  • MySpace Profile Facelift

    MySpace RedesignAbout a month ago, I followed the excellent guide to style a MySpace profile over at Mike Industries. He detailed many details about the challenges he faced in his blog that I shared when doing my own (still awful) modifications when I first signed up for a MySpace. I never thought I would be able to have my profile look as appealing as his styled goodness, however, he was nice enough to include some sample CSS for all to enjoy. Finally, I can seperate myself from the thousands of awful profiles that litter MySpace. Yay for Mike!

    I took his code and with some changes and my own graphics I finally have a MySpace profile worth looking at (see screenshot at right). I’m very happy with it: it’s about as good as it could look without overlaying the whole page or commenting out chunks of HTML. Check it out, and have a look at Mike’s guide to make your own.

  • In Loving Memory

    God saw you getting tired
    and a cure was not to be.
    So He put His arms around you
    and whispered “Come to Me”. With tearful
    eyes we watched you,
    And saw you pass away.
    Although we love you dearly,
    We could not make you stay.
    A Golden Heart stopped
    Beating, hard working hands at rest,
    God broke our Hearts
    to prove to us,
    He only takes the best.

    In loving memory of my grandmother, Wilma Burke, who touched so many lives through her friendliness and devotion to spreading God’s love through motorcycling. She has been reunited with her husband in heaven on March 9, 2005. You will always be with us in your hearts, and we know that we will see you again someday.
