Livejournal/Myspace

So i continue to look at popular sites and what they have going for them, some people suggested i take some features from blogging sites like http://www.Myspace.com and http://www.Livejournal.com, after looking the sites over the only thing i think i would use is the userpic option. I really don't want my site filled with blogs about how depressed people are, or whats going on at work/school, whatever.. that's not what my site is about. This site will be about getting together with people, most get togethers are happy or exciting.. if people really wanted to they could create an emo gathering and by all means i will not stop them.. but i don't want other people to have to listen to it. Another thing i might use from them is the customizable homepage, most blogs you can create your background, give it music and images. I think that would be perfect for my site, that way people who see a gathering such as Zombie Holocaust, there could be a zombie picture in the background and maybe sore eerie music playing as well. it would allow the user to emphasize the feeling of the gathering..
