User:Destiny Calling/Signature Tutorials

To make an amazing, yet simple signature, you can follow this tutorial. To start, we'll talk about font and span.

Font and Span
I use font more myself, but it is pretty complicating. To use font, you can only use some colours as words, but the rest, if you want to be creative, you have to you colour codes.

Span gives you more options. You can use more colour words, like Red, Purple or Blue.

But, like I said, I'm more of a font person myself, so I'll start with that...

Font
Now, to start off simple, I'll show you how to color your text.

Say you want your text to be red, and you want it to link to your user page, this is what you'd write, if you just want your name and nothing fancy:

Username

And so, this is what you'd get: Username. Just remember to write   at the end so it's only that bit that's coloured. Unless you want all of it Red.

You can also change the font of your signature. The same applies, except you write font face and you write a font style. You want it to be Century Gothinc, then you'd write this:

Username

And you get this: Username. There are several fonts that actually work with this way of working. I don't know all of them, but I'll figure them out and put them up another time.

Adding a background. Pretty simple. You want a green background, just type in this:

Username

The above results in: Username

Now, to border with a background, its a little bit more complicating, but it can still be done. Although, in all honesty, I'd rather avoid these.

Username

That gives you: Username. Unfortunately, I don't know how to change the border colour, that is an advantage that span has. I do know how to change the thickness of the border or even the style...kinda> But, I'll leave that for now.

Now, to combine it all!

Username

I'm just going to leave out the border for now, but if you put in the above, this is what you'll get: Username.
