Just want to say thank you for doing this write up on profiles! There are a lot of things to cover.
@Totalanimefan: It will take some time to complete but
I am so excited to hear the questions or just be able to help people make wonderful things :D
@Aly: Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will this guide. You are always so knowledgable about these kinds of things. I'm not good with CSS, so I have no questions.
@Totalanimefan: You are my ideal guinea pig then!! Where should I start? What would help to learn - what would you want to know?? :D
I just have some weird obsession with profiles I feel lame but hey they say do what makes you happy and this does make me happy
@Aly: Oh nice profiles make me happy too. XD
Maybe start with some popular edits. Like borders, how to move sections around.
@Totalanimefan: My goal is to have a massive glossary for the codes relating to each element on the page... I don't even know them all yet! :P
But for sure simple things like
Background images borders colors of background and text font styles and custom fonts
And then maybe more advanced things later
I would love to make a YouTube video or something for those though
Sorry on mobile haha
@Aly: Oh that sounds like a good idea to me~
