5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly, precisely what I needed, October 8, 2006
In this book, the author talks to me, the most fledgling of geeks, in terms I can understand so that I can grasp the concepts I didn't understand. He gives instructions I can follow. I get the results I want. I'm devouring this book and learning at an incredible pace. It is extremely well organized, things are where you expect to find them. This is a generous author. The supporting website at http://www.myspaceismyplace.com is just as user-friendly and as giving as this book. I recommend this most highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for getting the job done., August 23, 2007
By Debbie Tejada (near Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wish I had found this book sooner. I'd spent at least a week surfing the Internet to find more information on how to really tailor MySpace, and this book would have saved me a lot of time. It's appropriate for people who are new to html and CSS, as well as experienced coders who just want to know how MySpace pages are set up and what's unique about the way they did things. Having previously spent my time just working with inserting CSS and html into MySpace profile boxes, I'm now going to move on to the next big step of using a DIV overlay and make my MySpace really mine. The book is a quick read, full of useful information, has a lot of screen shots to back up the text, and goes beyond coding issues to useful information for improving your photo techniques and editing. John covers all the bases!
