*tinkers*

*plays with her LJ* Hmm. Not sure I entirely like the colors, but I do like the style -- it's neat to be able to see your own icon in a post. I don't like the way the Tags thinger is stuck to the bottom of the entry, though, but I don't know how to fix that, or if it's even fixable. TT_TT *le sigh*



EDIT: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. My LJ is now perfectly perfect. [livejournal.com profile] finnigan_geist, here are my babies. ♥

Oh, Yummy!

I like the new look, it's very easy on the eyes (at least on my screen), colour and style-wise. :D

If it's an S2 style, then I'm pretty sure the tags thing is permanent. I don't know for certain, though; somebody who uses S2 may be able to tell you how to fix it.

[identity profile] rayemars.livejournal.com 2006-01-21 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
The tags are part of all entry options--I even have it, and I use S1--but if you don't type anything in the slot then it shouldn't show up in the entries proper.

*is flopped on* o.x

[identity profile] rayemars.livejournal.com 2006-01-21 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh. I never knew you used tags--there's no way to remove them from the bottom of the entry if you use them, then. At least not that I know of. You could try the FAQ?

*prr*

I don't even see the tags, did you remove them?

[identity profile] finnigan-geist.livejournal.com 2006-01-21 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
...are you using S1? It looks like you are. If so... you can definitely fix that, but I need to tinker a bit to tell you exactly how. OMG BRB.

[identity profile] finnigan-geist.livejournal.com 2006-01-21 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
actually, you can fix it even with S2. I LIE.

BUT STILL, BRB WITH ANSWERS MAYBE.

[identity profile] finnigan-geist.livejournal.com 2006-01-21 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
You use S1, but DON'T WORRY, because that makes it easier for me. I should be able to fix it, but I'm not really adept at this all just yet. I WILL FIND YOU SOLUTIONS, DON'T WORRY.

[identity profile] finnigan-geist.livejournal.com 2006-01-21 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
OK, I got it. But how far down do you want the tags?

I fiddled with my layout so it's like yours, but with the tags moved down. Take a look (http://finnigan-geist.livejournal.com/). The first entry you see should have the tags "another example, example entry tag." Do you want your entry tags down farther than that, or does it look good the way it is?

[identity profile] finnigan-geist.livejournal.com 2006-01-21 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, also, I lied again because you do use S2. BUT THAT'S OK, because while that made it trickier for me to figure out what the HELL I was doing, it's easier for you to apply to your LJ. :)

OK, this is going to be bit complicated, but don't be nervous. I'll take you through it as simply as I can.

Go to your advanced customizations (http://www.livejournal.com/customize/advanced/index.bml) page.

Click "Your Layers"

Down at the bottom, under "Create layout-specific layer," select "Theme" under Type and "Flexible Squares" under layout, then hit "create."

Now there should be a layer there, under the heading "Child of layer 4472608: Flexible Squares." Under "actions," you can edit or delete the layer. Click "edit."

At the top of the box, it'll say
layerinfo "type" = "theme";
layerinfo "name" = "";


OK. So. Now what you need to do is paste your style sheet in the box. I uploaded your stylesheet to the internet because it's waaaay too big to put in a comment.

http://www.geocities.com/shun_the_bandersnatch/asukastylesheet.txt

Copy all the text on that page and paste it in the box, under the two layerinfo lines. Click "Save & Compile" (at the top of your screen). It should think for a moment and then, at the bottom, tell you that it was "Compiled with no errors." If there were errors, let me know! It won't work (buh) if there were.

If that went off without a hitch, you now need to go to your Styles (http://www.livejournal.com/customize/advanced/styles.bml) page. The style you're using will be in bold. Click "edit."

Image

Now, under the dropdown box for "theme," select the number of the layer you just created. [It should be the ONLY layer you've created, I assume (:P). If this part's confusing, I'll explain better, but for now, I'm hoping this is OK.]

Click "Save changes"

Check your LJ. You should have better entry tags!

Again, sorry if this is uber-super confusing. If you're online and need more help, I'm on AIM under username Mooginbravecow.

AHHHH IT WORKED!!

HIGHFIVE.

Noting that I have the same style as you do, I definitely understand the hatred of the tags-in-entry thing. T_T I love everything else about this style, except that. bah. If there is some way to fix it, I have yet to find it, unfortunately.

Also commenting to say hi and that I added you. I've followed your fics for a while now and recently discovered the LJ, so I added it to catch all of the snippets of future chapters. XD

[identity profile] krylonvision.livejournal.com 2006-01-21 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
!! thank you!! ^__^

[identity profile] finnigan-geist.livejournal.com 2006-01-21 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
And this one for your main journal:

and double thanks to you for figuring out how to fix the damned thing in the first place and then coming up for the code for this journal too!

so much love to you!!! ^____^

Wouah *_______* J'adore le nouveau style. C'est plus aeré...plus agréable...(XD)

Although a little frustrating - now I have to get used to an entirely different layout. See me cry. *smiles crookedly*


By the by... I know you dislike random plugs, but this one demands it. I was drifting around on some Japanese fanart sites (when I should have been doing homework... *look of angelic innocence*), and... well, let's just say I found one picture that, combined with memories of your masterful work (hey, flattery gets me everywhere)...

Well, let's just say that I was literally doubled over laughing. And I couldn't exactly explain why to my roommate, either.

Second to last picture. Teh Assbow. :-P

(If you're curious, the site is http://www.omomuki.net/10rankai/ - and, wonder of wonders, it's fairly English-speaker friendly. Just click on the tab that says 'gallery' and have fun. ^_^
