Experimenting with source code

This is just an experiment to see if I know how to do that inverted binky thing next to someone's user name (though no doubt there are easier ways to do it than the one I am using):
byebyepride
dubdobdee
freakytigger
skyecaptain
Except what I did was ridiculously complicated - went into the source code when Tom cited Alex T and copied the ridiculous amount of code onto my clipboard and then pasted in here, typing in other names (4x each) in place of "byebyepride." And then I had to get rid of some code that it didn't make sense to get rid of (a close-a, a close-b, then another close-a). There must be some easier way. Will someone email me and tell me what it is?
