I haven't changed it as much or as often as i would like as far as layoutand whatnot. but i use that time to send out hapy birthday comments to "friends" and reading messages. I try to post blogs that resond to questions from those messages.

The initial set up took about an hour. That includes me finding HTML for a layout that I wanted and adding our first few friends, which were maily the ladies in the office and salesmen and managers. From there our friends list grew by friends of employees and branched outfrom there.

I try to change the layout according to the season. When there is no holiday I use a brand specific layout.

Any suggesttions are welcome. You can see our Myspace page by going to www.myspace.com/rainbowcdj
