It takes quite a bit of work to get it right, but kudos if you find someone willing :3

There are a few things that explain it, though. Check out this thread, for starters:

Try Google. That's where I learned.

Edit: *sigh* Ok, sorry. That was a little clipped of me. I was just a little annoyed by your annoyance, since it sounded like you were unappreciative of a helpful gesture.

Because I was trying to help.

Let's see. Do you know anything about coding? Such as, the #000000 (or any number/letter combo) are the colors?

It explains almost everything you'll ever need to know about CSS for the TEFc.
You'll just need to be more patient and appreciative of our time.

I learned back in high

I learned back in high school, then forgot everything. I re-learned from all the threads here. It's relatively straight forward... but you ought to play around with it on your own, too. The best way to learn is through trial and error. You can do it! Smiling

It's quite simple if you know

It's quite simple if you know how to change hex codes, which is that string of numbers and letters in the CSS, after the #.

This site was what I used to

This site was what I used to explain the bare essentials when I first started coding, I'm in no way an expert but I learned most from just experimenting and playing around. After a few hours you start to understand the patterns, which codes control what parts of a blog. Start small and work your way up from there.

Erm.. I just can't get the hang of it. it's just a bunch of gibberish to me. Meh, I really would like to make a cool bio, but I don't think this is for me.

I feel like a bio should be something very personal that you take a lot of personal pride in creating :\ It doesn't really have the same effect when somebody else does it for you.

Here's another site to try. This is where I learned, way back in the day:

Frost, we're just trying to get your wings out so you can do this yourself. If you'd take the time to learn and practice, we'd be more willing to help you.

I know what you mean, Alpha.

I know what you mean, Alpha. It seems all gibberish to me too. I try to sit down and go through it all but get frustrated with it and give up. I'm just doing a simple bio with some pics and a little html. I'll figure out css later xD
