[edit] My Userpage

Hi RyGuy, welcome to Wikipedia! I'm sorry I couldn't reach you earlier; I saw your message but had to leave. Anyways, you said you can't "even" make one of those boxes I have, but, if you look around, you rarely see them. Technically, you can't just do the same as with userboxes, you have to do a lot more. Me, I copied mine from User:Arad (I recommend you read his too in order to have a better idea of what to write in yours.

Once you know what you want to write, you have to do the following:

1. Copy the this onto your page (click edit to view):

I don't know what all of it means, but is to have the font color you selected above engaged.

1. If you want to change the colors, just select one from here.
2. Try to do everything in one edit, otherwise, your page will be a temporal mess. One way to prevent this is to just copy what goes at the top:
   <div ect. and what goes at the bottom: . ect., this will make it not extend down to the bottom of the page.
3. If you need to, you can press "edit" on the section I have my box in to see more detailed (and complicated) "instructions".
4. If you need any more help, just leave me a message on my talk page. | AndonicO 19:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I had to add a box to explain how to make one, I didn't know that was going to happen. You can erase it later when you have yours. To see the "phrases" that make the box happen, click edit, as they can only be viewed in the editor; I separated the phrases from the rest of the text to make them easier to spot. I'll check back in a few days. Good Luck and see you around! | AndonicO 20:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me. I apreciate your help, and I will do my best to help other users as you helped me. RyGuy 20:14, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow!

Wow Ry, that was quick! Isn't that a great improvement? Your page looks much more colorful and attractive now. I'm glad I could help you, it was fun too. By the way, I noticed you had about five external links, and no internal ones, if you need any help with those, just ask (unless I'm wrong, and it's just that you don't have anything to link to). | AndonicO 00:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I put in some internal links a few minutes ago. I guess i'm pretty good at this! RyGuy 12:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Check it out! I put lots of little userboxes in my page. RyGuy 17:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FIRST LITTLE BOX

I just made my first little userbox! Yay! RyGuy 12:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Ryan, I notice you have a message at the top saying you can erase other people's messages, and also that you deleted my welcome message yesterday. That's OK - but I oughta let you know, a lot of people find it quite rude when people erase messages. I don't mind, but some people will. The best thing to do is to archive your page if you feel it's getting too long.

Great to see you're getting handy with Wikimarkup, too!

Cheers, riana_dzasta 13:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the info, but what i meant by it's my job to erase messages is that I will erase VANDALIZING messages. I hope you know what I mean. :-) RyGuy 13:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, of course, I wouldn't blame you! Don't worry, if you don't step on too many toes, you should be fine :) On the other hand, you should be bold, too! Just work out a balance, I guess... riana_dzasta 13:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Motto Nomination

Yes, I noticed that too, great to see you where I least expected it. | AndonicO 16:27, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lego

Yesterday night, I designed a lifting mechanism for my Lego elevator. It's just some Lego: Crazy Creator pieces and string.... and it works! ....now to complete the shaft.... RyGuy 13:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to take a break from wikipedia to do other things, but i'll be back. See you when I get back! RyGuy 10:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Lego Update! Today I completed my shaft's base and lower wall. It's coming out great. RyGuy 13:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] no wiki

Hello RyGuy, I can see your wikibreak is over. I just wanted to tell you that I've found out how to remove the box above, and still be able to see the instructions I gave you. All you have to do, is write <nowiki> before the text that creates the box, and </nowiki> after the same text. You can find them on the "Wiki markup" section underneath "sign your name" when editing. | AndonicO Talk 12:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Good Guess. Ok, thanks for the info. RyGuy 12:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

Just to let everyone know, I'm not much of an editor (anyway, there hardly are any articles that wikipedia doesn't have), so don't expect me to do anything big. RyGuy 13:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
