help with user lookup coding?

[faerifieddee]

so, i have paint shop pro and am reasonably adept at putting things together visually & artistically, but i don't know a thing about coding. i'd like to do something like this:
www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=montecarlomama
i don't want the side bar to be such that the search option is no longer available (as in this lookup), but i'd like to have custom graphic words over the words on the left-hand side bar (is that coherent?)... and i'd like the whole user info box to start up a bit higher... and not with the same colors, graphics & whatnot, but with similar coding... is there anyone here who could help me with that?

well, what i usually do instead of coding everything myself which takes me forever is to go find a userlookup code that I like, though you do have to be careful with that as some sites get pretty temperamental about it all (though dl's pretty understanding about it ) and then change the things by re-arranging it to suit what i want.... you could try going to the guild website and check out the html section which has the guild guardian userlookups there.... i helped code fullbloom's shop blog for our mystery island theme week using one of the guild's shop blogs (I'm more than capable of doing it myself, just don't have the time what with running NF and all )

if you need more info or even some more help with some of the coding issues, let me know, i'll be glad to help!

if u do decide to use a code u like from a site, before sure to put who coded it. or they will get mad. but i however code my own lookups, that way there is no risk of some site yelling at me for altering there lookup code
