Welcome to the BBCode competition. This is a competition where you use BBCode to make the best thingamajig you can.
Basically, you try to make something that looks cool or interesting only out of plain text and code.
Entries will be accepted until December 25th.
From the 25th to the 31st, people will vote on the following three categories:
Coolest.
Most eye catching.
Best message.
On January 1st (or maybe 2nd, depending on how busy I am), the votes will be counted to determine:
The coolest.
The most eye catching.
The one with the best message.
The best overall.
The worst overall.
Here are the rules:
No images in the entries.
Entries cannot be longer than 600 pixels.
Votes are for all three categories. You can vote for a different entry for each category, or just 1 or 2 categories, if you don't want to vote for all 3. You can only vote for one entry per category, and you can't vote for your own entry.

Well, it's the only submission so far, so it would be the winner automatically if no one else enters.
It's not bad for being only BBCode, but the coloration is a little too bright. I would recommend using a background gradient instead of a plain color.
How about this? Does it look better?

A little. You should try learning some css.
Also, you might find it helpful to use color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/. It allows you to pick a color, and it'll find 4 colors that go well with it, depending on what type of color scheme you choose.

How about my sig? I made it only out of BBCode. I've modified it some too (again only in BBCode). How do you like it?

How do you do that? This board won't let me use background images; I think that normal BBCode does, but this one doesn't. Wouldn't you normally do it like this? [background]{URL}[/background] or maybe even this? [background src="{URL}"]

No.

What you want to say.
[/div]
Or, if you want only a color:
[div style="background: red;"]
Stuff
[/div]
Or, if you want a color to default to if the image doesn't work, or if the image is transparent and you want an underlying color:
[div style="background: red url(http://storage.proboards.com/6672327/avatar/vlcebCAOUILhHvtXtwlR.png);"]
Stuff
[/div]
Or, the gradient:
[div style="background: linear-gradient(red, black); color: white;"]
Stuff in a red to black box.
[/div]
[div style="background: radial-gradient(blue, white);"]
Stuff in a blue to white box.
[/div]

I do know some CSS. Just a lot of what I know isn't enabled in BBCode, or maybe that's just this board.
Ah, that's how you do a background gradient. I guess I don't know that much CSS.

I knew I was doing it wrong. It just shows how little I know. The funny thing is, I now remember learning about the background gradients. We didn't cover much on that in my class, though.
What about this? I'm not sure how I like the rounded corners . . . and I'm not sure how much to do it. (I just remembered the border-radius property . . . and then I realized that you used it to show me what a background gradient was.)

Good luck.
I just realized that I sort of have an image in my entry. I just typed "[c t]" (without the space) in the code, but I guess that's an image . . . so maybe I'll have to take that part out.
Never mind I probably won't be able to enter because of holidays and visiting. Although... If you extended it to the 20th I could advertise it around on here... SaveSave
