Okay, as Peter requested, here's how you can all set up your own MySpace page. For Bebo, check with Colin. Facebook is a new set up - pretty similar but I don't find it as user friendly as MySpace.

First some notes:

There are a number of ways you can update your profile or "pimp your page" but this is where you enter HTML hell and my advice is to steer clear.
Also, beware of hackers / phishing on MySpace, my account was hacked / phished very cleverly too might I add, I was asked to log in and I never checked the address bar - where www.myspace.com was, the address read www.ryspace.com See the "r" used where the "m" should be? It's not as serious as getting your online banking account phished but quite annoying. Some jerk sent everyone on my friends list spam mail about voting for Hilary Clinton! I got a mail from a friend in the UK going "What the f**k are you on Delly?". I had to reset my whole account and send out apology bulletins. =-(

On the subject of hacking, the number one Thin Lizzy site on the net (the one I mod on - Rock Legend) got hacked by some Turkish extremist group and we lost everything. Gutted. Dirty barstewards! Turkey's a hole anyway!!! Especially Kusadasi - don't go there, ever, it's a kip.

Okay....where was I?!

Ah yes, MySpace! I can't get the images / screen grabs for this on this page (like the site counter thingie - very frustrating!) so it's a very basic to-do-list bit but I'll mail on the screen grabs with all the links - it's pretty self explanatory once you get onto the site. Go to www.myspace.com and take it from there. If you find me - say hello!

1. Sign up….
Go to www.myspace.com and click on Sign Up. Follow the instructions.

2. There are lots of security measures to cut down on hackers and spam bots…
Just key in the letters as you would on the Ticketbastard site. Sorry, TicketMASTER.

3. Upload some pics or leave it til later…
I would recommend leaving the pics til you get your bearings but do put up your profile pic straight away.

4. Invite friends to join…(or not!) I chose not to!

5. And you’re done! Check your mail and click on the verification link and you’re good to go!
Tom will be your only friend til you get off yer arse and go find some friends! (You're a loser if you keep Tom on your friends list but as Tom is the brains behind MySpace, he's the first to inform you if you've been hacked. They're very speedy at spotting the hackers.) Search for people you know that have a MySpace page (I'm there at www.myspace.com/dellzbellz) or if you've got any favourite bands or actors, you can add them. Everyone is there from David Jason to Sting. It's a bit mad and there are a few freaks out there (this bit is more for the girls) but if you receive any unwanted attention you can report them as spam and they get their ass kicked!

That's all folks! Any questions - holler at me y'all. Peace out!
