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.

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.
