Right now on Pokezam the key things that need updating are the Episode Summaries and Pictures, the Character Bios, and the Platinum game content. We need help with of all of these right now, however here I will focus on Character bios.

Updated Layout
Earlier today, I updated the layout of Character Biography pages. Right now, you will only be able to see the layout on Ash's page, which you can view here (http://www.pokezam.com/anime/characters/main/ash.php). This layout is better organized and simply looks fairly clean. This change will go in effect to all pages once the necessary information has been gathered.

Help Updating the Layout
We currently need help compiling these pages. Right now, Neo Pikachu has already volunteered to help. Anyone else wishing to volunteer can provide the content by posting it here or PMing me. In order to provide this content, you will need to use one of these methods to make it easiest for us:

Layout 1: Raw HTML

<h1 style="text-align: center;">{usname}</h1>
<table class="index" border="1">
<tr><td class="hrow">Episode Pictures</td></tr>
<tr><td class="row" align="center">{pic1}</td></tr>
<tr><td class="row1" align="center">{pic2}</td></tr>
<tr><td class="row" align="center">{pic3}</td></tr>
</table><br />
<table class="index" border="1">

<td valign="middle" class="row1"><b><u>{name} Badge</u></b><br />Gym Location: {city}<br />Gym Leader: <b><a href="/anime/characters/main/{leader}.php">{leader}</a></b><br />Given in episode: <b><a href="/anime/episodes/{epseries}/{ep#}.php">{epname}</a></b></td>

</table><br />

<table border="1" class="index">

</table><br />

<table border="1" class="index">
<tr><td class="hrow" colspan="2">Pokemon Not Currently On-Hand:</td></tr>
<!-- Do the same as above here. -->
</table><br />

<table border="1" class="index">
<tr><td class="hrow" colspan="2">Pokemon No Longer Owned</td></tr>
<!-- Do the same as above here. -->
</table><br />


Other Layouts
A simpler method is simply adding all the information to a word processed document. The information can be found in the above link (http://www.pokezam.com/anime/characters/main/ash.php). You may do this as you like.

Woah, I read Ash's bio and it says that his estimated age is about 20. That's too high. ;P

He should be either fourteen or fifteen.

I'll try to help out with this by the way.
