User blog:Peddielover14/Profile Tutorial

So lately I have noticed that a few users were wondering how to add a colored background to their profile. Because it is kind of hard to explain, I created a photo tutorial to make it easier to understand.

Solid Colored Backgrounds
Step 1. Copy and paste this coding onto your profile.

{| align="center" {|style="width:650px; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, Color, Color);background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, Color, Color); -moz-border-radius:6px; -webkit-border-radius:6px; border: 6px black; margin: 10px auto; padding: 15px;" align="center; color:black; font-family: Lucida Grande"
 * - valign="top" width="100%; style="text-align:center; font color: Color; font-size: 200%; margin:0px -10px 0px -10px; font-variant: small-caps;"
 * colspan="2" |

It should look like this:

Step 2. To make the background color, replace the following (circled in picture), with whatever color you want (for colors, look here)

Now, the coding should look like this (differences circled, color codes may vary):



Step 3. To choose a font color, replace the following (circled) with whatever font color you want.



Now the coding should look like this:



Step 4. Below the coding, add text (or whatever you want to be on your profile). Then, below your text, add a |}



Step 5. Click Preview, and your profile should now look something like this:



If you like the way it looks, click publish.

--- I hope that helped! If it didn't, then I really don't know how to explain it better... so sorry! =D If you find a mistake in this tutorial, please tell me! I will try my best to fix it! I was going to make this tutorial longer (with directions on adding tabs and a border to the colored background), but it's getting late, and Capture is almost on... so I will do that another time.
