Thanks!

I haven't tried Whateverlife.com in awhile, but it doesn't seem to be working for me right now. Maybe her server is down or overloaded?

I'm not a fan of a lot of Myspace sites. Most of the popular ones steal their layouts (I've been stolen from a thousand times), and all the other ones just seem the same because they use the same styles and backgrounds. D:

And yeah, just let me know if you ever need any more help.

Well this is just great! And your site you mentioned, "Atomic" looks really, really nice:-). I will follow your advice and I am so glad to get it:D Btw, on another quick note: I've been trying to pull up Whateverlife.com and it's like I can't. Have you tried recently (probably not)? It's weird. Maybe it's just my computer but I know she paid the bill-on her site. Unless she's retired (at 18)? I like "your" site. It's looks great- nice colors, easy to navigate, and wonderful layouts! Much better than Crushlyts to me because after I got past the blinking lights and colors, I saw that the layouts themselves were "not" that interesting..just plain. But at least it's all free so I'm not complaining:D May I re-contact you if I have some more questions ( and ofcourse, I will contact you about every permission, and that is a promise).:DD

Webs is completely free. It follows the same standards as a regular website for the most part, so it's great to practice on.

I used to be on the staff, so yes, making things things on your own is important. Most designers aren't ok with people using their codes. If you ask for permission and change the layout substantially from what they had, it's fine.

That is sooo sweet of you! And such a fast respond to my query- that was doubly sweet! I really appreciate this advice so much! Let me ask, does the site you mentioned have a fee and if so, would any "free" sites" be a mistake for what I'm trying to do? The other thing is that I read the ' submitted layout stipulations' on here and I thought it said any submitted layouts cannot have been made with the help or use of a "generator"- that everything must be from scratch". Maybe I misunderstood because there was a lot to read there. But with "Web.com" (I don't have the exact name of the site you've just given me in front of me) I can build a layout like some of those on this site? Even create some flash effects?

It seems like most people start on sites like Myspace (I started on Xanga), but now that I've been doing this for so long I can tell you it's best to start with an actual website. Sites like Myspace and Createblog already have their own code that you need to override, and there are a lot of limits. I would sign up for an account at webs.com. I have some very basic website templates on my site, atomicaffliction.com, that you can use to start if you'd like.

Let me know if you need any help!

Hi there! I hope you don't mind that I altered the layout a bit. I'm learning what I can do with colors and so forth with different layouts and fiddling around with them. I've been trying to find a "place" to experiment with layouts but I uploaded a layout from Crushlyts.com onto a Myspace 1.0 account I rarely use now (but want 2 keep since the Myspace transition to 2.0) and some of the coding went into the ad banner so I to take it down fast before they deleted me account. A little afraid to play around w/coding over there . Maybe you can suggest a place I can create my own layout from scratch and see it as it's being built? I'd really appreciate it.:D I'd like to create my own CreateBlog layout and put it up. Thank you so much in advance!

Thank you! I have the layout available for use if you want...or are you already using an editted version of it? I see my link at the top of your layout so I'm assuming so. :)

Hello! I just wanted to leave a comment on this layout because I really like this;-)
