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.

See if these tips will help before you comment... )

The links at the top of your journal are contained in the header section of your coding. This doesn't include your header image but you can put it in this section. I tend to have mine at the bottom so it is easy to find. Your header image is controlled by the coding for headerimage. These two elements will effect each other.

As you can see the top of the entry is under the header image but only because I scrolled up so you could see this feature.

My Journal

  1. How can I change the amount of Journal entries on my journal or friends page?

  2. How do I change my Tiny Icons?

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

  4. Why can't I get the Title and Subtitle to show up on my journal?

  5. Is it possible to remove the Page Title from the Journal Title when I'm in my posts?

Header Section

  1. How do I change the names of the links on my navbar?

  2. My header image is multiplying itself. How do I stop it?

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

Entries

  1. Why isn't my userpic moving from Left to Right (or visa versa)?

  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.

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

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

  5. How do I add linked images to my sidebar?

  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?

So I don't know what the PTBs over here at LJ are doing but they've screwed up so stuff again. I don't know if you are noticing your Tiny Icons are all messed up. Not only that but Rounded Corners are all reverting to the squared look. Tranistions and Transform of header links on some of my recent layouts is also messed up. Here is an attempt to fix some of LJ's bugs.

Tiny Icons:

This above picture is the issue I discovered. Notice how my cool Super Mario icons are present but you can see the generic LJ icons as well. Thank you for this LJ.

Let's fix these things... )

Theme: Flexible Squares (not sure if it works with other themes)

You've changed to Flexible Squares and have done the Customization of your Theme by inserting a layout code from Layout Lounge or another layout design community. You noticed that the links at the bottom of your posts say comment. You want to make them say something that reflects the new layout you've begun using. (Case in point... this journal uses thought? rather than comment and 2 thoughts rather than 2 comments.)

Customize... )
