Layout Lounge Help Desk

[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.

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.

Request

Hello :]]

Is it possible to make a request for a header?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Request

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Sure. Ideas are necessary, images are welcome.

Fantastic, thank you! I've been trying to create a header (with no success) for the singer/actress Ashleigh Gray. Could you create a header for this, please?

What sort of information/ideas would you need?

Re: Request

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I've been sick. I have been trying to find some good source pictures but she's not an easy one to find great pictures of.

Never mind on the info. I figured it out.

If you have any large images of her... that would help. I'm not going to guarantee anything here because this is one of the hardest requests I've come across but I'm going to keep trying.

Re: Request

[defiiance.livejournal.com]

You don't need to apologise for being ill! Thank you for trying :]

If it helps, on photobucket, I have uploaded most of the photos of her that I could find (not including headshots because they're fairly obvious). They're here: http://s955.photobucket.com/home/HBH-94. I hope that helps.

PS> I'm sorry for the hard request!

Re: Request

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

That actually helps a lot because some of the pictures on the net of her, I wasn't sure about. Thanks.

I'll see what I can do.

I'm up for a challenge I just hate having to tell people I couldn't manage it. But I'm going to TRY! Promise.

Re: Request

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Tell me what you think of this header... I have to say this was pretty hard and I kind of did a little Wicked theme as that is what is really popular now... I hope you like it.

Re: Request

[defiiance.livejournal.com]

Like it? It's fabulous. Thank you! :]

Re: Request

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Really! I'm so glad. It was a tough one. I really wish I could have accomplished something a little more seamless but if you like it I'm glad.

Re: Request

[defiiance.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to point out that before the header was of some flowers! Not very Ashleigh related in an Ashleigh community. Anything would have been great and this really is good :]

Re: Request

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

I'm glad.

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me create an Alec McDowell layout (Dark Angel). I'm pretty much incompetent when it comes to coding. I would be eternally grateful!

Here's some images I really like:

1. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss73/freudianslipp/Jensen/jensen-6.jpg&imgrefurl=http://s563.photobucket.com/albums/ss73/freudianslipp/Jensen/%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3Djensen-6.jpg%26newest%3D1%26co%3D10&usg=__unaGC2_Ifo-7h3UrG0e94i54g-Y=&h=300&w=400&sz=13&hl=en&start=18&itbs=1&tbnid=ScVHB2-LcJgQ0M:&tbnh=93&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dalec%2Bmcdowell%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D21%26tbs%3Disch:1

Is there anything you can do with this? I'm just so hopeless at this stuff! Thanks in advance, even if you can't help. :)

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

I would love to try this out. I might add some images or just work with these. I always love looking at Jensen... it has been a long time since I thought of DA.

I'll do my best.

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Finally I'm getting back to you!

Okay so I love your request because it really got me emersed in Jensen/Alec pictures and I loved it. I also think I've done pretty good but I want to show you what I've done over at my testing ground... workshop_rees.

If you go to this comm you will see the layout being used is the one I've created for you. Also the first post on my test comm has two headers. I used two pictures you gave me and then on the other header I used some lovely pictures I found. *grins*

I have yet to put in any tiny icons (music, location, user, etc) and if you would like some you can check out different tiny icons over at My Tiny Icon collection page 1 (http://layout-lounge.weebly.com/tiny-icons.html) or at Tiny Icon Collection page 2 (http://layout-lounge.weebly.com/tiny-icons-2.html). You tell me which ones you want and I will insert them into the code for you.

Usually you want icons for
Music:
Location:
Mood:
Tags:
User:
Comm:
Custom Groups (if you have customized friend groups):

Remember be brutally honest. And you can comment on that header post at the testing ground.

I left you a long, gushing reply at your test comm, but let me say again I LOVE YOU FOR THIS LAYOUT.

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

I got it. I replied because there are some things I need you to do so we can get it live on your journal.
