Description
PE: Presentation mattersPresentation mattersIt's not just the artwork that tells you something about it's creator - on the internet, the way you present it is at least equally as important. Your painting can be a masterpiece, hanged in a local gallery, but as long as you post a blurry, badly cropped picture named "1564873" along with "..." in an artist's description, nobody will ever bother visiting your gallery. Creating a nice, representative profile page and setting a certain visual quality standard takes extra time and effort, but if you really care for your work (even if it's just a hobby), you should treat it with some respect.
I've already written a related article called The power of context that tried to explain how to place your work in a context in order to better connect with your audience, this one is focused FEATURED by jane-beata in

Embedding videos on your profile
If you are still uncertain about the steps, scroll down to the author description below to see the link of the video tutorial on how to embed the music/video player on your profile.
Video embedding.
TL;DR: Instructions simplified
Edit: You no longer have to be a Beta Tester in order to use the above code, nor a premium member. Anyone can embed a video onto their profile.
Use this code for custom boxes. You can change the width and height yourself: (You need to be a premium member to use custom boxes.)
Use this code for journals:
You can substitute "youtube" with "film" or "vimeo" in order to embed dA films or vimeo videos. Simply find the video ID for the video you want that corresponds.

For including images in custom boxes, I encountered a small problem.... -> Here
THIS (I followed) --> fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/201… "/>
I followed the code you gave for images, and the result was a large blank space... (the link above)
Any tips on how I can fix it?

A little question, I want one thing to be in a white box, and another to just be in the open, if that makes sense, how would I do that?

after "body text here" the box will end
It would (since I'm coding my custom box on an iPad lol) but you would have to type everything out (well most but still)
