  • The purpose of this user box is to allow Wookieepedians to quickly and easily access each others' blogs on StarWars.com. The external link in the userbox named "blog", which now links to StarWars.com's general blog section, is intended to be the url of the individual blog. The user box is presently brown and beige to emulate the color patterns of the star Wars blogs. See it "at work" here. KEJ 18:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't care for the image. It's out of sync with the standard 40px width of most userbox images. However, I support the idea. So I'll throw my vote in, but I recommend a better pic. Maclimes Zero (talk) Infinite Empire 18:15, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Hmmm..... I don't know. I was afraid it would mess things up, not having a square format, but I think it actually looks pretty good after all. Besides, I don't think we can find a more relevant image than this. KEJ 09:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Link to actual blog

  • Should this template be revised to allow one to input the URL of their blog into the template, so the link goes to the person's blog instead of the main blog page? jSarek 10:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Well, that was the idea. KEJ 11:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Alright, I have modified the template to accept your StarWars.com username. For instance, {{user blog|jSarek}} will generate this:
Blogz This user had a blog on StarWars.com.
