Don't mind the icon. I don't get paid for this at all. I enjoy it and there are many of you who are always telling me they think they can figure it out but sometimes they get stumped and I'm hoping these explanations of the coding are helping you. If not, let me know what is confusing you.

There are some of you out there that like the default Live Journal view of their posts and comments area. That is totally fine and your comments area is going to look like the below image and not need any of this coding...
( Disable Comment Formatting )
But there are those of you who are like me and love their entire journal decked out the way they want it to look. This is how my comments on my personal journal look:
If this you want your comments to be customized like your journal then here is the coding.... you will want to change the above option to No or leave it on No... which ever.

Look it is Rollo from Vikings. Major distraction there... moving on.

Something I always forget about it the currents which are your location, music, mood and custom friends groups. The only one of these I ever really use are the custom friends groups and mood. So I tend to turn off the location & music. So I think I shoudl teach you a think or two about this area of the coding and while we are at it we will just do the entire bottom section of a post which includes ljtags and comments. This also includes Tiny Icons for the currents, users, community, and posts.

Let the Social Media Roll

Actions: Social Media Icons with Hover Roll

If you'd like to see the social icons spin check out the icons on the sidebar. These images will not work on a post unless you have a paid account but the will work on the sidebar of any account type. I suspect LJ doesn't let image classes work in non-paid accounts.

1. Let's get the images. I'm including the blank image so if need be you can create your own social media icon which I did do with the bloglovin icon.

Next the coding for you blurb/free text box on your sidebar.

Trying to get this effect on your sidebar?

This is a very simple code:


You can put this in your blurb section of your sidebar. And by repeating it you'll get a set of social media icons, just put the links one right after another.

However it is possible you want to go from this:

to this:

Finding Userpics and Other Profile Links

Actions: Finding Your Profile Links (Userpics, Memories, etc.)
Theme: All

So, I figured this out pretty quickly but it has come to my attention that I'm just geared to think like a developer and designer and not necessarily like a users. Which means LJ (my too sometimes) made the stupid move of making things harder on us but have no fear. Your links to updating your userpics or going to your memories aren't gone they are just hard to find.

1. Go to your profile. You are going to see some useless information. We are looking for Statistics on the right.

Changed Comment Links, Currents & Header Link Titles

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.)
