===But what does all this mean?===
{{Xion4ever|text=So, you've looked at the first example of coding and the final result. Now what? Just to make sure we understand the coding, let's go over what everything means.}}
 
*'''<nowiki>{{User:Xiggie/TalkTemplate</nowiki>''': The first line is deciding which template you want to use. So far, we have three main template options.
**<nowiki>{{TalkTextTest2</nowiki>: The basic and most simple coding. Although easier to use and see, this template does not allow the user to use images from offsite sources (i.e. Photobucket, Imageshack, etc.).
**<nowiki>{{User:Xiggie/TalkTemplate</nowiki>: Very similar to [[Template:TalkTextTest2]]
**<nowiki>{{User:Xiggie/TalkTemplate2</nowiki>: This [[User:Xiggie/TalkTemplate2|template]] allows users to use images from other offsite sources.
 
Most users will either user <nowiki>{{TalkTextTest2</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{User:Xiggie/TalkTemplate2</nowiki>, depending on the images they want to use.


==Skinny (the usual skinny talkbubble)==
*'''image''': Self-explanatory. The image link would go here. If you're using Photobucket, copy the "direct link" section and paste it here. If you're using an image off the Wiki you would simply list the file's name. In this case, "DaysXaldin.png."
{{Xion4ever|text=This is the usual skinny talkbubble which most users (who use the skinny templates) start out with. The coding is as follows:}}
*'''imagesize''': Determines the size of the image. Keep in mind that the max size for many talk bubble images is 70 or 75px.
*'''color''': Sets the color for the top section of the talk bubble.
*'''color2''': Sets the color for the horizontal stripe in the center of the bubble.
*'''color3''': Sets the color for the lower section of the talk bubble.
*'''top-section''': The "meat-and-potatoes" or "heart" of the coding. The top-section contains information on the user, the timestamp, and any quotes the user wishes to use. A basic outline of what goes here is this: <nowiki>[[User:INSERT YOUR USERNAME HERE]], [[User:INSERT YOUR TALK PAGE LINK HERE]]", quote, timestamp. This section can be modified in many different ways with extra "flashy" features. A guide on these features can be found [[Insert guide here|here]].
*'''textcolor''': Self-explanatory. Determines color of text to be used in the middle section of the talk bubble. What you type here determines what color will be used when you type messages.
*'''border/border2/border3''': It's what you'd expect from their names. Determines color of the borders.
*'''fonttype''': Determines what style of font will be used for the messages/text you type. Most fonts that you'd find in Microsoft Word can be used.
*'''text''': This is what we've been working for! This section will contain the text you type for messages. Nothing is needed in this section except for <nowiki>{{{text}}}</nowiki>. Keep in mind, however, that whatever you label this section as in the beginning of the line you must write the ''exact same'' words in this part: <nowiki>{{{ }}}</nowiki>. We'll see more of this when we expand into emotions.

{{Xion4ever|text=Again, this coding is similar to the coding of the (somewhat) advanced markup talkbubbles, only with extra coding on the "top-section."}}
{{Xion4ever|text=This coding is very similar to the coding of the (somewhat) more advanced markup talk bubbles and the skinny rays. We still use the extra coding in the "top-section" portion, but unlike the skinny rays we only use two color commands. This is shown visually by lacking a three-part construction. Instead of "top-middle-bottom," as with the skinny rays, we have "top-bottom."}}

{{Xion4ever|text=Alright, this is the last type of skinny talkbubbles; its also the one [[User:Randomnessity|Randomnessity]] and I use.

{{Xion4ever|text=The coding for the reverse skinny is (in my opinion) the hardest to follow (ESPECIALLY WITH EMOTIONS -_-), since the coding after "text=" is not the usual <nowiki>{{{text}}}</nowiki> many of us are used to. Theres not much difference between the coding for the skinny reverse and regular skinny talkbubbles, except that the "top-section" and "text=" coding is reversed.}}
{{Xion4ever|text=Notice that I used <nowiki>{{User:Xiggie/TalkTemplate2</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{TalkTextTest2</nowiki>. This means I'm allowed to link images from other websites, in this case, Photobucket. You could use TalkTextTest2 instead if you wanted to use an image we already have on the Wiki. If not, to Xiggie/TalkTemplate2!
 
The coding for the reverse skinny bubbles is normally the hardest to follow since the coding after "text=" is not the usual <nowiki>{{{text}}}</nowiki> many of us are used to...Especially with emotions. -_- There is not much difference between the coding for the skinny reverse and regular skinny talk bubbles, except that the "top-section" and "text=" coding is reversed. These type of talk bubbles only have a "top-bottom" section, with the top section being your actual typed messages/text and the bottom portion reserved for your user information, quotes, and the timestamp.}}
