Help me with the style (....)  
And YES!! You can.

So here is the thing, I discovered a few things while beta testing the layout. There are some things that 3colum doesn't have that I want, there are other things that 3 column has that I want to be different and that are different in other styles... so the job is to mix and match and I have no idea if that is possible to the extent that I want it to be.

Is there a feature in any lj style that simply automatically lists all tags used on the index page?


So..what I actually did discover that I saw before and find odd, is that, when you have your layout set so it views all friends-list entries in your own style, the it does so, but it not only shows the entry of the person on your flist, but changes all the relative link on your layout as well.

So if you generally link to aa userinfo instead of linking to your own (lj then chooses yours automatically), then in the friends view the userinfo links to the person who made the entry and not your own journal.

In that case would you prefer relative or direct linking?

As comparison, the tags/keywords are directly linked and always go to my journal.


ETA: so my big discovery doesn't actually work... it only works if you create the style in the advanced customization center and then apply it. The only thing I could do,is make screenshots for you with the style applied to your journal. Should you like that.

Damn... I'm gonna write a mistake list soon.

Yeah..I just realized that. *grumble*

For that style id switch to work you have to make it a public style. Then everyone can use it to switch and test it out. At least that's how I think it should work. =)

Oh and is there supposed to be a black Balken over your header? I think it looks like something just didn't load properly o.O
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 13th, 2006 09:41 am (UTC)
The black is suppposed to be there.

And I made it public..but it still doesn't work.
[identity profile] tirica.livejournal.com on June 13th, 2006 10:17 am (UTC)
Hmm maybe it just looks weird with my resolution then ;) Or I'm just not a fan of black bars o.O

And well, that's truly odd then.

But I will make it a bit smaller. I just think all white is too plain...

But it is a horror movie!!!!!!

which is why i am talking about it, in our conversation about horrormovies... and i think together we shall beat it... and not be afraid ^^... we could of course try to pick up some (handsome) strong men, who will protect us from teh monsters!

it was... okay... could've been better... we took most of the questions from the march exam... which of course i didn't have... -.-

the prof is really nice, but... well... we're so damn lazy... a friend of mine was taking it too and she had learned as little as me... we were so awesome... and i think with one day of learning we were quite great:D

but it doesn't work period. Somehwere in my heated brain I thought it would!!!
