Sorry if I'm posting to the wrong board, not exactly sure where this would go.
I always see houses and such in which the shop sign has cool colors (some being cooler than others). My issue is 1)How do I do this?What is the syntax, what procedures need to be followed, etc.? 2)also, what other formatting options do I have for this (i. e. hard returns, any type of alignment, etc.)
Are there any websites that contain this information, or other forum posts perhaps. Any help would be appreciated

The way to setup your colored shop sign is fairly simple.
Basic format is:
\#HexColorCode\Text
The parts in red must be there, the parts in green are your choice.
To get the HexColorCode for your shop sign, you can use your favorite HTML editor, make the color you want, then check the source. You'll probably see a <FONT> tag in there with the color information. Also, you could use a website such as ColorPicker II or Visibone Webmaster's Color Lab to help you find the color code.
Finally, to do multi-line signs, use your notepad (type /notepad in game). Make your sign all pretty there, then copy and paste it into the sign name box. You'll need to go to Options (ctrl-o) > Interface > Keymap > Chat and bind keys to "Chat Edit Copy" and "Chat Edit Paste" to do that.
Hope this helps!

Actually you don't need the second backslash
