Profiles

[Eden Silverback]

As I have been spending some time stalking lots of peoples bio's I have noticed that some people have really awesome profiles. I was wondering how they did it. If it did not break site rules could we maybe post these sites somewhere around the bio everywhere for the people like me who need a bit more help making the bio awesome?

One site which offers biography templates is one of our affiliates: "Caution"

Otherwise, it is against board rules to link to other forums (as you know). Though I am sure that you can find all you need on Caution, or otherwise be able to navigate from there to similar sites.

It should be noted that many people on HNZ create their own biography templates, as well.
(I suspect this statement might cause somebody to recommend that we add a forum where templates made by HNZ members can be shared. It's possible, but I'm not a fan of it.)
As to making a forum for help in making a bio awesome - that's similar to the above (though I guess it would be more like graphics requests, where you would post and somebody would make one for you?). I'm not a proponent for it mostly because the content of the biographies is what makes them awesome. I don't think over-stylizing things makes them awesome. Pretty, sure. But is it helpful or necessary? I don't think so.

It's certainly a possibility that an area for premade templates by members of HNZ to be archived for use could be created, but I don't think it's necessary right now or anything.
