Introduction Text-Box, Member Bio & Social Media Links

[Popedia]

Hi. I was wondering if it would be possible to create these three requests:

#1 - Introduction Text-Box on Homepage



Ideally, I would like to have a text-box on my homepage similar to the text-box in the picture above. My forum receives a lot of traffic, however very few people actually register for an account. If I had an "introduction" text-box on the top of my homepage (describing what the forum is about), I believe it may encourage a few more people to join. Is there a way in which I could create a text-box, like the one in the picture above?

#2  Member Biographies



Is it possible to have a "text-box" above the member statistics (where the orange rectangle is), which could act as a biography? Ideally, it would be good if each member could type up their own biography (describing a bit about themselves). 

#3 Images for the Social Network Links

Referring to the image above, instead of simply displaying the text links to the social media websites, would it be possible to have the links represented by the logos of each site?

Do you also want the picture in the box or not?

[Former Member]

Yeah! This'll take a while so either Boy_Wonder could do it or you could wait a little longer!

If possible, it would be good to have a picture in the box. However, if it's too much of a hassle to incorporate into it, it doesn't matter.

Thanks for offering to do it @tinselledloki. 

 It doesn't worry me how long it will take to make them. As for who could make it, I know that you may be busy and have other things to do, so what ever best suites you and @tinselledloki.

Actually pictures are extremly easy to put in so just pick one for it!  
Also what do you want the box's text color and background color to be? Any bold or italics I should add in? Which font size and family?

I think this image would be one that I would like to use.

A blue background colour (preferably close to #0680ff, if possible) with white text colour would look good. The only part I would like bold would be the opening, introduction line (e.g like the "Soap news, discussion and spoilers" in the image in my original post) of the text box. 

As for the font size and family, I would like all of the font to be in Aerial font please. Preferably, I would like the "bold" text font size to be 11px and the rest of the font size to be 10pt.

Thanks.

Do you want me to handle the custom profile stuff and you handle the intro box, split the workload a bit? (I figure if I'm doing one thing on the profile I'd may as well do all but if you want to do more I'm happy either way

I would like the opening, introduction line (the one in bold) to be, "News, discussion and much more!"

As for the rest of the text, I would like it to say:

"Popedia is a forum based on discussing the media, pop culture, current events and everything in between. When registered, you can access additional features on the forum and become a part of this friendly, fast-growing community!

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to make the "introduction text-box" visible only for people who are viewing the forum as a "guest"? For instance, if someone were to visit my forum as a guest, the "introduction text-box" would appear. However, if a person is logged in to a registered account, the text-box wouldn't be visible. 

If it's not possible to make the text-box function in that manner, that's ok and it wouldn't be a concern. I was just curious to know if it was possible or not.

Thanks.
