Work has been busy so I thank you all for your patience for my slow replies to mails and additions of new content. I haven't had a chance to pop on and say thank you all for your sweet and supportive mails when Sparkle won Site Spotlight! That was a wonderful surprise :)

New features:
Gallery layouts have been re-added due to popular demand. Old style revamped, and a new style created.
New Pet Lookup style which was also highly requested. Not my favourite style but I like to do what is most requested :D

Ahhh *breathes deeply* this layout is much better and much more Sparkle-esque :). I really took my time to make this just right because I'd like for it to be long-term. Along with this new Sparkle layout comes some new content, tutorials and features. Explore using the links above to check it all out.

Re: editorial - TNT has stated that you must display the "Petname the Pet Colour Species" at the top of your pet's lookup. Most of my pet lookups do not hide this, but I have altered the ones that did. Please grab a new code or remove # from the display:none value if you are coding savvy. Thank you to everyone who alerted me to this!

New features:
New layout
Check out the new Tutorials page for some frequently requested how-tos
New user and pet lookup styles added, and also fixed incorrectly performing ones, and added some new styles to existing ones
Fixed the 1 pet lookup featured here which hides the "Pet Name the Colour Species" which must be shown
Split the Sparkle Spotlight to be featured on each page (Pet and User)
Re-added my mini tutorials: they are now featured again on the page of the type of lookup you're after
Updated the Sparkle Spotlight

Updates cleared at the beginning of every month.

Rules

Don't claim you made it.
Please leave visible credit somewhere, even/especially if you alter the coding. No credit implies that you made it.

Don't redistribute.
Even if you credit Sparkle please don't use my coding to make your own premades for your own site. (Making things for friends is totally fine!)

Custom stuff = off limits.
Good rule of thumb: If you have to view the source of anything I've made, chances are good that it's not intended for your use. Please use the codes that are up here for free use and let myself and pets have our own unique lookups (half the time I end up putting variations up here anyway!)

Enjoy and explore!
Everything you find posted here is for you to use, pull apart, and learn from. The best way to learn coding is to dig in and get your hands dirty. Have fun creating!

FAQ

Q Can I edit your codes?
A Absolutely! Just leave credit please.

Q How do I copy the entire code from the box?
A Click inside the box you want. Hit Ctrl + A, then Ctrl + C. Now the entire code is copied.

Q Will you make me a custom _________?
A I'm sorry, but I sadly do not have the time. But please feel free to mail me with suggestions for themes or styles that other people may like to use as well, and you might just see it pop up!

Q What programs do you use to make layouts?
A For my graphics I use Adobe Photoshop CS4, and to code I use Editpad.
