So you come across a profile that takes forever to load, it is almost impossible to read, and it has more pictures than your local art gallery. This sparks a thought in your head, and you say, "I want a profile like that!" This is your place to find the information you need to overdo your profile.
First of all, you need to ask someone intelligent how to edit your profile since you don't want to learn CSS. So, as it comes about, since your first contact doesn't want to waste his time with you, you start asking different people how to do it. By the time you get a reasonable answer, you could have learned CSS and had time to review it as well.
Next, you decide you want to change the background. Of course, the logical option would be to find a flashing animated GIF. You think this has to flash so your profile will get more views, while you don't even realize that no one will see the flashing until they view it anyway.
Now you've located the perfect background, which I may add doesn't look great as a tiled one, you want to add pictures. You're thinking "I want to add so many pictures that it's like Google Images itself!" So you go to Google Images itself and begin searching. You find images larger than your high quality camera can snap, and add them to your profile promptly. Hmm, you think there should be at LEAST 50 pictures. You are oblivious to the fact that this will freeze up your DSi. Oh, and then you need to find pictures of someone and post them with a caption, "YEH THS IS ME".
It's now time to write an original profile, even though you are copying someone else's. You, of course, add your own touch by typing a paragraph that states you're single about 6 times. This is quite strange, especially since the next paragraph, which is copied, says you are in a relationship.
There's something missing yet... It seems so empty. Oh! Add color and text styles! You find the worst color matches possible and use them for your information backgrounds. "IT LOOKS SO PRITTY!!!111ONE" And you find out it's possible to do flashing text as well. This is definitely a must. Everyone will be envious, you think to yourself. Why not make it matching colors with your background so no one can read it unless they highlight it? SO COOL!
You take a glance at your completed profile and have a look of happiness on your face. Now everyone will flock to your profile and give you some much wanted attention. Oh wait, you aren't even active in the community so that's why you don't get any attention.
