Hi everyone! I do the website for my husbands band, http://www.simplybent.com. They are a local band in Peoria, Illinois. I am finding, they need a myspace page also. Now I am familiar with html, as I did the website. I used dreamweaver to assist me with this, I also have fireworks and flash. You would think with all this I would be able to design a simple myspace page. I have searched and looked and even tried some things out, but desperately need help. I like the layouts, as there is not so much garbage on it. I like the black backgrounds, but with a lighter color boxes where the text shows up better. I want to be able to put upcoming gigs, bios of the members, and have a place for people to put comments. I want to be able to add photos, or a slideshow, and to upload their music as I get it on here. Any help anyone can give would be great. Advice, is there someone who does pages for a small fee. I guess just any help advice suggestions, anything at this point. I like the simplicity of this http://www.skem9.com/layouts/previews/myspaceDiv.php?layoutid=141892 I like thats is not overloaded with stuff, nice and clean and easy to read, but would want a place to add our music, our photos from various gigs...so on and so forth.

Another idea occured to me. Might be worth considering: browse through some band profiles and if one of their layouts look intriguing, send them a message asking them about it. This might be a good way not just to get ideas for your hubby's profile, but also a good way to network.

You don't need to use dreamweaver or even know anything about html to create a myspace page. Myspace already provides the default composition of the profiles, and you can use a pre-made layout from a variety of places to beautify your bf's band profile; or you can make your own through online sites that let you do this. If you want, I can scan my bookmarks for some of my favorite profile layout sites, and can post the urls here so you can check them out.
About adding video clips, it's just a matter of getting the codes (if they are posted on youtube for example) and add them to the profile (on "about me" or some other section).

Hey that would be awesome if you could post the urls here. What I am having problems with...is most everything I see is for regular myspace pages. The pages for artists, bands...on myspace is different. And am I understanding everything right, that I would copy codes into the bio section?

Yep - all profile layout code for band profiles go at the end of the "bio" section. You'd think someone by now would make a what-command-refers-to-what on a band profile by now.... and I haven't gotten around to it.
I found tons of help in the myspace forums. Look under myspace customizing and there are helpful links for band profiles.

I am not sure about where to put the codes for a band profile. I wish I could be more helpful. I had assumed you could just put it anywhere in the sections about the band, but I could be wrong. One of the urls I mentioned has a senction on band profiles. Perhaps you will find info there than can help.....
