ShirleyT published: HTML Cheatsheet to create/edit your MyFreeCams profile

html


ShirleyT wrote a useful HTML cheatsheet that explains basic HTML codes you can use to create or edit your profile on MyFreeCams. First things first, in HTML, the code itself goes between <>, anything that's not in that will be text seen on the page. To make bold letters: <b>Example</b>. Note that you put a code between <> and then when you are done with that part, you finish with </>. To change the size, color, font, or alignment of the text, you put like this: <div style='font-size:sizepx; font-family:font name; color:HEX code of color; text-align:center, left, or right'> Example </div>.

Newline: <br>

To put images:
To put a simple image: <img src='image source'>
To put an image with a link: <a href='link'><img src='image source'></a>. Note: you can use <div style='text-align:center;'> </div> to center the image.
To put a link: <a href='link'>text</a>.
To put a separating line: <hr size='size in pixels' color='HEX code' />.

That's pretty much everything I used for my profile. Some tips:
DON'T use images as backgrounds if you don't have the container boxes active. They distract from the text and make your profile look messy. So go for a cool background with containers or a photo aligned to the left and a plain background so that the text is readable, or a plain background.
DO use (very) contrasting colors for the background and text.
DON'T use Comic Sans.

Feel free to ignore the tips since I am in no way a graphic designer or a web designer or a programmer! It's just my opinion on what makes profiles look tidy and readable. This site: www.colorlovers.com is really useful in finding color palettes and the HEX codes for the colors you like. Finally, I'm not good at explaining myself, so if anything is unclear or doesn't work, let me know, and I'll try to help.

ONE LAST VERY IMPORTANT THING: Always write the code in the notepad and then put it in your profile (it can be in any of the text fields like "About Me" and "Five things I can't live without"). I chose 'About Me' because it's the first thing to show in the profile. IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, THE SITE ERASES EVERYTHING YOU DID AND REPLACES IT WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE, SO WRITE IN NOTEPAD AND SAVE FIRST!

If i may , I'd like to add that if you have pictures stored in imageshack you can copy the html code from there and paste too your edit profile .. also a great picture editing site i use to add words and other graphics to an existing photo is picmonkey.com Smiley :) I'll then save any of those pics that I've edited to imageshack and tuh dah ! If you'd like to see examples of what I've done , please feel free to check my profile Smiley :) great topic Smiley :)

I've tried doing what you said Shirley but it isn't working Smiley :( I dont know what to do.
Using "in-code" css can style-up nicely any basic html code. There are a few aspects that requires a little more html-css knowledge but the result can be amazing. I work in this niche for some time now and I must admit, the above article is most then helpful.
@Szandora666
Edit Profile, About Me section (or one of the sections from that page).
@EstherRay
From the above article, copy only the code, the bold text between () must have an value.
something like this:
Some text here

Does anyone make CB profiles? I can't do HTML. I need help.
Thank you for this useful information 😊 I'm gonna have a go at doing this later. Can you use photos from normal folder or do you have to use photo sites like Photobucket? Still finding this a little overwhelming as I've never tried coding at all. Is the tip me offline button classed as a link? Failing this I just have to cam my butt off & pay someone to style my profile lol 😂
@LilithLips all image elements need to be hosted (uploaded) online. And Photobucket is a "no no no" ...
There are so many options you can choose from and most of them are almost free or 100% free.
1. DIY - use any image editor to create the graphics, upload them online and add them in your bio... the markup language to add a single simple image is mentioned above. To group a set of images is a bit more complex but not overwhelming .
2. DIY - learn the basics of HTML/CSS to be able to write your own markup
3. 5$ - use a professional service to help you
4. Pay someone to do the job so you don't have too.

I represent option 3 with 5$ lowest plan service and if we do the math, with premium plan anyone can afford 0.7$ without camming their butt off
Thanks for this tutorial I’m not on my free cams yet but will save this info. I don’t really understand it but you’re awesome for sharing it
