I thought it'd be cool to make Sylar's infobox really dark, or black. Unfortunately, the blue links on the box look like crap against the black. However, [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Portal:Main Memory Alpha's] dark background, for instance, looks terrific with the blue links. I tried copying similar colors, but to no avail - still a big pile of poop. Can some kind soul either help me out or give me some insight? Much obliged! - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 19:29, 11 January 2007 (EST) |

:* Ha! I got it. The "trick" is to use the FONT tag around text after the pipe in the wiki link.

Colors and Links
I thought it'd be cool to make Sylar's infobox really dark, or black. Unfortunately, the blue links on the box look like crap against the black. However, Memory Alpha's dark background, for instance, looks terrific with the blue links. I tried copying similar colors, but to no avail - still a big pile of poop. Can some kind soul either help me out or give me some insight? Much obliged! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:29, 11 January 2007 (EST)

Link Color Choice
- It is generally bad HTML markup style to have the link color be the same as the surrounding non-link text, as it makes it unneccessarilly difficult to know what is a reference and what is not. Are you sure you don't want to slightly grey the text so the white links show out better? --Orne 17:14, 12 January 2007 (EST)
This is a link, while the rest is not. - Oh, good, I'm glad you said that. I originally had it yellow, and it looked okay, but it was ... well, yellow. Plus, the episode link was white, so I figured I'd go for consistecy. I'll work on the color now.
Thanks for all your help. One more - can you give me a crash course on how to use <div> - I'm still pretty clueless. Thanks, Orne! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:29, 12 January 2007 (EST)
