I noticed that you had a question posted on my wall about making infoboxes and I would love to lend a helping hand. :) I am logged on Mondays and Wednesdays (you can see my schedule for exact times, time zones and other good stuff). I am signed in exclusively during those times and I have not been editing here recently do to lack of interest (among other reasons), but if you leave a message, I will see it.

Okay. Basically, the why I learned to do wiki coding was a lot of trial and error over the course of several years and I achieved this by looking at every infobox that I could find. There are many different types of infoboxes that vary from wiki to wiki so you have to find one that you like; it may seem simple, but it can be pretty confusing.

If you already like the style of the ones I use, then all you have to do is find colors that you like. For gradient effect, I like using [www.colorhexa.com www.colorhexa.com]; it allows you to search any color by HTML color code (for instance, black is #000000) and it will show you a variety of colors ranging from that color, from light to dark. What I do is search a color and find the darkest color at the right of that spectrum and put it into the Template:Gradient. To use it, all you need to do is put the colors in as such: and this will create a gradient effect with those two colors.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
