MySpace Codes Part 1

There are many ways to customize your MySpace.com profile and the pages that are included in it. In addition to being able to add files, music, video, and graphics, it is also possible to customize how people are able to view your site. Here, you can change the way borders look, choose a wide variety of colors, and change the fonts of each page.

Because there are many tools available to you on the MySpace.com site, and also many others you can download and use from other locations, like www.mypsace.org or www.popdarts.com, it is not necessary for you to know the actual HTML code and other languages involved in creating a site. In fact, a MySpace.com profile is actually a combination of HTML, (hyper text markup language), and cascading style sheet, (CSS) rules. Because these codes have already been incorporated into the templates and layouts provided for you, you do not have to know or understand how these languages work. This makes creating a profile and subsequent pages quick and easy.

Color is one of the most important elements of a web page. Eye-catching colors and themes will often attract the attention of those browsing various profiles, and can make a difference on how many times your site is actually viewed. It is easy to change the color of your background and tables, and then to change the color of the text in them.

Before proceeding, however, you should have a backup copy of any text you will alter, just in case something goes wrong and you lose it. There is a code file used when making color changes to your site. You will create this file and name it MySpaceCodeColor.html. This is done in a text editor such as Notepad, Wordpad, or the text editor of your choice. You can give the file a different file name, but make sure it is one you will recognize as your color file. There are various color codes you will type into this file. These are HTML and CSS codes that you can download off the Internet, or acquire from other MySpace.com users who know them. These codes will designate how your page looks.

There are specific codes for changing the background color, the color of your tables, and the color of the text in the tables and on the page. You can also change the color of the graphics that appear on the page, but this requires a different set of codes specific to graphics.

In order to change the color of an entire table, it is necessary to specify code for each row in the table. Again, it is necessary to either know the code or to obtain it from someone who does.

It is also possible to change the colors, fonts, and borders on the MySpace.com site, but using the above described method will give you complete control over what happens to the information on your site and how it is presented to viewers. This is because you are not limited to already existing layouts and options, and are able design the site you want.

Learning How To Write

As a student of Spanish, my goal was to think in Spanish. Skip the word-by-word translation so I'd have the necessary speed to speak and listen. I know words in Spanish that I'd be hard pressed to translate. Usually profanity, I confess. Chingow!

For years my students here in China have studied grammar, and know it better than you or I. They read. They write. But speaking involves moving faster than that. In conversation, we don't have time to write it first and make sure it's all grammatically flawless, then read it aloud, perhaps after a bit of rehearsal.

So, I try to give them a chance to practice putting words together on the fly, rules be damned. The rules they've internalized will kick in and keep them comprehensible, which will build their confidence in their ability to keep creating conversation that way.

This is not unlike what we go through as authors. First we study rulebooks, perhaps take some classes, and conclude just about everything we're is doing is wrong. So many rules to memorize. We might dread sitting down to write with all those constraints.

But really, it's not about memorizing rules at all. It's about internalizing the rules, following them (or not if you prefer) without being consciously aware of what they are. They're there, but in the background.

The story's what matters. You're supposed to be having fun, not "working." At least not during the creation phase.

We don't always take the time to say, "I've written ten active sentences in a row so maybe I'll whip in a passive one now" or "I need a beat for every X lines of dialogue." I published four novels and edited dozens more before I learned what a beat was. (It's a pause so the reader can catch his/her breath.)

And, of course, since it is writing and not speaking, we can always go back and revise later. Then rely on editors to catch what we missed, or at least make us wonder why we wrote it this way instead of that way.

Some authors aren't even consciously aware of "the rules." They've never taken a class, never read a book about writing. They're simply avid readers who one day decided to write. But they've internalized the rules as well. It comes from reading.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you want to write, you must read. If you don't like reading, maybe writing isn't for you. It's not about writing because you want to say, "I am a writer." It's about writing because you enjoy writing.

And, it's really nice when you've been writing for a long time to go back and read a book about how to write. You might find one or two things to tweak in your technique, as opposed to a daunting laundry list of flaws. It's much easier to internalize one or two new rules than 50 or 100!
