Guide Review - MySpace Rich Edit II
Myspace Rich Edit II is a great addition to your posting capabilities as it adds a traditional formatting menu which lets you easily modify appearance. If you don't have the HTML knowledge to do things such as underline or align your text then this script is a must-have. Even those of you familiar with the markup language will still find Rich Edit II useful as it can save a great deal of time. This should have been part of MySpace's feature set from the beginning, and installing this script is highly recommended.
