Yr Webpage’s A Sucker

One of the worst things about Myspace, inexplicably the most popular site on the Internet, is the ridiculous browser-slowing code people put into their profiles. (Well, okay, that and how addictive it is. And how there’s currently a front page feature on Ari from Entourage telling us what he thinks about Hurricane Katrina.)

But those profiles with glitter text and backgrounds that make the regular text impossible to read and 400 slideshows that frequently crash your Firefox are by far the worst thing on there.

So, uh, thanks, 6 ABC, for this in-depth report:

If you have a profile on Myspace.com, you’re competing with about 106-million other people for face-time.

To help you make your site stand out, we asked for help from local tech expert Adrienne Bartlett of Target-X.

You should start with a quick Google search. You’ll find animated graphics on Glitter-Graphics.com Just copy the computer code, go to your profile and enter the information in your Edit Profile section.

Try making your profile as interactive as possible. Some websites will let you customize your own quizzes and surveys and post them online for your friends.

Check out Testriffic.com to create a quiz and post an interactive scoreboard.

Try Myspace-games.com for puzzles and games.

And browse through Welovewidgets.com. It will let you display your daily horoscope, and allow visitors to your site see if they’re compatible with you.

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh…
