How difficult is it to copy/paste html code. Because that is basically what everyone does. They aren’t tweaking it; they’re taking the simple way out. And sure, some people are careful, but many people get on MySpace to find new friends. I’ve talked to many people, and they admit that they make their profiles public because they want people to comment their pictures or to make friends from different countries. Here’s the rub: We don’t know who is talking to us. All we have is the pictures they show us and the information they give us. They could be our neighbors pretending to be from Lithuania for all we know.

i do have a myspace, and am extremely careful with whom i invite or accept. and i agree that html is an amazing thing to learn on myspace, in example i have made one or two on my own quizzes and backgrounds, learned how to manipulate my font, and have fun with the page.and it has helped me with technology classes in school. so in ways in can be an okay thing. kids just need to be more sensible of what they put on there.

I would have to agree that the act of copying and pasting code helps, but it’s the fine tuning of the code that really spurs on the learning. I found several generators that create the css tags. That’s a good start. A friend sent me an invite and the first thing I noticed was the biggest collection of bad animated gifs and red text on black background sites on the web. Not that many astehtic myspace pages, seems most are very dark. So, I created an account and started to make a astehtic page and see how far I can go.
