Guide Review - MySpace - Add Image Links 2
MySpace - Add Image Links 2 is one of the best scripts available for members of the social networking phenomenon. By providing an extensive control panel anywhere a user's image is displayed, it gives you the ability to do just about anything without having to go from page to page. MySpace users have become smarter at masking things such as friends lists and comment links using customized CSS. This script gets around all of that trickery by providing you with the functionality you need without ever having to visit someone's cleverly crafted profile page. Also, you will find that having access to the majority of MySpace's user functions in a neatly arranged icon set is extremely convenient. There really isn't much of a downside to having this installed and I highly recommend adding it to your MySpace toolbelt right away.
