Welcome to the first Player Focus! From time to time, I'm going to find players that are willing to take part in a very simple interview. Don't get too upset now, that you weren't the first player - this is really a test run to see how it works out in its environment. If you're interested in being part of my Player Focus, please send me a PM on the forums or view my contact information to find other ways to talk to me. These interviews are based on what you, the player, would like to see from companies that publish your favourite MMOs and what you'd want to happen in the future of MMO. Don't be shy, I'm planning on running about two of these per week if I get enough participants! Today's highlighted player is: Vass, from Canada. I've personally known Vass from various games; considering he's one of the few people who tag-along when I'm in IRC talking about some game that I'm hooked on. He's played an array of different games out of boredom but is currently focused around NtreevUSA's Grand Chase. This interview was a trial one; so lets just see how it rolls and get accustomed to some of my questions I'll be asking. Splices: What are the MMOGs that you're playing cur

Back again, I'm here to address some more Tips and Tricks that help you make your blog entries or comments look more impressive and eye-catching. In this particular article, I'm going to elaborate on borders (which was the ending of the last Tips and Tricks); as well as explain how to align your images so that text can 'wrap' around it. Before we get too heavily into the tricks, keep in mind that you're allowed to use any of this as coding is 'free range' (meaning you cannot copyright, trademark, or license any coding/scripting done). If you're having troubles, you can always leave comments and I'll try to assist you in any way possible. If you want to learn more, I'll throw up some links in the next few articles (or in this one) to give you a few directions to learn more on your own.

Borders (Colours and Thickness)

Realistically speaking, I'm not going to go into too much depth as to how to control your borders. There are better resources. But some of the mandatory features that I'm going to address are: Colouring your Borders and Deciding How 'Thick' it is. By thickness, I speak of the thickness of the line that is the border. Thickness can be quite interesting becau

For this article, I'm going to keep it to a very basic layout so that there's no clashing code. Sorry for those who anticipate nice looking articles - but the series of articles I'm going to be doing will help you do the same thing as the few of us who uses any type of code in our comments or our blog articles. I'm going to show you some very basic things today as to how to actually change your font, font background, and some boarders. Boarders are a bit more complicated, depending on how elaborate you want to get with them - but giving you the basics should at least help you learn how to modify the code to suit your own needs.

Changing your Font Colour

This is the easiest thing one can do to show a little creativity or add spunk to their comment. On your blog though, you can use the WYSIWYG (W.hat Y.ou S.ee I.s W.hat Y.ou G.et) editor (it makes things easier altogether). However, for the time being, you cannot do this with your comments - unless you use 'code' (or scripting, as I see it). So here's the most basic of way to change your font colour/s:

<FONT COLOR="purple">What you want to say here</span>

And it'll change your font colour to purple, pretty
