I want to pimp my myspace. I got the code need to put in.
So, where do I paste the code into my profile??

Essential question – thanks Rach

If you are putting a video into your profile, you put the video code in whichever box you want it to be shown.

As for layout changes and css code, you should put it inside the ABOUT ME section. If you want to add code to code you already put in, you should insert it somewhere inside the style tags – to be more precise, put it right before the line which has the “/style” in it. That basically says that this is the end to your formatting code.

You can basically put the code wherever though. Just try it. and Send your questions!
