Text Glow

This is a really cool effect. It is not hard to make it, either. It is used in buttons and the navigation bar.
If you are not very familiar  with programming (even CSS, which is quite simple), the syntax is easy to understand... once you get it!
text-shadow: [move right] [move down] [blur radius] [colour];
You can add more 

text-shadow:
0 0 1px #ff0,
0 -1px 4px #ff0,
0 -3px 7px #f00,
0 -6px 9px #f00;

"On the scale of 1-10, the chance of this being fire is... 0"
"Close enough!"

Pros

1. Cool effect
2. Pretty much simple, but... effective?

Cons

1. Quite complicated for people not good at programming or just too young
2. A little hard to remember at first
3. Abuse leads to bad looks... just like with some drugs

Buttons

It is always nice to have buttons on your site. ☺(smiley face because it is cool)
Specifically on this site, a button is a <div> tag with a link inside it. The link can be with 1 of the 6 "border images" with different colours (1 for each section). Which one the link uses depends on its ID. The ID can be: blue, grey, yellow, orange, violet, green (no ID = no border). They used to be for each section (Main, ArchPro, Resources, Entertainment...) until they got terminated. The background of the <div> is the "body" of the button. It changes when one hovers over the button.
Buttons also have "descriptions". They are the text below the button.

EXAMPLE button

OK, this button really doesn't do anything.

I like cake

Yay, a 3rd description *smiley face*

And a paragraph inside the description

And another one

Pros

1. 6 borders
2. Unlimited description length
3. Unlimited amount of descriptions
4. Descriptions are with full opacity only when the mouse is over them

Cons

1. Rather complicated
2. Limited title length (width: 250px)

Button Groups

As you have seen (we hope) on most of our sections there are little "navigation menus" with buttons. Obviously, they are just groups of buttons. They aren't anything special, but they are still worth being shared (they have rights, too). They are just a <div> with a border.
