I need a layout!

Oct 28, 2007 12:43


Well, I'm here on LJ, but I have to admit that I'm totally useless with this stuff. I don't do icons or graphics. I don't write fic (although I read it! Where the hell is all the Jate fic lately?!).  So, I only have my winning personality to offer.  LOL.  So, anyone out there wanna help me with a layout? I'd really like a Jate layout.  Jate makes ( Read more... )

Carrie should be able to help you out with technical stuff. I'm still useless after two years, lol!

I will however introduce you to the rest of hussy nation on LJ when I get back home tonight and you'll have lots more people discovering you by the end of the day. :-*

Hey Hunny! Awwww Jate makes you happy. They make me happy, too.

Do you know what kind of layout this is, like...the style title? I can help you find a header and get that up and then you can just go through and tailor the colors to match your header. I recommend the flexible squares layout as its really easy to work with and it looks really nice...but if you want to keep this style, just let me know what kind it is and I'll find the header code for you.

And to save userpics so you have options to use when your posting, I recommend joining these communities so you can see updates for icons on your friends page...

losticons
jackkatefans
foxy_daily

So like I said, let me know what layout you'd like to use and I'll find some header options for ya. ;-)

Well, I like this layout. I made a header that's fine for me, not perfect, but good enough. But now I just can't figure out how to get it on the page.

Thanks, I really appreciate your help!

Okay... You need to go to:

Customize Journal -> Click Customize Selected Theme -> Customize CSS -> and then paste this code into the big blank box labeled "Custom Stylesheet" - make sure you change the height (in pixels) in your header code to match the height of your header (make sure you have your header uploaded to photobucket or something like that because you'll need the link code to put into your header code. I made a simple Jate header and put it into this code with the height matching so you can see what I'm talking about) Copy and paste this into that box:

.headerimage {
height: 342px;
background-image: url("http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h93/Carrielynne2323/Icons/Dontleaveme.png") !important;
background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
background-attachment: scroll !important;
background-position: center !important;

margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
}

Hay - it's mom from the fuse. Friending you if that's OK. I don't have a header so you're way ahead of me.

Hi! Friending you back. Now I need to keep a freakin' flow chart to match up who's who here and on the fuse.

Hey there!

amantium_irae just pimped you out! So, I thought I'd come over and say hi. So... HEY!

Welcome to lj. Don't worry about the technical shit, it will all come in time. I see you already have Carrie walking you through it, so you should be fine. She's a good leader. Has a firm grip.

The name's Kristina. *flashes boobs*

I'm a hussy (hee!), and I ship (otp) Jack and Kate! Seeing that you ALSO ship Jack/Kate, and love the Fox, I think we'll get along just fine.

Anywho, I'll be friending you, if that's okay. You're special. How do I know? Anyone pimped out by Clauds is special. lol.

Have a good one!

I don't know what I did, but I did something.
I think I accidentally deleted the comment, and then... re-posted?

Here I was, thinking I knew what I was doing. *sigh*
