sure! we'd love to help in any way possible! feel free to view the source of our myspace and steal whatever you want. i looked at your profile source and see that you got some css code from a website. i started by doing something similar and then messing with it (for hours) until it looked nicer. i'm going to assume you don't know anything about CSS (you can learn tons for free at w3schools.com). anyways, here's a short tutorial on covering up the myspace profile. i'm not sure all the tags will show up here, so let me know if you can't read something. if you send me a real email address, i can send full files to that instead.
this is the most minimal way to achieve the "covering up", i think. save your old "bio" and try putting this in:
<style type="text/css">
/* this keeps the main content from scrolling */
body {overflow:hidden}
/* this creates a "class" called main that will cover everything */
.main {
position:absolute;
top:206px;
left:0px;
right:0px;
width:100%;
bottom:160px;
overflow:auto;
visibility:visible;
}
/* this does the image at the bottom of our profile that doesn't move */
.subimage {
position:absolute;
bottom:0%;
right:0%;
height:160px;
background:#000000;
visibility:visible;
}
/* this is where it gets complex. some of this is for hiding things, the rest is for showing things to internet explorer only. because of IE's terrible interpretation of internet standards. */
/* hides audio player */
table table td.text {visibility:hidden;}
/* hides band title plus other things just in case */
.nametext {visibility:hidden}
/* special div for IE folks */
.sucky {
display:none;
}
/* Hides from IE \*/
* html body table td td.text td td {
visibility:visible;
}
/* Hides from IE \*/
* html table table td.text {
visibility:visible;
}
/* Hides from IE \*/
* html .nametext {
visibility:visible;
}
/* Hides from IE \*/
* html .main {
display:none;
}
/* Hides from IE \*/
* html .subimage {
display:none;
}
/* Hides from IE \*/
* html body {
overflow:auto;
}
/* Hides from IE \*/
* html .sucky {
display:inline;
}
</style>
<div class="sucky">type stuff in here that will show up for internet explorer users (IE doesn't display this covering stuff correctly and i'm not smart enough to figure out how to fix it (yet). this part will basically look like the regular profile. i think you can just paste your old profile here and it will still work, but i haven't tried it yet.</div>
<div class="main">here is where you can put anything you want. this is the section that will cover your original profile. the trouble is that you'll have to update this section manually if you want to change something (say a blog entry). my suggestion is not to use the myspace "features" and link to your own blogs, calendars, radio feeds, whatever. the more myspace features you use, the more your visitors have to see myspace-benefitting ads.
there is another drawback to this section: you have to do something tricky in order to be able to submit your changes from the profile editing screen. we put an image at the bottom and then, when editing our profile, turn off automatic image loading and make the window small enough so that the button shows up for us to click.</div>
that is all you need to put in your profile to get started. as you add more things, you may need to alter this style code to make it work. i think it took me about 6 hours to get ours just right, but i'm picky. if possible, i'd test it in internet explorer and firefox at least. if you have any questions, i can try to help, but i'm not really an expert i'm just stubborn enough to flail along until it looks ok. i've learned a lot of CSS that way, though!
as for playing our music on your station, we'd be quite honored. if you like, we can send you a cd, or you can just download a bunch of songs from http://www.exempli.com/downloads.html. if you have any plans for "in-studio" stuff, we'd love to participate in that as well.
hope this is all helpful in some way. please ask clarifying questions or yell at me if i've messed up your life.
