Ok. So--I've recently gotten better at graphics, so I want to get into Journal/Shop/pet profiles. But I have no idea how to code them. D8

So I was wondering if there was anyone out there willing to show me the ropes or something? I can code user profiles fairly well, and I know how to do things like divs and such, but I'm not sure at all how to even slightly go about coding the rest of everything. So here's a few specific questions:

Shop

Is this just like a user profile? I mean... I'm not all that sure. :x Like.. just regular custom CSS or something? Where do I start?

Pet Profiles

I know how to do divs and such, but I was wondering if you could do pet hovers like you can user hovers. Also, what are the different places called--like the treasure and friends and stats, etc so that you're able to move them all around seperately?

I'm sorry for the bother--really. ;^; I'm just so... lost. :x

You can code them with regular CSS as long as you can add code between style tags. Hovers should be possible though I haven't tried yet. And the names of the sections can be found by looking at the source code (ctrl+u) of the page.

Your best bet will to be to look at the source coding and figure out what you want to change by yourself. Then you should also look at other people's coding to see what they did and how you can change things or if you missed something. Check the stylesheets as well.

There's a Firefox add-on called Firebug that's really useful for looking at source code. When it's open, you click "Inspect" and it will show you the HTML and CSS coding for any elements you hover over with your mouse. :)

Okay, so the sections are named really super easy- nothing complex here:

.pet_lookup (this is your main block, it controls where everything else is positioned, so position it where you want it FIRST. I'm pretty sure that Stats and the little line that says who owns the pet and the gender are attached to this, and aren't seperate?) .pet (this is the pet image, obviously) .pet_minion (minion positioning) .treasure_chest (treasure chest- note, this cannot be made to scroll. not sure why, but its pesky like that.) .friends_header (this is the friends section)

As for hovers, i use hover links in pet profiles all the time, so its obviously possible. haha. As for those amazing hover sections that people do on regular profiles, i can't say- i honestly have no clue how to do profiles, let alone make them have fancy shmancy hover sections, so yeah.
