gamble to get a cool profile?/j

If you're interested in learning how to script stuff yourself I suggest taking a look at w3schools!

It's laid out really nicely so you can just have a look at the things you'd want on your profile :D

Only some general knowledge of HTML and maybe CSS is needed to understand the gist of it, then you can maybe take the base code for a theme and tweak it to your preferences :)

I did this with the cat icon that spins at the bottom of my screen (moved it to the side)

This WAS posted 2... years ago, but in case anyone from the future is looking, I'll tell you how I customised my profile with barely any HTML knowledge and no CSS knowledge (and you can check out my epik profile rn so yk i'm legit) 

There's 4 things I do:

1.) Okay, so baaaasically, what I've been doing was going to layouts that I like the look of, then searching through the code for what I like

So for e.g., since everyone has to provide a screenshot for what their layout looks like, i look for what I like within that screenshot. So it might be a gif, somewhere on the image. 

What I'll do is I'll search through the code using Ctrl + F, and put .gif in the search box, that way google will show me all the text in the layout code that has .gif in it and will highlight them w/ yellow/orange.

Then, I copy and paste every .gif into a new tab to find the one that I'm looking for, that matches what's in the screenshot if that makes sense. This process can take a while depending on the layout, but if you wanna customise ur page THAT badly like I did, you'll be fine. Just listen to some music or whatever whilst searching for it!

Next, I look at the section in the code that includes the gif that I want. In the layout code it might say something like this:

<img src="the.gif"/> (i've copy and pasted this so many times i can write it off-head, YAY LOL)

So this just inserts what's in the quotation marks (" ") into the, for e.g. "About Me" section or       "[username]'s intrests" section, etc. wherever you choose to enter it.

2.) In the beginning before I knew that I could take pieces of code from different layouts and put them together, what I did was:

I copy & pasted a layout code into my "About Me" section and just looked at things on my layout that I liked. Then, I tried to make sense of what the code for certain parts of the page that I liked may've been. For e.g. somewhere in the code it may say:

style (surrounded by <, >)

.profile {

bleh bleh bleh

colour: #00000

idontflippinknow

}

style (surrounded by <, /, >)

So I'll be like oh, this has something to do with idk, I'll change the colour and see what it does (it's to do w/ ur pfp on your profile, I believe)

And then I'll be like, oh so the colour change is here, I seeeee. Which in turn then helps me to understand what the code is doing and then if I decide I wanted a piece from another layout, but the pfp looks different in layout 2 than layout 1, I'll know where to look in order to change my layout 1 pfp to the pfp that layout 2 has. For e.g. some people have hearts around their pfp on their profile or a glowing border, or smthing else.

3.) If you see something on someone's profile that you like you can also search up tutorials, for e.g. you might like the gif in someone's pfp, that plays when u click on their page. What I did was search on google: "how to put a gif as profile picture on spacehey" and I saw some results and copy & pasted the code I found, and it worked.

4.) I feel like this one's a bit cheeky and cheating, but... Imma say it... So, I look at Source Code on the profiles I like!!! Yeah, I said it... I'm sorry... Idk if this is frowned upon, but I basically just right click then "View Page Source"/ Ctrl + U on some people's profiles. What this does is, it shows you ALL of the code that's used to customise their profile. So say I like the border that someone has around, a certain something. I'll use Ctrl + F and search "border", or if they aren't using a border, I'll search "shadow" (from box-shadow, I think) to find how they decorated it. But keep in mind I didn't have this knowledge beforehand, so how I got to know that I should search "Border", etc. was that I looked in the source code of the free layouts I had originally put in my About Me section before I knew some code. Sorry if that doesn't make sense.

But erm yeah, that's it! Just don't steal people's profiles whole. It's better to find pieces of profiles that you like and put em together. And if within their profile source code/page source you see something like: <--! Layout made by bleh bleh (www . spacehey . com / username/00000 etc.)--> above a piece of code that you're copying, leave it included when you Ctrl + C the code, don't delete it, because that's how people get credit from when they write codes. It's just respect and honesty.

Thanks for reading this far! Hope this helped. As this was basically how I did my whole profile LOLOL, yeah :] But I'd say that as a result I've learned some HTML and CSS, which I'm glad about. But I will eventually go off and actually learn HTML and CSS properly, which is what I recommend for anyone who actually wants to basically have free reign on their profile and not rely on other's code. Bye!! :D

have fun, experiment, and go crazy :)

Hiii, I recommen joining a group called "HTML". There is a whole guide for profile customization. Also there is good links to other websites for stuff like gifs and such. Here is some of my fav websites for finding images, gifs and other stuff like blinkies.
