Yay banners! Maybe center them though. Just a very minor suggestion. Or make them 700 pixels wide (that's what I used and fits the page perfectly).

@jk leet

This is how I play and I play passive in lane, just to farm farm and farm, and an early first blood isn't what I look for on Riven, cause Riven becomes truely strong at level 6.

The runes are your own choice, and I think both are viable, but I prefer a bit armpen. at the start, cause the real armpen. will come later in the game.

Last Whisper and Youmuu's Ghostblade are both nice items and personally I prefer Last Whisper too. But I love to have a The Brutalizer at early game.

It's not good to start with Boots and 3 Health Potion because you miss lot of damage which is good in start for first blood and solo. Doran's Blade Is a good item because it gives the extra boost you need to stay longer in lane. Then you say doesn't that make me slow? Well thats why you use Broken Wings (Q) and Valor (E) . Then i saw your runes you use Greater Mark of Desolation use Greater Mark of Attack Damage instead and buy Last Whisper in game. everything else seems good. This is just a tip do exactly what you want! :-)

@Piper11

First, thx for the comment.
I'll try to explain some things and maybe you're right in some cases.

About the 9 flat AD, if you take the ArmPen. runes, you will be able to do more damage on that tanky champs and also on minions. I prefer to play against Teemo cause he is not very tanky and without items not very strong.

I know it isn't complete and I told already I'm still updating.

About the combo I don't know what you mean. I prefer flash for come in range for my Wind Slash or to escape a gank. Ignite is really nice with your ult as a finisher.

Again I'm not truely sure about Vampiric Scepter over B. F. Sword cause your shield becomes way stronger with B. F. Sword, but if you don't have the gold I really recommend taking Vamperic Scepter.

At this poit you're kinda right Youmuu's Ghostblade isn't the best item for Riven. But The Brutalizer is. And you will almost never get so far you can finish Youmuu's Ghostblade. But if you come to there I recommend Last Whisper.

BTW again thx for the reply.

You might want to consider getting 9 flat AD Marks instead of the Armor Penetration. In some cases, you will get a top lane where you might not be able to harass as well as you would like to, ie) Teemo, in which case you won't really get to make use of the armor penetration. Getting the flat ad juices all of your early game abilities, and also makes last hitting under tower a breeeze.

You could have included a match ups section as well, just a general one about how to deal with different top lanes.

You should also really talk about how you can combine Ignite and Flash in order to run a kill lane in top because how you use them will really depend on if you get the kill or not.

I'd also recommend running vamperic scepter before you get the BF. This grants you better lane sustain, and it still builds into Bloodthirster.

As for the ghost blade... I'm not sure why this is so popular for Riven players. I started with this item, but found it to be a little useless considering that:
1) The CD you get really doesn't make too much of a difference.
2) The active isn't that great on riven because she has to stagger her auto attacks, not roll them out in quick succession like Master Yi or Tryndamere. I think Last Whisper is hands down a better item to have because it cuts into that armor hard. But I would only get it if three or more people had more than 100 armor on the enemy team... If the enemy team isn't stacking armor, then go for your AD and resistances. I will guarantee you a sustain AD Riven will have a much stronger transition into the late game than an armor pen Riven will.
