Blogs and Social Networks Fall Layouts and Graphics

As Blogs and Social Networks sites go, locating an impressive Fall or Autumn quality layout without the Fluff of the Holidays is a bit of a task in itself :) Stevie and I have done the research for you and will give you a bit of insight into where these Falling Autumn sites full of the coolest of HTML graphics, comments and Layouts or backgrounds are hiding.



The first one we found with an awesome assortment of both layouts for MySpace, Hi5, and Friendster was DazzleJunction(this is the link to the Fall Layouts page) and this is the direct link to the Fall HTML Graphics and Comments Page. 10 pages of Fall HTML Graphics and comments and 5 pages of layouts geared toward the Fall Season. For future reference, Dazzle Junction also has an outstanding selection of Layouts and Graphics for all times, Holiday, Season, or not. Glitter, generators, MySpace Tweaks (these are neat helpers) for when you want to center out your friends or comments box, hide your friends from other visitors, scroll through your friends and shorten the box, hide the detail box and more. With some added basic HTML and CSS How To to boot! Along with 2009 calendars and personalized avatars and be sure to add Dazzle junction to your list of MySpace Friends with the easy link just on the Dazzle Junction site if you dig their stuff.





All4MySpace offers layouts, codes, graphics, and news. All 4 MySpace has over 130,000 free MySpace Layouts choices and under the "Nature" Layouts they have a kickin' Brad Pitt Legends of the fall Layout (if you are a fan, you just have to see this one:) with over 28 pages of more Fall Layouts to choose from. Over 16 pages of MySpace Fall Graphics and over 5 pages of Glitter Fall Graphics. It would do you well to come here first or second in your search for the best Fall Layouts for you. Their selection is tremendous and the quality is tops as well.



All4MySpace also offers generators along with the premade or design your own layouts. A layout stealer too if you must "Have" your friends exact layout.

Topbun.com is a site for layouts as well, but the real draw here, what makes them clever and unique is the selection of "Skinny" layouts you can get. It isn't such a cut and dry site and not quite as easy as the first two, but a small selection of great Fall Layouts.

We visited a few others like FreeCodeSource.com and found their site to have a small but cute selection of Fall design. MSNerdsLayouts.com has very little but some Fall Layouts. MySpaceIsUgly.com has a minor selection of Fall Layouts a few more than half are on the girly side, but if that is what you need, here you go. Satisfaction has some great art work but they are a bit on the link happy side.

Onto Pyzam.com and CoolChaser.com, two of the drop all very hands down best Layout sites for Blogger (Googles Blogspot) and for MySpace Layouts.


Pyzam is the layout of choice for one of my favorite sites backgrounds Under-The-Sea



Check them out for a Blogspot blog sites layout, but be certain to put it up early in the creation, sometimes adding or changing out you Blogger background will delete the widgets you have created in the sidebar. I would give it a try and if they will be deleted (the widgets) Blogger will let you know before to give you an option not to continue. Best to set your blog up the way you would like it from the beginning.

Cool Chaser has the very easiest and a very large selection of MySpace Layouts and Backgrounds. Your selection is from a plethora of photos from sites like Flickr. So, a Fall Layout is really at your service here.

Enjoy the Seasons!

Teen Girls Radio Presidential Election 2008



An example of the hesitation, complication, and delay of choice for teens in America on the Presidential Election 2008 that I have personally witnessed, having teenagers of my own, has been a Blog Talk Radio Show. With eagerness a show was scheduled by a group of 18 year olds to cover the points of interest in the election and a mix of all of this put together and more stood in their way. Their initial thoughts on the show were that they were steadfast in their decisions on who they each wanted to be the new President of the United States. They realized early in the research procedure that this was not going to be as easy a show as they had originally believed.

Few 18 year olds are confident in the area of politics and political discussion and were stepping a bit out of their realm. This is a brilliant example of learning as you go, incredible life lessons, taking on any task with youthful enthusiasm and youthful spirit that being 18 years old embodies in the World. One teen was sure she did not even wish to vote at first but after doing some research decided that her vote does count and has not yet definitively chosen a candidate. Others are still set in their original choice of John McCain.

Blogs and Social Networks Fanbox



Fanbox is a very unique social network. When you log into Fanbox it resembles (or rather, looks just like ;) your desktop! You can share files with others and also keep your files in storage right on Fanbox. Instant message capabilities in Yahoo, AIM, GMail, and MSN all at once without any downloads. IM others right on Fanbox to meet new friends. On Fanbox, your friends are listed as "fans". Adding applications to your site is a similarity to Facbook as are the "Pings". Pings are somewhat like a Facebook "Poke" and allow you to Poke, Wink, Hug, and Smack your fans. There is an asking questions feature here as well with questions like "Whats Your Favorite Color?" ready to go or type up your own.

As always with social network sites, watch out for the ones who are just there to "hook up". Unless of course, that is your goal as well, either way, just be sure to portray yourself accordingly :)

Blogs and Social Networks Halloween Profile Dress Up



Once you get your personal layout profiles to your liking, why would you then wish to change it? When changing a profile layout, sometimes you feel at a loss because you have worked so hard to get your profiles at many Blogs and Social Networks "Just Right". No need to worry about this at all if you have a notepad or other saver system in your my documents, just copy and paste straight from your "about me" section of your social network directly to a save section in your documents, notepad, word, or other program. Then after the special event, holiday, or new creation for your layout, background, or profile, you can always copy and paste it right back into your "about me" or other section of your profile layout area.



This is how I placed the Green Ghosty with the hat!

I added the background code as a post to this blog site, not on the sidebar but as an actual post and it took as a replacement for the original background image to my original blog layout. I did not adjust the layout code at all either so all I will need to do to change it back to the original graphic image is delete the post :) Fun to tweak and change blogs and social networks in new and unique ways :)

As you build your new layout by adding your choice contact table, cursor, falling objects, graphics, sounds, and more, label the order of each as you go or always choose the same order. Place enter spaces between each item and you will know which is which by counting down the order, if your cursor is always third and your background is always last, you will know which to change if you aren't happy with the final outcome and overall look of your layout.

Using CSS profile backgrounds and layouts with sites like Friendster and Ning is very different in the "tweaking" of the premade layouts than the regular HTML codes used at sites like MySpace and Blogspot. The sheer number of premade layouts available not only makes this layout process easier by copying and pasting the entire code, you also get a first hand look at the coding. Later on, when you start thinking about learning a bit more to adjust these codes, having viewed them already, will help in your understanding greatly when you go to "tweak" them.

Halloween Ning layouts and Friendster layouts are CSS codes which many profile, background, and layout sites have already set up with premade designs and the wealth of premade layouts for HTML coding profile Blogs and Social Networks will actually make the choosing a difficult process.

Along with the numerous graphics, generators, countdown tables, contact boxes, animations, comments, and more, many sites host the coolest of backgrounds and layout designs for Halloween and other holidays.



Some of the sites I found that sport some great selections of Halloween Layouts for your Social Network profiles include: Wish A Friend with twenty-four pages of choice Halloween design layouts including a variety from very mild, children quality designs to scary graveyards to some gore; Halloween Joys has a site that offers some fairly decent, creepy animated GIFs along with some easy to post Halloween Flash Games and an interesting History and Traditions of Halloween section; Graphics Arcade is a site mostly for a good selection of Halloween Graphics. Their Halloween Layouts are a bit limited in number but they may just have the one you were looking for; Cool Holiday Graphics and Holiday Joys are yet a few more with some interesting Halloween Graphics, Layouts, and Backgrounds.





Firebug for the Firefox browser has an addon to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and Javascript live on any webpage. This may be an answer for you to successfully "tweak" your codings.

Enjoying the Holidays with an attractive, time sensitive, stirring profile layout is just another exciting part of sharing Blogs and Social Networks with the Internet World.
