Pretty MySpace Layouts

MySpace's popularity has finally got a hold of you and you have put up your own MySpace site. But, if you like most MySpace users you find the ads annoying and limit your ability to truly express yourself in your MySpace layout. Wouldn't you like to find a way to remove them to create truly pretty MySpace layouts. Well you have come to the right place, by adding the following code snippets to your profile you will be able to remove the ads. This is the first step to creating your own pretty myspace layout.

Copy and paste the following CSS snippet into the "About Me" section of your MySpace profile. Note:The margin-left attribute on .main and .main table is half of you sites total width, and is a negative. For example if you sites width is 680, then margin-left should be set to -340px.


<style type="text/css">
* body {
overflow-x: hidden;
background: url(http://www.yoursite.com/background.gif) repeat;
}
* body table {
visibility: hidden;
width: 0px!important;
height: 0px!important;
overflow: hidden;
}
* body form {
visibility: visible;
display: block;
}
.comments {
position: absolute !important;
top: 0px !important;
visibility:hidden;
display:none;
overflow: hidden;
height: 0px;
}
.main {
width: 800px;
height: 500px;
margin-left: -400px;
position:absolute;
left:50%;
top:0px;
z-index:1;
visibility: visible;
border: 5px solid gray;
background: url(http://www.yoursite.com/background.giff) repeat;
}
.main table {
width: 800px;
height: 500px;
visibility: visible;
cellpadding:0px;
cellspacing:0px;
background: url(http://www.yoursite.com/background.gif) repeat;
}
</style>


Now, copy and paste this HTML snippet into the "I'd Like To Meet" section of your MySpace profile. Replace the "INSERT YOUR SITE HERE" with your own HTML to create your pretty MySpace layout. Note: Keep in mind that you CANNOT use id= on your divs because MySpace blocks them so Use class= instead.


<div class="main">
<table style="cellpadding:0px;cellspacing:0px;">
<tr>
<td valign="top">

INSERT YOUR SITE HERE

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="comments">
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td><br />


Once you have added this code to your site you are ready to get creative and develop your own pretty myspace layout or find a premade myspace layout. The slate is blank and ready for you to fill it.

Radon Gas - A Hidden Killer

Radon gas is a colorless, odorless, tasteless radioactive gas formed from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. Radon gas can exit the ground and seep into your home through any holes or crackes in the foundation (like a sump pit. Once in your home the radon can build up to dangers levels, if not removed in some manner.

Radon gas has been determined to be a carcinagen that can cause lung cancer. In smokers and non-smokers, exposure to high level of the radiocative gas can raise the risk of lung cancer significantly (studies done by the EPA have been performed that determine the risk based on the exposure to different concentrations of radon.)

So how do you determine if you have this hidden killer in your home. Well the only way to find out is to perform radon gas tests.

Testing for Radon Gas

There are two types of testing devices that can be used to detect radon in your home, passive and active.

A passive radon detection device requires no power source and are used by setting them in a room for a certain amount of time and then sending them to a laboratory for analysis. These devices can only measue the average radon levels in a particular room during the testing period.

An active device does require a power source and continuously monitors radon levels. This type of device is normally used by home inspection or air quality professionals and can show spikes in radon concentrations.

Which every device you choose always follow the manufacturers directions if you are perform the radon gas test yourself.
