Theme and Layout Change Tutorial

All embedded in coding from Google Fonts

Sidebar on the Side - no header


Sidebar on Top no header image



Additional Layout Directions: Adding A Header image

  1. Currently this layout is not set up for a Header Image. However you can add on by putting the link in the .headerimage section. You should change the height in that section to the same height as your image. This will make your header overly your journal. Follow the directions below to change that...

  2. First find the .maincontent coding. Currently it has a padding of 45px on top. If you image is 300px in height then you will want to add 300px to this 45px padding for a total of 345px. If you image is a height of 250px then your total top padding would be 295px and so on.

  3. Then find your .sidebar coding. In this you will see the margin-top is set to the same 45px. The same idea applies. If you image is 300px in height add 300px to 45px for 345px.

Hi! I was wondering if it was possible to add a rotating header? Or is that something you can't do on LJ?

Never mind! I figured it out with these tutorials:

I totally love this, especially the sidebar on the top! <3 However, I am having some trouble with the "blurb/free text" part of the sidebar. Somehow it's "array". The "title" will appear left next to the actual box (instead of at the top) and the text box is also not the same as the ones for e.g. "tags" box and such. It doesn't have a background colour either, but that's something I can live with. But it looks a bit weird altogether. Do you have any idea why that is? You can look at it here: http://author-paradise.livejournal.com/46718.html
I know, it's a different theme that I used, but I checked and the phenomenon is the same with the original theme. I would appreciate your help very much, because I really, really like this solution and I want to use it, but I'm just not happy with it as is. D:

No rush here. I hope your mom is recovering well. And RL can be so busy, I know. I've made some further adaptions to make it look a bit smoother, but maybe you'll find a way to make it work even better.

Just the theme I'm looking for!!! So clean and simple. THANK YOU <3 <3 <3
Thank you for making a theme like this AND showing a detailed instruction on how to use it for people like me so dumb with tech.

Hey! I was editing your layout a bit, so I don't know if it's due to my edits or not, but someone posted on my comm and they had a long username + no avatar. It turned out like this, with the text in a weird spot + overflowing onto the sidebar:

The post I made myself looks just fine though, so it seems like it's only a problem when they don't have a user icon. If it wasn't just that I messed something up somewhere you might want to check it out! Thanks for the layout!

Hi, I'm using this currently but I have a problem.
When I bold a text, it turns green and if I place a color, it's not that color but instead another color.
Can u help?

Hello! I'm using the Sidebar on Top version of the layout for a comm that I just started, but I'm having trouble with the ad placement. The ads are showing up above the whole blog but vertically. Is there a way to make them show up horizontally?

This is the comm: http://soyouwanttostan.livejournal.com/

I'm sorry for the trouble, and thank you in advanced!

[identity profile] showminomoney.livejournal.com 2017-02-08 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I've actually tried that before asking. It was set to Between Entries*, but changing it to Horizontal did nothing. It's okay if there isn't a solution for it.

I have another question though. Is there a way to put a space between the top bar and the first post on the home page? When I enter a post, there's a space that shows up where the 'Previous. Edit. Tag. Memories.. ect' buttons are, but there isn't any space on the homepage. The layout preview shows that there should be one.

Again, I'm sorry for the trouble and thank you so much for your help in advanced.

That worked! Thank you! :)
