This page contains information on using various widgets, templates, tags, etc that have been added to help you spice up your user pages.

== User Infobox ==

The [[Template:Infobox_userpage|user infobox]] is a template that allows you to neatly display a picture, and some miscellaneous information about yourself (e.g. what channels you frequent, your name, age, etc) on your user page.

Complete instructions on how to use it can be found [[Template:Infobox_userpage|here]]

Example:
<toggledisplay showtext="Show Example" hidetext="Hide Example">
{{Infobox_userpage
| image = Its secretagent.jpg|center
| account = SecretAgent
| real_name = Jason Hill
| age = Growing older by the day ;)
| located_in = California, United States
| common_nick = SecretAgent, jason
| common_chan = #DareNET, #Support
| website_url = [http://www.darenet.org/ www.darenet.org]
}}
</toggledisplay>

== User Badges ==

A few user badges have been created (with more on the way) that allow you further express just how cool you really are :-P. They are added to your user page by way of template. A complete list of these badges can be found [[:Category:Templates_-_Badges|here]].

Example:
<toggledisplay showtext="Show Example" hidetext="Hide Example">
<nowiki>{{User Experiment}}</nowiki> would add the following badge to your user page:

{{User Experiment}}
<br><br>
</toggledisplay>

== Adding Videos ==

Currently we support the embedding of YouTube and GoogleVideos on user pages; however, more are planned in the future.

'''YouTube:'''
<toggledisplay showtext="Show Example" hidetext="Hide Example">
To embed a YouTube video on your user page, you'll need to use the <nowiki><youtube></nowiki> tag,: <nowiki><youtube>video id</youtube></nowiki>

For example, using <nowiki><youtube>3857zrYS6sM</youtube></nowiki> will embed the following YouTube video:

<youtube>3857zrYS6sM</youtube>

The video id is the part shown in bold in the following URL: <nowiki>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=</nowiki>'''3857zrYS6sM'''
</toggledisplay>

'''GoogleVideo:'''
<toggledisplay showtext="Show Example" hidetext="Hide Example">
To embed a GoogleVideo video on your user page, you'll need to use the <nowiki><googlevideo></nowiki> tag,: <nowiki><googlevideo>docid</googlevideo></nowiki>

For example, using <nowiki><googlevideo>-4996028175639202758</googlevideo></nowiki> will embed the following Google video:

<googlevideo>-4996028175639202758</googlevideo>

The docid is the part shown in bold in the following URL: <nowiki>http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=</nowiki>'''-4996028175639202758'''<nowiki>&vt=lf</nowiki>
</toggledisplay>

== Last.fm Widget ==

For those of you who have a Last.fm account, you can display your last.fm radio station on your page by using the <nowiki><lastfmwidget></nowiki> tag.

Example:
<toggledisplay showtext="Show Example" hidetext="Hide Example">
<nowiki><lastfmwidget>user=UserName|color=red</lastfmwidget></nowiki> would output something similiar to:

<lastfmwidget>user=secrtagnt|color=red</lastfmwidget>
</toggledisplay>

== Colorize Text ==

Want to spice up your text? Then try the <nowiki><colorize></nowiki> tag.

Example:
<toggledisplay showtext="Show Example" hidetext="Hide Example">
<nowiki><colorize>This text has been colorized!</colorize></nowiki> would output:

<colorize>This text has been colorized!</colorize>
</toggledisplay>
