it says you can use html on the CS and the wiki, does anyone know of a good guide or site for help with html for this game?

W3 schools is probably the best site/resource for HTML, but if you're new to coding, I'd suggest keeping things very simple.

right click and view source... (on ANY webpage almost) not to copy and steal but to look at and try to understand if you can before you try. Basic tags are like the ones in here but use < and >. So if you use the full editor in the forum just replace the [ and the ] with < and >. It won't work for everything but it will give you a quick feel for html. Look at the view source on Alex's cs (link under sig banner) I use really simple and basic coding so should be easy to follow.

This site seems like a good starting point, as it lets you create a very basic HTML page without knowing code, and then you can look at the code to see what it did afterwards. You can then get more advanced with it as you see fit. :)

This! They have a real easy to follow instructional thing and a bunch of easy to use resource stuff.

This is a great way to learn too! I went through tons of CS's & picked out the ones I liked, then copied the source into notepads. After that I started experimenting & figured out what each line of code translated into on the CS's, which then made it not so scary. By doing this I was able to figure out how to make stuff look the way I wanted it to. If you save your text document with .html then open it in a browser you can see immediately any changes after edits. (just refresh).

Oh, fyi? Once you are happy with your cs? Copy paste the whole thing into word or something like gdrive to save. I'm not the only one that has accidentally deleted my own cs... >.<

(multiple tabs can be a biatch if you're not careful :|)
