Myspace related question

    I'm relativly new to myspace and I've decided to take the plunge and try and see if I can generate some business through it

    (Here's my profile - feel free to add me if you want
    www.myspace.com/westofirelandevents)

    Anyways, when I look at other people's profiles I see the comments made on their page. A lot of the time people are posting large graphics as part of the comment and I just want to know how they do this.

    I'm sure it's fairly straightforward but I don't know where to even look; is there a signature feature? Do I just type in straight HTML?
    I just want to know how they do it, as most of them are basically embedding small graphic versions of their flyers for their gig on there and I think it's a great way to advertise.

    I mean it's myspace so it shouldn't be all that complicated but rather than spend the next half hour blundering through all the menus I thought it'd be much easier if I just asked here.

    1. Write a new comment.
    2. Then go to websites that allows you to have a picture embeded in the comments. Just search Google "myspace.com comments" e.t.c and you will find thousands of these websites.
    3. Grab the code e.x
    <a href=http://www.coolmyspacecomments.com><img src=http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff282/ky9rg/hifunny/03.jpg title="MySpace Comment Codes"  border=0></a><br><a href='http://www.coolmyspacecomments.com'><font size="2">Glitter Graphics & Comments</a> </font>                  
    Code (markup):
    4. Copy & Paste it into your comment.

    Actually that's not right, Myspace accepts (certain) HTML elements in comments, however if you put a link in a comment (or anywhere else on myspace) it will be redirected through msplinks.

    Does it accept something along the lines of: <img src = "http://myURLhere/images/whatever.jpg">

    it accepts any link, and the image will show, it will just be redirected to msplinks.com to prevent link spam, and the above works normal

    Right, so I can do just as mentioned above, but it will be converted to msplinks, just as my web address is on my profile.

    Incidentally, a lot of these myspace profiles have whopping huge page rank - is there any way to get myspace to follow links directly?
