I've come to the conclusion that....

[jagwriter78]

6 icons on LJ are not enough. I need to find a sponsored account friendly LJ layout. I want more icons, dammit! I ain't gonna pay for an account though. My DT and DW addiction sucked up all my money....

ETA: I think I can live with the two ad banners on top and bottom.... At least they are not breaking up the layout anymore :D

ETA2: I know have... 7 Farscape and 8 DW icons available :D

Aw, that's awesome that you got more icons. But I have a paid account and let me tell ya, 100 isn't even enough! Icons! More ICONS!!!

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed that I was adding icons and icons and icons and suddenly it told me I had used up all 15. I have to think about a paid account, but right now I can't afford it.

[aeryn-vala.livejournal.com]

Can't afford a paid account either but luckily I have 7 icons left :D

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Sponsored account as well? ;)

[aeryn-vala.livejournal.com]

Yup...I've a sponsored account :D!

I really like your new layout and I admire the people who are able to make layouts!! But I think I keep my "layout" for a while and maybe change it later this year :D

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

I can't really justify a paid account either. Don't even have enough people on my flist anyway. XD But love the new layout!

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

I ain't gonna shelf out the money either..... but the layout still looks lovely!

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

Did you put it together yourself?

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Nope, I grabbed that from somoene who was offering them for download.

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

Cool. Now I feel like changing mine. lol

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

I have a link on my user info page. That person has over a dozen different DW layouts and also two Farscape ones :)

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I'll think about it. I might just change my background and header images myself anyway. Thanks!

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

I was too lazy to do that! LOL

[teskafuture.livejournal.com]

Love the new layout! I've got to find out how I can get one! *grin*

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

I just showed dnamadscientist how to get one of her own! LOL

[teskafuture.livejournal.com]

Just found a gorgeous New Earth one by the same person who did yours, but I don't have a place to host the pics, so I'll just be waiting a while before I do it.

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Get an account at Photobucket. It's free, and you can host the image there.

And yes, that layout is lovely! I just took the first one I found. And then just 5 minutes ago changed the header anyways LOL

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

I noticed. lol

Me, I've just been playing with my background image and positioning. I'm bored too, can you tell?

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

I am so bored I am watching my own vids...

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Oh my frelling God. RHO! I just found a John/D'Argo vid I made but never finished to the likes of my Far Far Away vid. OH MY FRELLING GOD! I wonder if I should finish that one. It would need a major spew alert!

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

Why the frell not? LOL

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Cause it's Olivia Newton-John! LOL

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

Geez, it's a good thing I swallowed the stuff I was eating before I read THAT!!!

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Can you guess which song?

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

It's either something from Grease, or heaven forbid, Physical???

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Physical LOLOLOLOL I didn't even think about that one!

It's Hopelessly Devoted.

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

That would have been my second guess.

But dear God, if someone were to do a John/D'Argo vid to Physcical....

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Ain't gonna be me, I can tell you that!

[teskafuture.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure on Photobucket yet. It wants a phone number, and I'm not comfortable with that. We'll see if I find something else to put it. I just want to find where to put a banner. I have a geocities account, but I've already used up my bandwidth. *hehe*

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

Try imageshack. You can post larger pictures there too. Just remember to register with an email, or else you can't delete pictures.

[teskafuture.livejournal.com]

Thanks that for that. Now I just gotta figure out how to add a banner! *hehe*

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

Looks like you're using Flexible Squares, right?

If so, you can go to Journal Display->Custom Options->Custom CSS

From there, stick in this code:

.headerimage {
position: relative;
width: 500px; /* Width of the banner, in pixels */
height: 62px; /* Height of the banner, in pixels */
margin-left: auto; /* To center image leave as auto */
/* To right align leave as auto */
/* To left align change to 20px */
margin-right: auto; /* To center image leave as auto */
/* To right align change to 20px */
/* To left align leave as auto */
margin-bottom: 15px; /* Space between bottom of image and outer box of style */
background-image: url("URL of your banner"); /* Header image URL */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

All you have to change is the height and width in pixels of your banner and its URL.

[teskafuture.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the help! *grin* It worked perfectly! *grin*

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

I always use bogus phone numbers LOL But Imageshack is good too :)

[teskafuture.livejournal.com]

You don't happen to know how to add a banner, do ya? I'm researching online trying to figure it out now.

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

That LJ where the layouts are also has tutorials on how to add the layout and banner to your LJ :) You just need to upload the banner to a hosting site.

[teskafuture.livejournal.com]

Nice! I found that as well. I've added a banner for now, but went thru the tutorial to find how to add the layout if I decide to change to that as well. *grin*

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Tiny little tip, you have
background-image: url("http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/9895/banner01webeh7ov.jpg
"); /* Header image URL */

but it needs to read

background-image: url("http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/9895/banner01webeh7ov.jpg"); /* Header image URL */

for the image to show. See the difference?

[teskafuture.livejournal.com]

Ah, it was still showing up to me. I've fixed it now. Does it show? I'm trying to decide whether to keep just the banner or go all out with the layout. Hmmm...

[jagwriter78.livejournal.com]

Yup, shows now. Looks really purty :)

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

:agreed:
