This weekend, I plan to concentrate on your guide and try to develop my own personal profile! The visuals look very helpful.

But, I can't seem to understand your clarification of where this code and that code goes...
It's like... What content are you talking about?! gonk *shot for idiocy*

And out of curiosity, will you be updating the images sometime?

[mooncriest]

This looks veru useful, and out of fear of copy and steal of the coding you may not want to, but an example of a whole section would be nice. Just so we could see exactly how it should be ordered and written down on the page. I'm having some trouble understanding everything but workin on it, and will try more tommarow since its late. But If you took this into concideration I'd love that.

How would i do that?

[Mournos]

One word: Awesome. It helped clearing some doubts I had, and I've been doing profiles for about a year. Imagine what new people could do with this.

Thank you, the Gaia community is far more complete with this guide. heart heart

[Metalius]

Really? Dx

Okay all CSS codes which is everything we are doing in this page goes to the theme box.
The things that look like this: #about .links {color:hotpink;}

All your "content" (images, text, and things about you) will go in the about me section. This is the only area you are allowed to put text, images and such. Instead of "CSS" (like the one above), you can only use BBCODE which is what we are using in the forums.


Yay! : ) I hope this can help you understand more. If you need more clarification, just ask. dx
^ I hope that makes sense.




@mooncriest :: Oh, you mean if I were to create a theme you guys can follow up? Where I can demonstrate the easiest way to organize code? How to 'comment' ( ex: /* copyright 2008 */ )
codes?



Hn. Nice suggestion. : ) I shall do that, and PM you when it is finished. 3nodding





@xxrawrxxhaleyxx :: Haha, it's all good. I know it's a lot to take in. xD In this guide, I haven't discussed about status buttons. xD Pretty much you can have any sized buttons as you want, all you have to do is adjust the height and width of the #bar components of your #profile section (which is where it is). The reason why I am not so hot with status bar buttons because I rarely use it.

However, I will go in-depth on things I can improve on with this guide.
Thank you! : )

I can PM you when it is finished since you requested. ; )




@Ekus Krash :: Thank you! x ( <3333 heart heart I know, right? I wish I had this when I started. D :

@Metalius :: Thanksssssssss. T ___T <3

Yeah, think it'd be cool to include. I really <3 this, its helped me a lot, im still workin on it but Its coming well, and this is helpful. Actually teaches why the code you type, corresponds with what happens instead of a bunch of "here; plug in what you want". Very helpful and this really does deserve more comments then it does, I think anyone just starting should read this, it's helped me and it's actually fun to read, and learn an understanding of why things happen instead of just 'you just have to do it that wayKthnx?' If I had cookies, I'd share them with you for this :3

EDIT: Sorry to nitpick but in the "MULTIMEDIA" section it says you'd put a link to how to make your custom playlist and I don't see it below.

[Emesque]

If this guide were a movie, it'd receive SEVEN Oscar awards. cool heart

[BLOOMlNG]

LOL, very true Delicieuse. xD

This guide helped me a lot in my current profile. I visit this guide almost every time when I configure my profile.

[xhaleycakes]

Also, how do you make yer content Transparent? O.o

I'm glad I could hold your attention span for a period of time. xD <33 I thought I'm too boring when it comes to teaching, haha.


I'm sorry; I didn't implement it yet. I can't find the link right now, but the only one I know from the top of my head is Jazmin's playlist guide using myflashfetish. xD


By the way, I already created the theme you can use. I'm updating the post right now. xD

@Lixy :: LOLOLOLOLDAYUUUUUUUUUM. xD Thanks, Lix. lol heart *cries*

@EF IT :: ... made your life easier, eh? XP

@xxrawrxxhaleyxx :: OMG, I forgot about putting that. Thank you. Basically instead of putting colors like red or hexcolor like #00000 to make things transparent you simply type in transparent.

xD


#content {background-color:transparent;}

Yay! Really nice, and that's understandable on not finding one. I'll search for one, and if its good I can show it to you? Oh, and do you like to look at people's profiles when they finish (using your guide)?
