Dual questions:

1. I recently created my own sandbox on Wookieepedia. On a box at the top of it, I wanted my avatar to appear, much like on this user's sandbox. However, he apparently is using an image already in the wiki's gallery as his avatar, so he just links that image in the box. My avatar of course is not in the wiki gallery. I want my avatar to appear in my sandbox in the second box where it now says "40px" ([[image:my_avater.png|40px|link=user:Johnam|left]]) . How/can I do that?

2. I just decided to add my profile on this wiki. I'm putting an infobox with my name and so-on and so-forth. I don't want the default purplish colors on the box. I want to use #7691b5 and #bfc9d6 instead. How do I do that here on Community Central?

Thanks. :-)

That file can be found here - check out the imagebox. That wiki apparently doesn't have a policy against it, so just upload your avatar to the wiki and use it.
The "User infobox" template on that wiki has customizable colors. On your user page, replace the hex values in the c1 and c2 parameters with whatever color you want for the headers, and c3 for the background. You can pick out your ideal values here.

Thanks! Although on the second question, I wasn't talking about Wookieepedia, I know how to do that there. I was talking about here, on Community Central. :-)
