ooc / what format did you use for your carrd? I am learning to use it and it’s not only nice to look at but tells you all you need to know. So what’s the format, if I may politely ask? If the question is permitted of course.

//Hey friend, no trouble at all! Unfortunately though I don’t know how helpful I can be because my carrd was actually made entirely from scratch without a template, so I don't have any formatting codes I can give you because the whole thing is custom. I so appreciate that you like the design though! Honestly, it's just the result of me dicking around for hours trying to find the right look.

As far as layouts go, the carrd for this blog is pretty simple with just a plain page container and then formatted text against it (if you want to see a hella formatted carrd, you can check out the one I made from scratch for my Klaus blog here: https://theseancekid.carrd.co/)

The images you see (the books on the homepage and the polaroid on the about page) were also made by me, so I guess the one piece of advice that I do have is: if you want to include graphics, make sure you have them all made beforehand so it's easier to throw them in and play around with the placement, rather than leaving space for a graphic, then making a graphic, then finding out it doesn't fit, or looks weird. For me, it's easier to build the carrd around the graphics rather than the graphics around the carrd!

For my pages with lots of text, I broke them down via a two-column container, with one block of text on each column side.

And then...yeah, all the text coloring, formatting, etc. is done in the actual textbox, with markdown coding (don't worry if you don't know coding— they have a super handy cheat sheet at the bottom of the window!)

I'm so sorry if this isn't helpful. I really just kinda...messed around until I found a look that I liked, but if you have any other specific questions about how things are set up, let me know and I'm happy to talk it out!
