.don't used the pop-alert( they're very annoying and people will never visit to your page again! )
.don't make your border bigger40px when you're using a border code.
.don't place manyyy videos in your page. trust me, nobody gonna view them
.don't used that automatic testi/pic comment receiver code.don't suffer us
.don't used the page transmitter tricks( they make computers freeze when others visit your profile )

thats right...specially the video thingy
itz a better idea to used MP3 players than putting an annoying videos there

Nice list.. I agree with those. However I do have that pop-alert. 
I choose not to overlay my profile cos I noticed it freezes on most computers.
And most people visit net cafes, most net cafe pc's are badly maintained.
These occurance (freezing) annoys much of your visitors.
Instead of putting both mp3s and videos together, I prefer to choose one.
Either mp3 or video. I don't like hearing too many things on my profile.
I also don't accept flash testi's with annoying music/sounds.
It might sound rude, but I talk to my friends about why I didn't approve it.
It's good to atleast tell them why you didn't accept it.
Or if you want to accept it, try accepting the profile on a later date.
That would put the testi on the back part of your testimonials hehe.
I choose not to put too many designs on my page, they look cluttery.
I like it simple, but unique. Clean and easy to navigate. That's it.

nice advices, it's true but i prefer to use OVERLAYOUT, be sure that your overlay is not too annoying for your visitor or else your visitor will not visit again your profile...bein' unique is gud coz u don't have to worry that might other people well get mad at u if u imitate his or her profile even meh i hate those people imitating my workz..do they don't have their own ideas? *Knock! Knock!* yah..i agree also that other codes like the testimania,auto-pic comment, or whatsoever it annoys me a lot that's why sometimes i don't like to view again their profiles, also those codes makes my computer Lag!

MOST people who hate overlay layouts probably dont know how to make one..
but css is also nice though.

nice tips.
might as well add a few of my own dont's.
- don't put to much glittery stuffs, dollies and all that. like, hey... you don't want your profile to look like a shining shimmering splendid market of glitters right?
- one video is enough, as the author above said, no one's gonna view them. mybe some by accident coz they have nothing to do but putting 2 or more videos may slow down your page and also please give consideration to those who are not on DSL, CABLE or SATELLITE internet.
- those pages (esp those with overlayed profiles) with "YOU-MUST-LEAVE-A-TESTIMONIAL" prompt are annoying. TESTIMONIALS are given, not even asked or required.
- match your colors. don't get tooo monotonous with PINK. it hurts my eyes and yours too. =P
and yes, i know how to make overlayed profiles but i don't use one on my friendster profile coz it's not user friendly. peace?

yeah i hate those automatic testi and pic comments.... they're really annoying... and i try to avoid visiting their profile...
i used to like overlay profile.. but now i dont... i dont know.. i like using css.. and i dont really like covering my whole profile... although i admire people who can make a good overlay.... im still parcticing html... but im not gonna use it in friendster... maybe in freewebs..

yah. ryt.
its frickin annoying.errr

+don't put too many slideshows of your pictures..one slideshow is enough really it is. 

-Offline- |

waaah... yer right pipz..
what I think:
- too much glittery and dolly stuff makes your profiles over-decorated, even though you would claim that you're a garly-gal.. argh.
- too much flash stuff slower the loading of yer pages.. including all those videos and mp3s. I ALSO suggest, choose only one. mp3 or mp4. if you're having an mp3 going on with a video ongoing, it makes everything a mess. X_x and if ever you decide to choose video, it's videO, not videoS. two would probably be okay, but.. one is better. three is a disaster.
- yep.. only ONE slideshow of pix.. don't be too proud of your faces..
- and
to that testi- demanding thingy. it's SO ANNOYING! and YEAH, besides, testimonials are GIVEN, not asked. people tend to have a bad impression on people who keep on demanding for testis.. hello?! people who do that are just plain.. people-who-want-to-let-the-world-know-how-"GREAT"-they-are!
- yeah, overlays are good too.. but CSS - plain are better and simple. and they don't take time to load. personally, I hate pages that load for a LONG time. I simply ex-em asap. X_x
- and yeah, be unique.
I SOMETIMES get ideas from others, but I USUALLY use my own creativeness.. and with that, people will get to know who YOU really are, and yeah, you wouldn't have to worry about other people who might claim that you're a copycat.

I agree with these: .don't place manyyy videos in your page. trust me, nobody gonna view them..don't make your border bigger40px when you're using a border code..
But I don't with this:
.don't used the pop-alert( they're very annoying and people will never visit to your page again! ) - They still visit my page.
Anyway, nice advice.
