I know, I know. I'll probably be crucified for even
uttering the word "myspace" in here, but I wanted to write
this to say that there is a way to make your myspace page
look somewhat presentable, and I can prove it. Making it
look presentable is not without it's complications and
limitations, however, the ability to do so exists.
Let me first start by saying, that I in no way came up
with the code necessary to do this. All the hard work was
done by Mike
Davidson of mikeindustries.com
. Mr. Davidson actually took the time to figure out how to
make the crappy back-end code of myspace work for you:

A co-worker recommended I download a program touting to
be the "TextMate" for
Windows called "E-TextEditor". For
those of you who don't know what TextMate is, it is an HTML
editor exclusively for Mac, that is exclusively amazing.
Knowing the great things TextMate offers, and owning a PC
myself, I was pretty excited to see if the claims were true.
So, I downloaded, and I honestly must say, I'm very
impressed. The functionality of this editor is pretty
amazing. There really is a long list of things that can be
done with this editor, so I'll just list a few of my
favorite things (like the song):
- If you have the HTML bundle selected, and create a new
document, and type 'skel' + Tab, TextEditor will
automatically generate an HTML skeleton for you:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<title>Page Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/master.css"
type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title"
charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
- Type 'Table' + Tab and see what happens
- Holding down the 'Alt' key, and clicking and dragging
your mouse over text will allow you to do column
selection.
- Type 'h1' + Tab, and the h1 open and close will
auto-generate. Then begin typing, and based on the content,
E-TextEditor will suggest a value for the h1's 'id'.
The list goes on an on. Anyway, I recommend downloading
the trial version, and giving it a try. You may find it
worth the $35 to own it outright.
