Center Friends and Comments

If All you want to do is center the friends and Comments put this at the bottom of your "who I'd like to meet" section:
</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>
<table class="myTclassFC"><tr><td>
<table style="display:none"><tr><td>
<table><tr><td>

If you have used the myspace "add video to my profile" the video will move bottom center with the friends and comments. This can easily be avoided by either
1) Putting the video at the end (within) the Meet Section.

2) Creating a custom space under the Meet section, BEFORE the above code block (the one to center the friends and comments) and placing your video there.

Other solutions I have seen for centering Comments:
Placed at the bottom of the Meet section:
</td></tr></table>
This one is given on so many different web pages That I do not know who to credit for it. It was the recommended solution in the myspace customizing forum at one time. But for some reason they changed it to one I think is really bad (but if it works for people, and they like it, then what I think shouldn't matter.)
This one really did work fine. It was this solution which led me to the one I now use. It may be unbalanced, But I believe it is still better than the one currently shown in the myspace customizing forum. (If they are still showing the one which does absolute placement with huge px values.)

The reason I recommend against the solution which just picks up the friend and comment section, and then places it back down using absolute placement, is because VERY FEW pages have consistent enough sizing for this to work. If your page does, then maybe this is the best solution for you.
But I recommend reading this first:Absolute Placement Woes

Put the code at the end of the Bio section.
The code to move the whole block bottom center works on band pages as well as standard pages.

Do you want your video to stay to the right?

The comment, related to the video, was for the standard page, not the band page.
On the standard page if one just chooses to add a video, it ends up below the meet section.

On your page you have a youtube video in your bio section.
If you want this to move center you need to put the code BEFORE the code to place the video.

Anything in the bio AFTER the point you add the code, should move center.
