This code is inserted into the top part of your profile editing page (style Declerations). If you use an image for a background remember to put a background color in as well for those people that have images turned off. To change the background color you use a Hex Code (you an find a list of some basic hex codes here). To use an image you must upload it to your own server (such as flikr or photobucket) as some websites don't allow hotlinking (stealing their bandwidth) and can get quite angry if you do. You then copy and paste the url into the space labeled 'url goes here' (leave the ' in place otherwise it wont work.

body
{
background-image: url('url goes here');
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-color: 000000;
background-position: top right;
}

How do I centre my text?

<center>
before the text that you want centred, to stop your text from being centred use this code
</center>

Why can't people see my font?

You may be using a css prompt such as 'western' or 'fancy', to allow people to see your font add more commands in such as 'arial' or 'verdana'. You may also have picked a colour that blends too well with your background, simply choose another background or font colour.

How do I change colours?

The easiest way to edit your font colours is by using css. It's not very hard and in the long run it's so much easier when you feel like editing your profile.
You put this code in your top editing box
h1 {font-family: serif, verdana, arial;
color: 000000; font-size: 16px}

You can change the font family (what the font looks like) by adding or removing commands (such as western, fantasy, script), the font color and the font size here. You then put this code in the second box (where all your text goes) before your text.
<h1>
Fill your text in after that and put </h1> at the end.

You can have as many of these as you wish, simply change it from h1 to h2 (or whatever number you wish). The great thing about this code is when you want to edit your profile all you need to do is change the code in the top box and it will change the commands right through your profile. No more copying and pasting for hours on end :P

How do I add a picture?

To add a picture to your profile you need to first upload your image to an image hosting site (such as flikr or photobucket) and then use this code <img src="url here">

Where can I find the codes?

You can find most html/css codes on various help websites. You can google 'html guide' and you'll get thousands of websites crop up. Or you can check out PPM's own html guides.
