Alright.

So I think as you know there is a bar of tools above the type box when you hit reply.

There are small buttons that include a bold button, italize, underline and slash-through. Basics. I can see that you know about the sizing that makes things large or tiny. To the left of that box there is an A in a blue coloring if you click it another box pops on your screen and you see a bunch of colors that can change the color of your text..

As you've also noticed people have borders and divders as well as pictures. You can get these off photobucket easily. You can get all sorts of dividers and images that you can use.

Alignment is also very often used when creating these.

I generally prefer the smaller text in the middle.
I do have troubles with the colors, specifically the ones that aren't provided in the above styling options.
Where do you get those?

I myself only know of a few others outside the text box. Like this ---> LadyDuskLight or AnythingGoesRolePlay or Role-Play.

I know you can use Tek tek but I don't want to remember the specific color I want is #2bhd85, or that nonsense

I like to experiment a little. Like, write some sample text, then color it, then change the little thingy.

Like this: samplesamplesample

See the spot in the coding where it says "darkred"? You can type in different colors and it usually changes. I've tried lots of different stuff.

''''''''''''''''''
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Those are just two different colors: lightblue and orange

The way I actully do it is if I see a color I like in a post I just hit quote and take the information of the color and post it in a Microsoft Word Document and put what color it is and such.

Simpler and much faster if you ask me. I've never used the tek-tek stuff all that much to be honest.

Thanks, I shall experiment with it all later.
As for graphics, How do you know where to place them?

I just sorta mess around.....Like, when I have some extra time on my hands, I just put in different color names. Pretty much everything I can think of. Lime green, light blue, sky blue, orange, maroon, I think I tried toffee brown once, but I don't think it worked.

Photobucket.

Look up pictures and on the side you'll notice a box. In that box there are two things you'll need.

IMG code and DIRECT LINK.

Direct link is what I use for pictures.

IMG CODE is what I use for borders and dividers like I used in the starter post.

With IMG CODE you can only put images in either the
center
left
or
right
.

But with the DIRECT LINK you can place image either on the left or right of your text. Here is an example.

This is IMG CODE

User Image


center align

User Image


right align

User Image


left align
----------
The word will only appear under these. Not next to them.

But with DIRECT LINK you can place images side-by-side to text like this...

User Image
Like this image is being put to the left of my text.

User Image
This is to the right.

Here's what I have for my shapeshifters posts.
I worked on it for a while but I don't think it's perfect just yet.
