When MySpace was popular, you could sometimes stumble upon profiles that looked like this. MySpace's HTML/CSS customization was a great feature.

It was the gateway to a career in software for several people that I know. It's a pity we don't trust users with freedom like that anymore.

I've always thought if myspace had .js support we would have an army of quite diverse programmers.

Some of the girls from my school were absolute guns at myspace profiles! Put me to shame :)

I myself got started from neopets and then myspace to foster my interest in a career (with a healthy bit of WoW botting).

Indeed! Great article on that: https://rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/2019/01/30/html-css-and-... "many of us without a computer science background are here because of the ease of starting to write HTML and CSS."

Yes! Back in high school, one of the most impressive MySpace profiles I ever encountered was by a peer who went on to build Lil Wayne's website.
