The wonderful world of layouts

Aloha! friends and visitors....
Been busy at college trying to figure out UML and SQL (YES we do some seriously hardcore stuff at uni GRIN) with the semester nearing completion we are rushing around finishing up or trying to finish up coursework.. truthfully some of us have not even started on the given assignments but no worries all will be well after some late night brainstorming sessions at Uni. Anyway I was trying to finish up some tutorials for my database lectures and it was about 1am in the morning I was feeling restless but did'nt feel like doing any thing serious either.. so having nothing better to do i went to my hi5 and was checking out some of my friends profile and comparing their happening profile layouts to my boring one , I decided that my profile had long been neglected enough , I visited some of the sites offering all those flashy texts and funky plugins for hi5 layouts and checked them out, and I'll tell you there are whole heap of them out there.. while trawling through these sites I came across this particular website that offered to generate you own custom profile , which ws interesting seeing that some of the premade ones on offer are already used by about a thousand other people.. thinking a one custom profile would give my profile a more individual look I decided to try my hand at generating my own profile.. the generator was a godsend because it freed me off the pesky task of writing lenghty HTML code which I truly suck at (its all those goddamn tags .. I cannot for the love of god keep track of them ).. anyways I made my first profile and uploaded it and fell in live with my handiwork :D .. So I thought"why not make another one".. big mistake ... to date I've lost count of the number of profiles I have created IT IS ADDICTIVE ..
Basically I'm blissfully losing myself in Layout land.. Its quite simple actually you search for a background image that suits your taste or you can upload an image to a photobucket account and then go to the online editor add the image and then select a colour scheme that you like.. after this its you creativity that comes into play.. you can get lost in all this for hours .. god knows I did.. but its all good fun ... any one interested in custom layout should visit pimpmyprofile
or Hi5decor..
But be warned you might find yourself up at ungodly hours editing layouts.... have fun and be creative...
