Zenbox F.A.Q.
Please take the time to read through this brief F.A.Q. Any question that I feel is adequately answered here will receive no reply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Zenbox? What the hell is a zenbox?
A. Name of my community. (duh) No really, it's inspired by the CSS Zen Garden movement started by Dave Shae. Since the majority of what I offer here is style sheets for your journal, I thought it fitting.
Q. How do you feel about credit?
A. I appreciate is greatly when I am credited. It allows other people to find my community and use my themes. It is also the polite thing to do. I've spent time creating a theme that I share with other's, crediting seems an appropriate, "thank you," for the work. I though, will not gather a posse and hunt you down if you forget to credit me. Life is too short to waste time on such nonsense.
Q. I really like your theme but don't like the (insert small thing here). Can I modify the style sheet?
A. Sure. If you know enough about CSS, then please, modify it to your hearts content. I won't wail and bemoan the loss of a font size. What I cannot do is help you if something goes wrong with the modification. I offer the themes as-is. You're on your own if you go down the route of modification.
Q. I really like the set up of the theme. Can I just use it as a template and replace the images with my own?
A. Yeah, sure, why not. Just remember, you're on your own if something goes wrong with the theme.
Q. I've used your theme to make one of my own. Can I offer it up to others?
A. If you leave a shout out in your CSS stylesheet, sure. Leaving a comment in your stylesheet is a nice way of saying, thanks and it allows other people to find my themes. I don't think it is a lot to ask, do you?
Q. Er, how do I give a "shout out" on the stylesheet?
A. Easy, just do something like this:
/* Based off zenbox theme: http://zenbox.livejournal.com*/
That's it. One line of comment code and you're done.
Q. Can I link to your images (hotlinking)?
A. Sure. The images are hosted in my scrapbook. By default I leave all the appropriate image urls in the style sheet but I do highly encourage and recommend that you save the images on your hard drive.
Q. There is a problem with the theme, where do I post?
A. If there is a problem with a theme and this problem is not caused by your own modifications of the theme, you are welcome to make a reply in the themes post alerting me to it.
Q. Are you looking for affiliates?
A. No. The closest I'll get to an affiliate is my friend carriep63. She runs, maintains, just is general awesomeness. everything_lj, freelayouts, freelayouts_s2, s2_bloggish and carriep63_stuff.
