need HTML!

[misteddreams]

it's a bit different being on here, looking at other people's LJ's and not being able to do anything about mine. Ah well... I guess i'll have to look into it a bit more. Katie [my girlfriend] should be here any minute now so I'll see you all later.

Its much easier to change to the old system. Just go into manage and customize and change it. Then you can go to the journal Howto and they give you all kinds of html codes and tell you how to change everything like backgrounds and colors and everything else. :-D

sure, i'll help you. Just tell me what you want to do with your layout and ill give you the codes.

<*lj-cut text = "Text Here" >

<*/lj-cut>

take out the * and make sure there are no space where the asterics were

Go into the customize and you said that you already changed your style system to old system, at the bottom you will see a link that says modify journal. Click on that. Now its the tricky part. I find it easier to change all of the layout styles to Generator. You can skip all the way down to the overrides section now. Enter this in the override section.

GLOBAL_HEAD<*=
<*style type="text/css"*>
<*!--
body {
background-color: transparent !important;
background-image: url(URL Here) !important;
background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
background-attachment: fixed !important;
background-position: 0% 50% !important;
}
/* change these numbers, must add up to 95% or less*/
table {
width: 45%;
margin-left: 50%;
margin-right: 0%;
}
/* do NOT change these numbers */
table table {
width: 100%;
margin:0;
}
table table table {
width: auto;
}
--*>
<*/style*>
<*=GLOBAL_HEAD

when you enter this make sure that you take out all of the asterics except these ones

/* change these numbers, must add up to 95% or less*/

/* do NOT change these numbers */

where it says URL Here.. you just enter the url of the piture that you want.

Everything should work..and if it doesnt then tell me. You can also play with the color themes (i can help you with this too) and you can also change what your comments say, so it wont just say leave a comment. If you want ill give you the code for that too
