remember view your own profile as if you're a stranger to your page and who's very fond of criticisms, so one criterion would be:
* never put excessive pictures and avatars, either animated or static, on your page. you know, the loading time.

Well too much emphasis is given to the "form" yet the substance is treated as underdog.
A profile should have a "theme" sort of. It basically sells yourself but it should have an ambience or atmosphere sort of thing... that gives out a message...
Be creative in writing too. Of course rule #1: Good written English with no grammatical blunders whatsoever.
So the dont here is: Don't take substance for granted.

Don't upset yourself.
Don't post any bogus info to rise yourself.
Don't be selfish(Hope you get my point!!)
Avoid high memory images.

Who would want to upset oneself in his/her own page? lmao
Bogus info... hmm I think it's a case to case basis... In social networking websites like friendster, some people do it for humor, some people do it for fun (doesn't hurt, eh) and etc...
I mean, if I wanted a profile with all my honest to goodness info, I would better do it off in a homepage or a personal website. But, who would want all his personal info out there for the whole wide world to see. LOL
With the latest computers and high speed internet connection these days, graphics and videos and mp3s aren't really a problem anymore especially if they are included in one's page as part of the design and execution.
Some people just want to show off... They have a target audience and not necesarrily to please or attract everybody... even on social networking websites like friendster! :0)

I want profiles that are easy to navigate either css or overlay...
But the loading of the profile must be easy.... Or its gonna wreck the brain of the visitor....

the fact is, nobody ever really cares except the owner. friendster for the most, is a hobby. It is self-flattering doing all those complex layouts. what is important and rewarding is that there are friends communicating with you. how your layout looks is i guess of minor importance to others.

yup..you right nester..i agree with you..
mine is very simple..there's 2 friend of mine complain bout my fs.first, it is too slow to loading.2nd, the testimania is annoying..
therefore, i make up my mind to use simple layout, no video or any addon that might keep my page slower and i dont use testimania anymore..
as an owner of the fs page, we also must listen to what our friends said instead of keeping your layout looks great..
but from tweaking your fs, you learn something,don't you?
that's why i still keep my fs looks great but simple..
but now im not using any addon coz fs always update..

Hehehe your right
