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.

hi there, again, thx a lot for ur help. i have successfully removed the sidebar, but didnt manage to get the image map up. i asked around a few others, and most said i cant get them on LJ, only on my own domain name. nonetheless, im still trying my luck and looking at how it can be done.

do u by any chance have any idea how to post image at its original size? if u take a look at my page, closetdistrict.livejournal.com, u can see that all the images i posted are auto scaled down to 320x214. why is it that case? can i customise/change this part? thx again.

This is the image code you have in your journal which is likely the direct link they gave you from scrapbook.

This is the addy to the full size picture.

So if you went into the HTML option for the post and simply remmoved the /s320x240 it should work.

thx. it was beautifully done. (: is there a chance to add more headers? by headers im trying to mean the "Archives, Friends, Recent Entries, User Info" i would like to add another one like previous post, etc.

also, i hope to add a paragraph of introduction on the site, so that everytime people visit closetdistrict.livejournal.com, they will alsways see the paragraph there. i hope u know what i mean. thx. (:

Re: using the layouts

I don't think you can change the header per page. I wouldn't know how to.

As for paragraphs. There are two options. One is to make a post that is set in the future. For a regular journal this will work. It is like a Friends Only Post. You keep it in the future so that it is always at the top of the journal.

Or the second is a sticky post. You can see an example

The below post and comments tell you how to accomplish it though I've never done it.
