'''Userboxes''' are a visually catchy means for telling visitors and other editors about yourself in your user page.  You can use them to show that you're a county chair, that you ran for office, or that you like orange and mauve stripes.

Please note that userboxes do not belong in the article namespace.  There are other templates for use there.

==How to Create a New Userbox==
<!-- THIS IS OBSOLETE!
Given that this Wiki is using a much earlier version of MediaWiki than Wikipedia, Wikipedia userboxes will tend to messily disentegrate when tried here.  One working solution is to create a pure html box.

   &lt;!-- pure html userbox, take 1.1 --&gt;
   &lt;table cellspacing=0 width=238 style="max-width: 238px; width: 238px; 
    background: white; padding: 0pt; border: 1px #0F00BF solid"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
   &lt;td style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: #0F00BF; 
    text-align: center; color: white;">&lt;big&gt;
   '<b></b>'<b></b>'LNC'<b></b>'<b></b>'
   &lt;/big&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="padding: 4pt; white-space: normal; line-height: 1.25em; 
    border: 1px #AF0F00 solid; width: 193px;"&gt;&lt;small&gt;
   This user serves on the '<b></b>'<b></b>'Libertarian National Committee'<b></b>'<b></b>'
   &lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
-->
A userbox is essentially a template to specific tolerances.  For example:

<SMALL><TT>'''&lt;DIV style="float:left;border:solid #0F00BF 1px;margin:1px;"&gt;'''<BR/>
'''{<B></B>| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px;background:#EFEFEF;height:45px;"'''<BR/>
'''| style="width:43px;height:43px;background:#0F00BF;text-align:center;font-size:20pt;color:#FFFFFF" | [<B></B>[Image:Libertarianpartylogofixed.png|43px]<B></B>]'''<BR/>
'''| &lt;FONT style="font-size:8pt;padding:4pt;line-height:1.25em;"&gt;This user serves on the '<B></B>'<B></B>'Libertarian National Committee'<B></B>'<B></B>'&lt;/FONT&gt;'''<BR/>
'''|<B></B>}&lt;/DIV>&lt;BR clear="all"/&gt;'''<BR/>
'''&lt;noinclude&gt;'''<BR/>
'''[<B></B>[Category:Userboxes]<B></B>]'''<BR/>
'''&lt;/noinclude&gt;'''</TT></SMALL>

produces:

<DIV style="float:left;border:solid #0F00BF 1px;margin:1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px;background:#EFEFEF;height:45px;"
| style="width:43px;height:43px;background:#0F00BF;text-align:center;font-size:20pt;color:#FFFFFF" | [[Image:Libertarianpartylogofixed.png|43px]]
|
<FONT style="font-size:8pt;padding:4pt;line-height:1.25em;">
This user serves on the '''Libertarian National Committee'''</FONT>
|}</DIV><BR clear="all"/>
