Easy Fixes You Might Not Know About

No worries. We'll find the answer.
So not everyone is a LiveJournal expert (I swear I'm not either). And, of course, there are those out there that are learning this all for the first time. So here are a few things that have come up that I hope will help beginners and people who just hadn't figured it out yet. And yes, this is the second such post. The first just had a ton of comments and I wanted to clean things up.

So in my support request about this problem, LJ informed me they fixed the problem and yet this issue didn't go away. So I went to [livejournal.com profile] s2flexisquares because I wasn't sure the fix I thought I found would work entirely. Thank goodness because [livejournal.com profile] fueschgast seriously helped me out but teaching me a new trick. Always good to keep learning even when it seems hard.

There are a few pieces of the coding we need to change the openers to so it goes back to working properly.

Also, I have a feeling this is a problem a lot of people are experiencing so I would appreciate it if you spread the word but clicking the repost below.

So not everyone is a LiveJournal expert (I swear I'm not either). And, of course, there are those out there that are learning this all for the first time. So here are a few things that have come up that I hope will help beginners and people who just hadn't figured it out yet.

My Journal

  2. How do I change my Tiny Icons?

  3. There is a strange block of color behind my layout. What is going on?

Header Section

  3. There is a large gap under my header image. How do I remove it?

Entries

  2. How do I post a future post without it being added to my Scheduled Entries?

  3. How do I remane the comment links at the bottom of my entry?

  4. Why doesn't my subject text look the same as your Layout image. How do I get the font?

  5. I don't want my to see my layout when I click into posts or comments. How do I make my posts theme-less?

Comments Page

  1. I don't want my comments page to be customized. / I want to use the customizations my layout offers for my comments pages.

Sidebar

  1. How do I change the title of my sidebar sections?

  2. How do I add a calendar to my sidebar?

  3. I have the Calendar set to shwo up on my sidebar but it isn't working with your layout?

  4. I have made multiple tags and want to change them. How do I edit my tags?

  6. I noticed you have two links sections. How did you do that?

  7. How do I get rid of the sidebar all together and just have my entries?

  8. I have my default userpic on my sidebar but how do I center and customize it?

Friends Page

  1. I'm seeing a gap above my header image (between it at the account banner) on my Friends Page but not on my Journal's homepage. How can I get rid of the gap?

Tiny Icon Tutorial

Nov. 6th, 2009 11:48 am
ext_194372: TVD: Caroline Close Up (Default)
[identity profile] sireesanwar.livejournal.com
Account Status: Free
Actions: Putting Tiny Icons in your journal
Theme: Flexible Squares (not sure if it works with other themes)

I've had a lot of difficulty with this so I would recommend going step by step with this tutorial. Change one on my sections and then save your coding. This way if something doesn't work you can easily remove it.

The issue I have been having is that I will put in all the code and save but the customs saves don't actually apply. The Custom CSS page reloads white after I hit save which means something is wrong with the code or maybe there is just too much coding in that little box (I have recently discovered that there can be too much code in this box). I don't know the issue but this is why I say do it in stages.
