Live journal layouts
« on: May 14 2006, 01:31 pm »
I've had a livejournal for a while but I was really wondering how you make graphics and then you are able to make them as part of your layout. I've seen a few people with free accounts and they've had just like pictures at the top of their pages and then their journal below. So does anyone happen to know how to put a graphic at the top of you livejournal?

Do you guys know what I mean? Thank you!

I'm kinda new too but the graphic is called banner & you can make it with photoshop.
you can join any graphic livejournal community & ask them to make one for you preferberly with a picture that you have. ^^

Set made by me! ^_^

Lika-Chi should know, she has the most awesome layouts!
I'm quite happy with my more simple layout.

Ahaha, that's easy, Okamirei-chan "cheated" XD (Taught me how to do that on msn too. :P)
Instead of filling in you mood at the bottom of your entry everytime you post, ignore that part (leave it blank), and put this at the end of each entry itself:
[mood : <img src="image url here"> mood ]
An example can also be seen on my LJ. ^^
Ack! no matching sig. x_x

Ehe, hai, just write
[Mood: <img src="IMG URL"> Your mood here ] at the end of each of your entry. It's just sometimes annoying that you have to go through your mood images and decide which one to use  :sweatdrop:
