(Unofficial) MySpace Toolbar for Firefox

(Update 6/24/07, this seems to be causing some problems with MySpace now.) Hello, my name is Jeremy, and I'm a MySpace-aholic. I swear, no internet site has caught my attention and held on to it like MySpace has. I haven't been wasting my time either, nearly everything I've learned about html, css, and website creation in general has come from monkeying around with my MySpace layouts.

One day I ran across this cool little tool, a MySpace toolbar for Firefox (sorry Internet Explorer fans). Doesn't do anything ground breaking, it just makes otherwise time consuming tasks considerably easier.

Say you're creating a message, and you decide you'd like your text to be a different font, one size bigger, and everything in bold. In the past, you'd have to hand code that, and you'd have no idea if you had did it correctly until the message had been sent. With (Unofficial) MySpace Toolbar, you have this little bar appear above areas you'd enter text, and it acts like a common word processor. Just select which options you'd like, and type away. Directly below the area you're typing in will be a 'preview window,' so you can see in real time what it will look like when you're finished.

Have friends that hide their comments, friends, ect? Go to that person's page, and on the toolbar, there is a 'View User' button. This gives you quick links to that stuff, their pictures, videos, blogs, everything you should normally be able to view.

Have friends with hidden contact tables, or comment buttons that wont work because they think they know how to code but they really can't? You can use the 'Contact User' button to reach out and touch 'em.

One click is all it will take to post a new blog, you can set it up to automatically log you in when you open Firefox, and more. Tons of features. I know a lot of folks aren't real big on toolbars, but this one is indispensable for all of us MySpace addicts.
