Yes, userboxes are great for making your page look cool. Also, using a background color looks good, too! To do that, just put this at the very top of your page, without the spaces at the beggining: { | id="w" width="100%" style="background: *color you want*; "
 * valign="top" width="50%" style="background: *color you want*; border: 2px solid #000000; padding: .5em 1em; -moz-border-radius: 1em"|
