Hey this is my tutorial for those who wishe to set up an LJ (I know most of you reading this already have one, but I need to tell Blair and Jen how and don't have the space for pics in my e-mail, so I'm emailing them a link to this journal...
first, go here: Live Journal!
you will see this page:
click on the word "create". Your browser will take you to this page:
Just know that the Username you pick will be your Live JOurnal identity, so make sure you like it!
Onward...once you have filled everything out, verified that you are over thirteen, agreed to the terms of service and verified that you are not a robot, click create! If your username is taken then you may have to fiddle with it. make sure you remember to watch the box at the bottom, and fill in the nubers and letters at the bottom of the page if needed...
Once your journal has been created, you'll see this page:
You will need to check your e-mail before continuing. You will have recieved an e-mail containing a link, click that link. It confirms that you just created a new journal! After that is done, click on the "edit personal info" button! (if checking your mail has taken you away from the original page shown above simple go here...
Either way you doit, you should end up here:
Click done when you are finished. From here, you can look at your journal, or your profile. Your journal will be in defaul mode...to change how it looks, click here:
That will take you here:
From here you need to select New System (S2) as stated above and click change...That will take you here:
1 Let you change the layout of your journal, for examples click the (previews) button, it will show you how journals look with each different layout. My preffered layout is generator, because it looks the cleanest.
2 Customize the Language (but I'd leave this alone if I were you...
3 Change the color Scheme of your journal. This changes which elements are which colors...my personal favorite themes are the default theme or the everblue with gray.
4 Clicking this lets you further customize specific colors and other elements of your journal...you can explore this once you get more comfortable...
5 This lets you choose a mood theme a mood theme is an icon that appears in your post that corresponds to your mood! Like this:
Click modify journal and look at the list...
This page should pop up...You can scroll through or hit preview to see all the different ways to portray mood! After you've made all your changes you have the option of seeing your newly customized journal...but you have no entries in said journal to look at, so next, lets tackle updating (or posting!). From the page you are on (or any page the bar menu appears...this being the bar menu):
Hover the cursor over "journal" and then click the three dots following the word "update", like the picture above. This will take you here, to the extended post format:
Here you can type whatever you want to go into your journal! You can talk about anything, but don't forget to fill out your mood and music! =) Then click Update jouranl at the bottom and it will give you a link to your journal! Bask in a job well done, my friend!
