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.

I totally can! I will be posting a new entry with explanations of the coding I'm giving you in it. It will be a small crash course in Header Coding.

Hi, I really hope you can help me. I've cruised around all over the place and haven't been able to find a tutorial or help page addressing my problem.

I'm using 3 Column in my personal journal. My problem is the three little buttons below my username (below my default userpic). How do I get rid of those?

This was an interesting challenge.

Hi! I was looking for a wintery Supernatural layout. I like the style sheet I have now, but I was wonder if you could help me a bit. I like the way my LJ is laid out ,but I want more blue in it instead of green and a header that is winter-ish and Supernatural-ish all at the same yime. THANKS!

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing you want the text color of your layout to change because it is really dark and very hard to read? You like the black and dark gray tones you have though right?

Supernatural as in Sam and Dean or do you prefer one over the other (see my journal at sireesanwar)... other characters? Do you have any images you really love? I might have to outsource the image which isn't too much of a problem... though I might be able to do it too.

I'm better at figuring out the layout.

[angi-is-altered.livejournal.com]

Yes...I like the dark tones, but I would like a tiny bit of blue in there.

I would love a header with Dean,Castiel,Sam, if you can manage it.


THANKS A BUNCH!

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll see what I can do.

[angi-is-altered.livejournal.com]

You are awesome!

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Wintery? Okay well do you mean the header? Do you want it to say anything specific?

Look here (http://community.livejournal.com/workshop_rees/) and tell me what you think so far... disregard the header... it is mine and I'm using it to hold the place....

Okay wintery do you mean like snow or something?

[angi-is-altered.livejournal.com]

Wintery? Okay well do you mean the header? Do you want it to say anything specific?

Yea, the header. I would love that header, just maybe without the red.

It's up to you and what you can do. Maybe if you can put the links and sidebar on the left. Let me know. I don't want you driving yourself nuts over it. It awesome you are even helping me to begin with.

[angi-is-altered.livejournal.com]

Also, maybe have the font small, not too small, not huge.


Sorry....I know i am being a pain in the ass.

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Okay I can do that but I still don't think I understand the header business.

Describe to me what you mean by wintery? Because it could mean snow and festive or just darker.

I only want specifics because I like to be thorough and don't feel bad about the things you want changed. You asked for this so I'm making it just how you want it!

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Cool

The top links too? Do you like the fonts I've used? Too frilly? More plain?

Let me know.

[angi-is-altered.livejournal.com]

Header: Just darker or black,white and gray

Top links: I like the font, just wonder if it can be smaller.


Also, you are AWESOME to do this for me!

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Okay check it out now... it has a header now that my friend actually made... I made the header links small... the font might have to change because it is hard to read.

Check It Out (http://community.livejournal.com/workshop_rees)

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

I have a version of the header without words or we can even change what it says.

[angi-is-altered.livejournal.com]

OMG! YES! That is perfect!!! Yes! yes!!!


*HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS*

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

*yay* serenitysangel is really happy you like your header. She's a genius with the art work and posts icons at our graphics journal. Link at top.

Okay first I want you to go through everything....

Font sizes on entries
Font sizes on sidebar
There is a test post with comments... check to see if you like the font and look when people reply on your journal.

When you okay everything. I'll post the layout and everything here.

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Also I have to say that I've fallen in love with the header to... serenitysangel rocks.

[angi-is-altered.livejournal.com]
