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.

No apologies needed (especially since after a long day), I often do that too or read something that isn't there :P.

Okay I've been messing with it. And I put in all the tiny icons and everything but I can't get them to work and when it comes to this coding I'm less that stellar.
Less than stellar!? you managed to put in a header in the layout when it's not suppose to be there, for me, that's quite a stellar performance right there.

So does this mean that you don't require me to give you links to the tiny icons? (I can replace them with my own later yes? if you're able to figure out the problem)

I'm going to see what I can come up with. Maybe the maker knows the issue.
Would you like me to ask or is it better that you ask since it may go into technicalities that I don't possess the skill for?

Thanks. I excel mostly in Flexible Squares but I'm can figure out most coding which is why I offer help in the other layouts. Still what has me stumped is that everything looks like it should work but it isn't. That doesn't make sense.

I would actually still love to get the links. You only have to give me one if they are in the same folder or place in your photobucket because the beginning of the link is what I really need. That way I will know when it is ready for your copy and paste.

I asked because I'm hoping she and I will communicate smoothly. Who knows. I will let you know.

Is flexible square a very versatile layout since it seems that's the pick of the choice with the creators (I've seen many lovely works, the one that brought me here was your supernatural layout :D).

It is strange that it's not working when everything seems as it should...I hope that you'll be able to speak to the creator. If she asks who you're doing this for, tell her doumo_kun88 because I believe that I commented on her layout post with this username.

I have the links but I didn't know how to deliver it to you so I hope this isn't confusing:

I just seem to prefer it for some reason. Of course, I've become so well versed in it so that helps. I need to mess with other layouts.

This will be great. I see what happens and I love the lightbulb and the lorry. So cute!

[atsugari8.livejournal.com]

I do find that I often go with flexible squares or sometimes smooth sailing when I'm using a person's work :). The design is simple and clean.

I think there's no sense of coordination with my choice of icons :P, just chose what I liked. I like the lightbulb and the lorry too :D! famfamfam icons are so adorable~

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

True I love the famfamfam icons too.
