Killer Comments on Myspace Are a Must
Take a look at any of the popular profiles and you'll notice the comments section has more graphics than words. A lot of times, you just want to "drop by" and say hello to your friend. If you want to get noticed, you've got to add cool comments.
Glitter
If you only have a little to say, glitter graphics are a cute way to go. There are many types out there, they're usually pink, purple, or blue and often have little hearts that sparkle right next to your letters. You can't be long winded with glitter graphics though because they lose their charm when they take up most of the comment page. For example, "I can not wait to see you and your new place" is too long, but "C U Soon," "Thinking of you," "I love you," "Love your profile," and "UR the best" are all fine. Most glitter graphics don't allow punctuation, so proper grammar isn't really necessary.
Pictures
When you have nothing to say but want to say a thousand words, let pictures do the talking. Photos, also known as "pics" and "pix" can either be personal, meaningful ones or copied from the internet.
Your personal pics are usually from a disc, downloaded from your digital camera, or saved off the internet on your hard drive. You need to upload them first. (This means the picture isn't just on your computer, but is accessible in the internet world.) There are plenty of hosting sites that will allow you to upload for free. ImageShack, PhotoBucket, and Flickr are the most popular choices. Upload the picture and then grab the code for it - usually found near your photo. Copy and paste into the comments box and your Kodak moment is there for all to see!
If you come across a funny picture on the web, either look for the code or right click and save it to your hard drive. Upload it, just like you would a personal photo and paste the code into the comments section. Be sure you observe any copyright laws before posting any pics that aren't yours.
Videos
YouTube is the most popular video site, although Yahoo! And Google have a large collection of videos. When you paste the code for the video into the comments section, you'll see a message telling you the owner of the profile must approve the video first.
Games
Games are pretty much like videos. A search for "free games for myspace" will give you hundreds of sites that offer what you're looking for. Your choices for games are pretty much endless too. From old-school Pac Man and Pong to more adult games such as Deal or No Deal, you can be sure to find the perfect game for your friend.
Basic Comment
Ok, so you really have something to say instead of just "hi!". Spice it up by adding hearts, stars, etc. Happy faces make a comment more eye-catching too. If you're still writing the prehistoric :) it's time to get with the program. They're called smiley graphics and you can get them anywhere. You're not limited to a happy face either. These cute little guys come with confused, sad, angry, and embarrassed expressions, just to name a few. Smiley guys also come clothed. Get the rocker, pimped out guy, biker, or cowboy.
If you really have something to say and want to include any of the cool extras, just write above, below, or around the code. That way, you get the best of both worlds.
The few seconds extra time it takes to leave a glammed up comment lets the receiver know they're important to you. So go ahead and be creative.
