Change of style

Apr 18, 2011 20:39

When I logged into LJ this morning, I found that the layout had reverted to default. I checked other people's journals and theirs were OK.. What the...?

Oh, well, since I had to re-do it, I decided to change the layout style when I got home tonight. So this is my "Lechenaultia Blue" style - you might want to put on your sunglasses! :)

Whoa! Unique. But it's readable, which is the main thing. I hate those stark B&W journals-- can't even look at them, just click, scream, and whisk away. This is kind of fun. Like the flowers.

Thank you. I know what you mean. It's a bit like those bright red or yellow layouts that just make my eyes hurt!

I've always loved the blue lechenaultia flowers. I've tried to grow them a couple of times, but they haven't survived. Maybe one day I'll be able to do it!

It's very pretty, Maewyn. Not too eye-shocking at all. :)

It's a bit bright, but I'm really happy with it. It's one of my favourite colours!

I think it's very pretty, Maewyn. Do you know why/how you lost your other layout? That seems a bit rude, for it just to happen like that. However it's nice to have a change, and blue is a very refreshing colour.

Thank you.

I have no idea whatsoever why that happened. When I opened it up, it had a dark blue background, and the message area was beige. It was narrow, had no side bar and the fonts had changed. I tried to fix it then, but it didn't look right.

At first I thought everyone else's journal would look the same, but no, theirs were the same as usual.

Anyway, I'm really happy with this one. I may tweak a couple of bits and pieces, but otherwise, this is it!

dreamflower02 on my f'list just posted that her layout has gone strange also.

I like your new layout. If you're interested, it looks like there are a lot of support requests open on this subject. Here's one with a possible solution from the LJ team at the bottom of the page:

Thank you very much, Shirebound! I'll keep this page saved in case it happens again. I've become quite attached to this new one now!
