Hi!

First of all, to make it without the name, it would be like
In otherwords, : username icon : [replace username with the person's account name and remove all the spaces]

Lastly, colors uses a bit of similar coding to accomplish.
You start with
[ color= insert the color you want ] Then you place the text you want to be that color here, and when you're done coloring it, you end it with a [ /color ]
Again, remove all spaces inside the [ ]

PS: thanks for the faves!
PPS: This is all actually explained on the '6-year-old "text formatting help" ' page

Thanks for the clarification; it is very much appreciated! Also, once I saw the "experiment" tag, I couldn't help but look around. I always thought Stitch could use a radioactive cousin (or brother, or whatever the other Experiments are to him).
