Over the weekend I have spent two hours (I'm not exaggerating: it was one hundred and twenty minutes, at least) trying to figure out how to post a profile picture on my MySpace page.
Eventually I decided to create an album and upload a picture to that and see if somewhere I could move it to be the profile pic. Then I get, "Based on your current settings some users might not be able to see ANY of your photos."
And then, on finding myself back at the sort of 'view the profile' stage rather than 'edit the profile', I discover the picture of my ugly mug which I uploaded is in fact by some devious and unannounced default, my profile pic. So now I don't dare upload any more photos to the album in case that screws it up.
I just don't understand MySpace, and the Help is woeful.
Actually I was reading on my nephew's page what I thought were some - admittedly rather short - blog entries, but I've since discovered that actually they are 'bulletins', not blogs. What?!?
I'm so glad I'm using Blogger for my... erm... blog, because it does exactly what it says it's going to... and with no flashing ads.
Mind you, MySpace is interesting to search through, and I have discovered 159 alumni of my old school, and actually started to chat to one of them, which is quite interesting. He also lives in London, and is a video editor.
