Character Page

After posting my site map yesterday, I had requests for the code used on our character page. It's nothing overly complex, but I've been told the Harry Potter people have a great use for it, so here it comes. I designed it for the game where group rankings are important, and I wanted to be able to explain the rankings as well as identify who was in them. I've included two versions, the second feels a little less boxy, but please please please look over the color tutorial before going too crazy with the colors on this one, it's far too easy to hurt the eyes. I also strongly suggest making a navigation strip tied to cut tags at the top of the page if you have more than three of these on a page, they can stretch out a page quickly. Feel free to alter, edit and use at will, I'm sure you all can come up with something more interesting than I made.

Again, no need to credit, but if you do feel the need just credit

rp_tutorials, do leave a comment though, I'd love to see how it's used. :)

Group Name				Leader
Place your group/team/class/clan/whatever description there. This is an easy way to define what this group/section does and who is involved in it. It's great for reducing page numbers, as you do not need another page to explain which team/group/class does what. The "Leader" section is the place to show who leads the team, teaches the class, heads the group, or even show off a graphic of their logo/emblem/crest to help give a more clear identity. The icons are clickable links, just replace the ATBL icon with the character icon and drop in the link to their journal/profile				Character Name Play By
