myspace center single column profile

Center Profile Into One Single Column

This is the only source I know of, which offers solutions for a one column profile, which does NOT require that one hide a significant chunk of the default myspace page.
I have a few different solutions.
The one which works best for you, depends on what content you want to keep.

Before writing my own solutions, I played with multiple strategies, and evaluated each one for its strengths and weaknesses.
Choosing a MySpace Profile Centering Strategy

Strategy 1) Place Code in the Networking Box.
This effects fewer page elements than strategies 2 or 3
[This was my favorite, however I removed this strategy due to the lack of consistency in myspace, related to converting code entered in this space.]

Strategy 2) Place Code in Heroes Section
[This concept exists in cyberspace already. However after testing the various solutions available, to see if I would just point to an existing solution instead of writing one, I realized that the exiting solutions all had major flaws. I tested each one on a profile with no other customizations. This doesn't mean there is not a better solution out there, but I did not find one. ]

Conceptually, this is the same as Strategy 1, however it requires that a lot more content be placed absolutely within our div (or rendered display:none).

It is the best solution if you do NOT want to display any of the following:
groups
details (or if you have custom details)
schools
companies
networking
However it DOES work even if you want to display some or all of the above. In this case you want to use the 2nd Example, where I return these items to the profile.

Example 1 (using Strategy 2).
Place the below code block at the END of either the Heroes OR the last field, in the interests, where you have data.

{!-Positioning and display of all left side elements which were below the Interests section-!}

{!-If you do not want to show interests-!}
.interestsAndDetails {display:none;}

{!-The below elements from the left column must either be rendered display:none; or placed using absolute positioning.
The absolute positioning is relative to the outer div not the entire page-!}

.userProfileDetail {display:none}
.userProfileSchool {display:none;}
.userProfileCompany {display:none;}
.userProfileNetworking {display:none;}

</style>
<i class="off">!-End make page ONE centered Column-!</i>

Example 2 (strategy 2)
In the below example I return the rest of the left column (the stuff that normally comes after the interests) to the profile.
The Below solution has TWO code blocks, you need both of them
Put this code in either the heroes section (after your heroes data and any data you have there to create custom tables below this section). Block 1:

<span class="off">!-Close tables out to level 1-!</span> 
</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>

<span class="off">!-Create a Div to be used to more accurately position the stuff below this point, that we want to display-!</span>
<div class="myDleftBottom" style="position:relative; top:0px; left:0px; right:0px;" >

<span class="off">!-Open same number of tables we closed-!</span>
<table><tr><td>
<table class="off"><tr><td>
<table><tr><td>

<span class="off">!-End BLOCK 1 to make page ONE centered Column-!</span>

The next block can go anywhere (except nested between other style tags since it contains style tags).
The stuff in bold is stuff you probably want to edit. For each left column element, which was initially below the interests section, you will need to either render it display:none OR position it absolutely within the outer containing div.
If you want it gone, set it like I have set the schools (.userProfileSchool).

<style>
.i {display:none;}
{!-remove clear gifs to get better centering-!}
table img {display:none;}
td {width:auto}
table table table img {display:block;}
table table table.profileInfo img {display:inline;}
table table table.profileInfo td.text img {display:block;}

{!-Positioning and display of all left side elements which were below the Interests section-!}

{!-Move down right column stuff. top px value must equal margin-bottom.  This is the amount you want to move this down to insert details, schools, companies, networking -}
.extendedNetwork {position:relative; top:400px; margin-bottom:400px;}

{!-The below elements from the left column must either be rendered display:none; or placed using absolute positioning.
The absolute positioning is relative to the outer div not the entire page-!}

.userProfileDetail {position:absolute; top:10px; right:50%; margin-right:-150px}
.userProfileSchool {display:none;}
.userProfileCompany {position:absolute; top:195px; right:50%; margin-right:-150px}
.userProfileNetworking {position:absolute; top:300; right:50%; margin-right:-150px;}

{!-OPTIONAL style stuff-!}
{!-ditch ugly gray behind bottom menu-!}
tr {background-color:transparent;}
{!-restore white to URL-!}
table.userProfileURL table tr {background-color:white !important}
</style>

Strategy 3) put Code in About Me Section
Place this code at the TOP of your about me section, BEFORE you about me content.

<span class="off">!-END Code to Center Band Profile in One Single Centered Column-!</span>

For another solution, with less code (not as accurate with the centering, and hides everything left below the heroes) which may meet many needs, you can try this:
