At this point I noticed a major problem… I’m horrible at graphics, and have no sense of what looks good and what doesn’t. As a result, I decided to assume that everyone will hate those three signatures, and created a slightly different type of signature. For this one, you can choose the colors yourself! Here’s the format:

… where {BACKGROUND} and {TEXT} are hex codes for the colors you want to use (BG is the backdrop and text is all the text and the border). What? You say you haven’t memorized the hex codes for every color in the rainbow? Well that’s not a problem… head over to http://www.colorpicker.com/ and go crazy! Remember, however, not to include the # in the url. Now that I have sufficiently confused you, let me show you some examples:

(Yes, I did make this one ugly on purpose…)

Hmm… maybe that didn’t solve my graphical problems after all. Maybe you guys will be able to come up with something nicer looking – make sure to leave a comment if you do! If any of you want to take a shot at designing some signatures from scratch, I’ll gladly take any help I can get, and I’ll code them up right away for everyone to use. If you are wanting to make a design, do whatever you want but try to make them 350px wide if possible, and leave room for the “Recent Posts” and “Statistics” (those two things should be in the same layout as you see in all the above sigs).

The premade signatures will update whenever anyone comments or a new post is made, so they should always be up to date. The custom colored sigs are actually regenerated every time they are loaded, so they may take a wee bit longer to load (not more than a second though… probably milliseconds).

I hope these see some use, and like I said, this post is about sharing so make sure you use these sigs wherever you can to help The RuneScape Blog keep growing! Again, any submissions or suggestions for new designs are welcome! I may get around to making some under-sigs in the next few days

To kick things off I will introduce myself, my parter and the communities that make this blog happen :).

Firstly you can call me 11. I’m a Runescape player and I have been since 2002. I enjoy many of the aspects of the game and i find that the most pleasurable part is definitely partaking in player vs player battles. If you want to know more about me, then ask!

Secondly, I would like to introduce my partner, Soul, he is a coding genius and very competent on the internet hehe. His servers will be hosting The RuneScape Blog and he will also be taking care of the site.

Thirdly, I would like to acknowledge the two online communities that have given Soul and I this chance to fund and publish this blog:

• RuneSociety
• RuneCrypt

Both of these wonderful communities have contributed time and effort into getting this blog up and running!

Now I bet you’re wondering what this blog is going to focus on… well listen up!

The Runescape Blog is going to focus on everything Runescape! (der. I hear you say) Well it’s more interesting than that… we strive to provide you with ideas and opinions that are original and interesting to read and we hope that you enjoy reading them as much as we enjoy writing them.

Before I finish i would like to say that if you have any queries, ideas, or just want to chat then you can drop us an email at: rsblog@runesociety.com

So in conclusion I would like to say: Get ready for a big 2008, RuneScape Blogging has never looked this good
