I'm having LJ issues... - ...and you guys are the Dons of LJ's!

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hey all,
My LJ is causing me GRIEF! I can't get it to look the way I want it too and it is super annoying :angry: I need some help before I go insane :madder: :lol:

*calms*

Ok, you genious's...i want a layout where i can have an individual icon per post...whats the best way to do that? Is it even possible with a free account? I can't seem to find one that will let me :( Any thoughts?

Thanks :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#728FCE:post_uid0]Unless you get a paid account, I don't think you can.

Only in the comment view, near as I can tell.

I suggest checking out the communities (memories, really) overridehelp and howto.[/color:post_uid0]

[Alexia]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I had a little investigate...and i think you are very right! So true...you get what you pay for! :D Thanks Nan[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]The Unearthed (http://www.livejournal.com/community/s2unearthed/) style has seperate icons for each post, and is available for free users.

As far as I know, you can still only have a maximum of 5 or so user icons at a time, though.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I have individual icons on my posts on my Friends page, and I have a free account. Some journal styles don't seem to have spaces for individual posts within the actual journal, mine possibly included. But I think they should still display the different icons on any Friends pages.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000F22:post_uid0]Actually.... I THINK there's an ugly monkey-around you can use.

S'here. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/howto/23452.html)[/color:post_uid0]

[Alexia]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Ooooooooh choices! Just when I thought I had it figured! :D Thanks![/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]The maximum number of user icons for an unpaid account is 3, I believe :)[/color:post_uid0]

[Alexia]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]OK, I sorted the layout to my satisfaction (ish ;) ) with [b:post_uid0]Draknek[/b:post_uid0] help (t/y!)

Now, i assume you can type something in the About this Journal section at the top...but, exactly how do you do that?! Am i missing something? I cant find it anywhere!

Thanks for the patience with this LJ newbie...I am NEARLY there! I have a feeling I'm gonna be playing about with the colours for some time though...! :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I think you can do that at the same place you edit your profile.[/color:post_uid0]

[Alexia]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]On closer inspection...i still can't find it :lol: The info on the profile page is about you, not about this journal...oh well :D[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Of course, you could do the really smart thing and get rid of it alltogether. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[Alexia]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I like my LJ :D It's a whole new place to vent the anger from my day without annoying any actual human beings. I don't care if anyone reads it, it's just for me :D[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid4][quote:post_uid4="Alexia"]It's a whole new place to vent the anger from my day without annoying any actual human beings.[/quote:post_uid4]

But since it's Pointy you're talking about, the fact that your LJ exists probably just annoys him no end.


Oh hang on, wait. You did specify [i:post_uid4]human beings[/i:post_uid4]. Sorry. My bad. ;)[/color:post_uid4]

[Nan]

[color=#000F22:post_uid0]I'll just be standing by with the garden hose in case any of those burns ignite the poor guy. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Speaking of PHJ's LJ... KJ? :p[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Someday, I will have my revenge on you all, oh yes, someday...

<span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!</span>[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]"Someday" sounds a lot like "soon"... :D[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]*sings* Someday... when I'm awfully 'lone... when the night is cold... I will get a glow just thinking of you... and the waaaayy you looooook toniiiiiight....[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

Hey OW! I resent that!

*shoots PHJ through with tiny splinters of glass*

[PointyHairedJedi]

Owieness.

I would like to take this juncture to state that I have not taken control of the LJ under my name. It was all PHJ's fault, I'm telling you!
