Rainy season approaches. It is cold and windy, the grass is more muddy and mushes beneath ones paws. Lightning is beginning to strike. Be careful.

hi guys this is more simple than it looks. If you're confused, don't worry, I'll use an example.
I'm not sure how to really post an in depth guide about getting a nice bio, but I can show you where to get them. The rest is just a matter of figuring out colors and where things are.
I, and most people, typically use adoxographyv2.boards.net/
You will need to sign up, and once you have, you can find all the bio templates you need under the Templates board.
You'll typically only want to choose one from the Plot Ads, Applications or Threading subboards under templates.
Before selecting your bio, be sure to look at and respect the wishes of the original maker of the template. Some people don't want it to be edited into something like what we're using them for, and it'd be rude to not respect that.
If it doesn't say anything against doing that, then feel free to use it.
Once you've selected a bio template, copy the coding from the thread you've found it and simply paste it into a new post on the forum under biographies.
Once it's pasted, you can edit the writing in it, as well as the font color and even the borders and stuff if you can figure that out.
Pretty much all templates will come with an image file, a placehold. To find where the placehold is located, search for a link with placehold in it in your biography, this is where that grey placeholder is that you can change. Often you can press command F or ctrl F and then type in placehold, your computer will highlight it for you.
The placeholder tells you what the dimensions of the image you should be replacing it with are. For example, if the place hold is 420x420, the new IMAGE LINK you are placing where it once was should have an image that is 420 by 420 pixels.
If you're ever unsure if you're editing the right thing, you can always post it and see how it looks, and then go back to editing.
I'm gonna do an example now. I am using an application template, as I believe they're most fit for bio usage.

Now I paste the code on the thread into this one.
