It was proposed by Marcos that we establish some guiding principles about what it means to be Ninja. Interestingly, when I found his comment, I was logged on to write up a piece about not copying. I think it's much more interesting to say that it's about more than not copying, but it's that you should desire to create an original expression. MySpace Ninjas do more than stylize the MySpace interface, they change it. They add features they want and hide features they don't. It's about experimentation and improving. We draw inspiration from each other, but we seek originality. I want to see original approaches to profile layouts for the gallery. Try things like reducing the links in your nav bar to the ones you want. Add new links to new features. Have multiple nav bars. Add a comments form, message form, blog subscription link, and other features you want to emphasize. If you take someone else's layout and just make minor adjustments, that not enough to be Ninja. I want to see original thought. I created the Ninja gallery as a reference point for all of us to see what people are doing out there. I hope to see the gallery's popularity grow to a point where it will discourage copying because people will know they stole from a profile from the Ninja gallery. At the same time, there are 50 million profiles on here, so if I've selected work for the gallery that you believe was someone else's work or your own, let a brother know. I've never clicked on a Featured Profile before. I just learned today from some folks who advertise through MySpace that people have been tricking out profiles commercially. I'm amazed how well I avoid these (cause I know they are ads) as they've been around for some time. I was about to add their profile to the gallery and I had a moment where I realized I didn't want to put the commercial work in with the individuals work. I've decided I want to organize the gallery not by profiles, but by designers, er I mean Ninjas. If designers have multiple profiles (like the prolific Rathy), I'll display their portfolio. If you have some ideas about what it means to be Ninja, contribute.
