New Jay Olay Myspace Page: iWeb + Dreamweaver = MySpace Theme
We decided it was time to perform some spring cleaning on our MySpace page, and with that we spent an afternoon on our Apple iBook G4, mashing up some HTML and CSS to make create our new sophisticated MySpace theme.
We first created this page in iWeb (available only on Mac OS), because iWeb allowed us to apply the reflection effect to our images quickly and easily. We then imported our site into Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Dreamweaver. In Dreamweaver, we were able to incorporate our friends list, and comment box. Once completed, we uploaded our files to a webserver.
It’s tricky coding CSS. We had to first start off by creating an overlay to cover up the default MySpace theme. Then we applied our HTML and CSS to our container DIV. There were a few quirks we had to workaround, but in the end we were able to create a nice theme for our MySpace presence. It’s a shame that it is only best viewed in Firefox.
When we get chance, we’ll upload the steps as a PDF download for those who would like to create their own Apple-esque Theme for MySpace.
