Hack your MySpace friend count

If you are a MySpace user and you are using a custom CSS file for the design of your page, there is a hack that allows you to alter your friend count. Add this to your CSS:

redbtext:after { content: "00"; }

and "00" will be appended to the text that shows up after your friend count. For example, if your friend count used to say:

groker has 87 friends

It'll now say

groker has 8700 friends

You can add numbers, text, space, what ever you like. As another example, if you add this to your CSS:

redbtext:after { content: " worthless "; }

it will read

groker has 87 worthless friends

I think this is a pretty cool MySpace hack.

What's a CSS
– Added by an anonymous user on Apr 03, 2008 at 4:09 pm
CSS is the Cascading Style Sheet, it's how style/formatting gets applied to web pages.

For this to work, you need to add a period (.) before the redbtext so that it reads something like:

.redbtext:after { content: " worthless "; }

Did you make sure that this CSS is put inside of <style> tags like so:

<style>
   .redbtext:after { content: " worthless "; }
</style>

It doesn't work with IE, view your page with Foxfire and you'll see it.
