Hello, Vendion! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia!

I am very excited about assisting you. We seem to have many interest in common. Why don't you drop me a line at my talk page and tell me a little more about how you would like to contribute to Wikipedia. Also, feel free to ask any questions you may have. I am nocturnal, so do not get discouraged if I don't answer you until the following day. Ursasapien (talk) 05:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

First, let me say you are doing a great job so far. Joining Wikiprojects is always a good way to collaborate, gain consensus, and contribute. Also, starting on an article's talk page with a suggestion and then boldly editing an article is exactly what we are supposed to be doing. By the way, speaking of being bold, I hope you do not mind my boldy adding the box to contain your userboxes. Most HTML should work when editing any page, but it is sometimes overkill and there are shortcuts we can use on Wikipedia. You might look through the quick tutorial and experiment around in the sandbox. Many Wikipedians create their own sandbox to work on articles in their userspace. You can do this by editing the page User:Vendion/Sandbox. In case you haven't got this yet, you can always click on the "watch" tab to add an article and it's talkpage to your watchlist. You can then click on "my watchlist" at the top of the page and conveniently see when changes were made. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I figured that it was you that did that, and thanks for that it looks better now. I have been picking up on some of the basic shortcuts that wikipedia has to offer, and I have played around shortly in a sandbox. vendion (talk) 06:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

BTW, perhaps you could help me. Is there a simple reference I can use to get the hexadecimal number for various web colors? When I am creating userboxes, tables, or anything else, I would prefer to use the hex numbers rather than the word "red". Ursasapien (talk) 06:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have them and the HTML codes in my HTML/XHTML/CSS book, but that is really not any good here but a quick google search gave me this hexadecimal HTML color codes. I hope it helps you. vendion (talk) 06:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes, very helpful. Thank you! Ursasapien (talk) 07:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
