RULES
- Credit, please! It stinks to see your stuff on someone else’s journal and not see credit. Not only does it let people know where you got it from but it also makes me feel all warm and squishy inside, which is always nice. For icons, credit julzroguenine or graphicsbyjulz in the 'Comments:' on this page. For my non-icon graphics, I don't care how you credit me (i.e., in your profile, sidebar, or layout post, etc) just as long as you do.
- Please try to comment when taking something. It's not too hard to ask, is it? It helps me know what things are popular and helps stem my curiosity about where my stuff is going.
- ABSOLUTELY NO HOTLINKING! Stealing bandwidth is not cool. Right-Click (or Ctrl-Click if you are an 'evil' Mac user =P), choose 'save-as' to save them to your hard drive, and upload them to your favorite image hosting site (ex: Photobucket, LJ Scrapbook (for Paid/Perm users), or ImageShack). Important Note: This applies to all images, even those included in layouts.
REQUESTS
At this point, I don't have time to make icons/headers/fo banners/etc. for individual people. This isn't to say that I'll say 'no' if you ask real nice and I have the time. But I don't want everyone to do that, or I'll go insane. Sorry. You can, however, make friendly suggestions for themed graphics in
this post.
LAYOUTS
I won't code layouts for you. It takes too long, so don't ask. However, I will occasionally offer layout templates for both Basic/Plus and Paid/Perm accounts. I work exclusively with S2 because you can do so much more with it than S1 (despite the misleading statement about S2 on the Main Customization Page:For users who don't know HTML or CSS, or make only minor alterations. *rolls eyes*). Also, my templates generally will be in grayscale because, contrary to popular belief, I'm not good at colors. In fact, my family says I have a 'drab' sense of taste. =P
I'm very familiar with coding Opal and semi-familiar with Smooth Sailing and Flexible Squares. So I will focus on those.
One of the reasons I started this community was to compile tutorials for Opal because I'm sick of answering the same questions over and over in
opal_help. So you can look for answers here, at my journal, or in that community. If you find any more tricks and hints, comment and I'll add them to my growing list of
Opal Resources.
Cheers!
