Help Desk Take #2

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

This community is to help me and others find ways to make their journals look how we want them too.

I wouldn't say I'm an expert at messing with layouts though I have figured out a lot about Flexible Squares. If you have a question please feel free to ask me by commenting below.

Couple Rules:

1. And example of your problem or what you want done to your journal.
2. Sometimes it can take me a little while to find the information asked for, so please be patient.
3. I don't do slash-y type things (ie headers). I can still provide you with a layout but then header would have to come from somewhere else.
4. I'm not currently taking requests for requests but I'm more than willing to help you figure out problems with coding.

LJ is dropping the ball a little and so community moderators aren't getting their comments. So if you don't hear back from me in a few days head over HERE to let me know if you need any help.

I've recently created a new journal and right now it is completely blank! I will be upgrading it in about two weeks to a paid account but I really would love a custom layout for it. I think flexible squares is the best layout option and would love to have a Colby Granger themed layout.

This community is perfect for any images that could be used.

I particularly love some of the images from this one

Though anything really from this site from season 3 and above are pretty awesome.

I just want the it to be a clear picture and maybe 2 or 3 put together but I don't want a cluster of face shots. If that makes sense.

I'll be using the layout for my writing and I like dark colors. Reds, blacks, blues.

I really love all of your stuff it is truly amazing what you can do and I hope I am requesting at the right place and that your still accepting requests.

Oh and for whatever banner you come up with I would like to have something like this somewhere on it...

Hey. I was wondering if you could do a layout and header for me. I was wanting something with Cote de Pablo and then with a layout that would match the header. I would also like the header to include my username and perhaps some text. If you need me to I could probably provide some pictures to use for the header, though I'm not sure if I could find pics that are of high enough quality. Your help would be greatly appreciated and of course I would credit you.

Please and thank you.

Hello! I'm new here in lj so I still suck at these things :(

I just want to ask how can you place an lj user in the sidebar, like for example, I want to credit the lj user for making my layout :)

Just like this :) --> http://www.mediafire.com/i/?z0baqbiiqbdtfs3

Thank you so much :)

Hi, there. I found you by Googling, so I hope this is the right place.

I have a permanent paid account, and for the last few years I've been using Autumn, based on Expressive by Taylor Savvy. I don't love it, but I needed to switch to S2 in a hurry because I wanted to be able to uncompress comments, and it's been readable, if a bit smaller font than I'd consider ideal.

A couple of days ago, the font changed. It's still san-serif (again, not ideal for me), but it's smaller and looks almost dot-matrixy, like the old AppleWriter fonts. No one else seems to have had this problem, including someone who's using the same layout I am.

So the simple question is, do you know what might have caused the font change, and how can I fix it? If the designer changed his or her original style, would it propagate through to what I'm using?

The more complex question is, how hard is it to tweak a layout? What I'd really like is the same layout with a) Georgia font at 10 pt and b) a slightly narrower column because I keep my browser at about 2/3 of the screen width and the basic layout is a bit too wide.

(Also, LJ suddenly stopped sending me notifications of comments as of a couple of weeks ago, but I have no idea who I can ask about fixing that. Just sayin'.)

Any help gratefully appreciated.

1. I was using your newest layout with the Castle header, which is lovely.
My problem is that every computer monitor I use is giganimous and therefore I like my layouts to be at least 900px because it makes it easier on my eyes. I tried changing the width and such in the CSS codes but it messed up the layout so that the entries were far lower than they should have been. Any help?

(frozen) A header I made that I thought I would share that maybe someone could use

Hey, I am being a total pest after saying i wouldn't be,

What I really want to do is add a few more links into the header navigation, where archive, info and all that sit. I can't figure out how to do it. i know WHERE to do it but the how escapes me....

[angi-is-altered.livejournal.com]

Would you create a winter theme for me,somewhat like that layout I have now? Could you use this (http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3778/riversidelace.jpg) as a header and the colours along with black as the colors?

[cashay.livejournal.com]

EDIT: Forget what I said, I didn't see that one of the drop down menues had "Yes" selected *embarassed*

Thank you again for all the great layouts =)

[angi-is-altered.livejournal.com]

Would you be willing to do a layout like this one (http://layout-lounge.livejournal.com/29704.html#cutid1),but in British colors.

I was wonder if you could create for me a layout that has the moving parts with a sort of anime/ocean/tattoo feel.

I have some images to add if you can.
