Do you write your own html code OR use a site with pre fabricated layouts?

i've been doing small html codes from when i was in HS, when my sister started learning about it in college i decided to try it out myself and got decent. so i pretty much always did my own html stuff on myspace. actually, i'm pretty proud of the current layout. it took me a while, but i'm happy with the turn out. i started out with the basic myspace formats and then got bored because it started to look like everyone elses page. so i changed it up. come check it out if you want. http://www.myspace.com/emarie

well, i'm totally self-taught was well. i have a book on general HTML and i learned some stuff from the internet. actually, i used a basic DIV overlay (which you can find the links on the bottom of the page) and just worked out a layout in Microsoft Frontpage. i saw some other really great profiles that use flash and i actually got my idea from someone elses profile who had it like a pin up board, i wanted to do something similar and thought about a chalk board because i could do that chalk board effect. it took some time, i also worked on a few other profiles www.myspace.com/superautobacsusa www.myspace.com/getyourcode ...those are both done with DIV overlays

I started programming in BASIC when I was age 7, and then FORTRAN, but after that, my programming kinda went the way of the dinosaur in favor of my finishing degrees in other areas...LOL But, I can do some basic HTML, but the only thing is, I STILL CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE PRE-MADE LAYOUTS ONTO MY MYSPACE PAGE??? LOL Here are all of my celebrity friends who have really sharp pages, and here is me, with a plain white page...LOL Of course, I really don't worry about what anybody else thinks, but I would like to know how to fix it up so I can make it an expression of the inner me ;) If you can help, let me know... Send me a friend request at http://myspace.com/jmichael1 and I will know it is you Thanks! :) JM
