It's just an experience thing. I once had to copy + paste a lot of stuff, but now I can start a CSS signature from scratch. It's relatively simple; you just need to know the right codes, like [cd=border: 1px solid #000000;] and stuff like that. Besides, CSS for BBCode is pretty much useless outside of forums that support it, and real CSS is much tougher to grasp. xD;
Just wondering. It looks nice. ;3 Though instead of makeshifting the border for the text, you could just make another CSS-box in that CSS like I did with my main, or reduce the text size using CSS.
Yeah, when watching anime, always refrain from looking up Youtube materials of it, no matter how badly you wanted to. I cried like there was no tomorrow in that episode T_T
