Multiply.Design Group

Sep 1, 2004

Multiply offers a great service and many options to control and personalize your page. There are many cool base themes and you can also design your own personal one using CSS or simply modify an existing theme to create a personalized page. This group is dedicated to this: how to design your page to make it look like you want it to be. Want to change the text color? Want to use a different background? Want to have your own custom theme? No problem, you will find the answer here.

This is a place where everyone learns (and everyone helps too), so please follow these guidelines:

- Search before you post: there is a search feature so you can find what you want. Use it before posting questions;

- The Photos and Links sections are reserved for posts related to the group only: Anything not relate to the group scope will be removed;

- If you don't find what you want, you are welcome to post a question in the Notes section. Do not delete it afterwards, as it may be helpful to other members. Please title your question appropriately. "Help" is not a question;

- There is no need to include your CSS code in your posts: If someone knows how to help, s/he will know how to get your code as well if needed. Keep your posts clean and short, making it easier to follow and reply. Including a screenshot and/or the browser and version you use will also very useful;

- Be nice: everybody is here to learn, so respect the other members. Please see the member list on this page to "Meet The Admins".

Join the group and to be able to post your questions and get all the updates and new tutorials in your Inbox!

Welcome and Enjoy!
