Layout Lounge

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.

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.

I had posted some corrections to the Tiny Icons coding. In this coding there were a couple of errors which were brought to my attention. You can find the corrected coding in the original post which is located HERE.

I hope I didn't mess anything up.

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.
