I think you've just entered into a cycle of web evilness. Notes. Digging. Notes. Digging. Better be careful or you'll fall deeper down the hole you've Dugg yourself. ;-)
(Yes, all that for a bad pun. I really need to pass out for about a week!)
I have actually been using something like this for quite a while for new releases. Myspace is a good way to get traffic.
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin-top: 1500em;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: 000; /*important not to use # */
background-image: url('yourimage.gif');
background-position: top center; /* for some reason, center center no longer works */
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
</style>
and you can just place a nice holder/coming soon page.
Also, please not you have to take out the comments, or at least the #. Myspace has filters that associate # with programming languages/hacks, I believe and will strip it from your code. And technically, the display: none; is a breach of myspace's conditions and terms, it states you are not allowed to HIDE ads. I simply move them.
Just a little shameless promoting. Works in FF and IE, I don't have a mac to test on.
Just another thing, and I am sure most of you have it, but you need something to disable the styles in order to actually save your profile like that. Web Developer works wonders.
nice one, i'm happy Myspace is only popular for band here in Belgium, good ol free music, oops we have Last.fm for that, remind me what we use MySpace for? to talk to friends the next day and talk about the comment? sad...

I prefer my liberal use of the <blink> tag and <marquee> wherever I can use it. I'm doing my part to help keep Myspace the cesspool that it is. :D

Ah, so true.
Always a good time, spurning MySpace. Worst web design on the web. L2 code, Rupert.

lol - actually sticking up for Myspace, shunning it, then telling people you are tired of shunning it is rather old too.
