Did I go too far in writing this?

Is there anything I missed?

Should I archive it?

Should I include links to guides I think are really well done? (as examples?)

Was the "Bad Karthus Guide" bad enough?

Is the "Good Karthus Guide" bad? D:

It's okay Lugi, she included it in her guide, along with the names of contributors.
Though I agree with Wrath, this really looks like advertising at the moment. Ask something more specific in your OP.
Thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the sig!

I tried to implement this into my Garen guide. What are your thoughts?

BTW: I miss to change the text size a bit.

@NicknameMy: Coding and colour is great, but you have to use it in moderation otherwise it looks over-done.

For examples of well coded guides, have a look at Tinolas' Xin Zhao Guide and (I swear this isn't self advertising ^^) my own Ashe Guide. Both guides use a lot of colour and coding, but it is not haphazard and all over the place.

We use colour sparingly, not for full paragraphs.

Also centred text is your friend.

Well, i coloured all, but make the most important parts in a part is different coloured. So my guide shouldn't be boring to read.

@Lugignaf: I meant, "Centred headings and centred text inside columns". Not the whole entire guide.
