User blog:Splashcloud/Coding Questions

I have a few coding questions that I am wondering if people could answer. I've looked for tutorials, but all the ones I find usually only have things like changing the colour and font. I also rather not try and use other people's coding that already has these things. Mainly because if I do that, I don't actually figure out how to use the coding. I If anyone does know of any tutorials, I'd love be given a link.

First of all, how do you code gradients?

Secondly, I have noticed when I go onto some people's user pages, it says something along the lines of "Welcome Splashcloud!" Due to the fact there is no way they would know I would be the next person to look at their user page, I'm wondering what code you use to do that.

Next, if you look at my user page, I tried to box the entire list of stuff I wrote, but instead it decided to box every line. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix that.

Lastly, instead of having square boxes around a signature, I've seen it where it's oval shaped instead, I'm also wondering if someone knows how to code that too.

Thanks.
