I'm not sure how I feel about this

[sweetprince]

So I finally got up off my ass and converted to S2, and got a new layout. It was more out of frustration at the fact that my tags were always disappearing. Man I'd had that layout forever. I kind of wish I hadn't gone all kamikaze on it. Or that at least I'd taken a screen shot first, because that layout was pretty. And I had pictures in the sidebar, which this fucker doesn't do. Or, rather, I should say, I do not understand CSS well enough to add them.

Anyway, dark_reaction, dark_reaction, dark_reaction.

I still have to fiddle around with a few things. I'm not sure about the color scheme. It might just have to go straight gray, because I think this tealey business is kind of obnoxious. Ugh, but now I have to go change my profile table too, because I don't have a drew barrymore theme anymore. That's what I get for just haring off like that.

ETA: Nope, can't do it, I don't like this one at all. Until I figure out a sidebar that works, this is going on the shelf.

It's always hard to figure something new out *g* Which layout are you using?

Also, y'know, I think if you switch back to S1 then it goes back to your old layout if you didn't change anything in S1? Although S2 is shiny once you get used to it!

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Yeah, um, I think I'm going to keep the old layout for awhile longer while I figure this new one out. I DO NOT WANT CUSTOM COMMENT PAGES AND I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET RID OF THEM, also in this reply you won't be able to see the text because for some retarded reason it's the same color, I cannot figure the why's or wherefores.

Which layout are you using? I might be able to help.

To turn custom comments off, go to Customize Journal, Customize Your Theme, and in "Presentation: Basic Options" change Disable customized comment pages for your journal to "Yes".

Woohoo, I'm using a modification of mixit by thefulcrum, but I've shelved that until I have more time to figure out the sidebar bullshit. Ugh, the sidebar frightens me.

I seriously breathed a sigh of relief when my old layout popped back up, but when I do get the new one working, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP. I hate custom comment pages. Especially since mine were ucky.

[dea-liberty.livejournal.com]

I know how that goes. It took me hours and hours to figure mine out and I wanted to stab things with pens and other sharp objects. But, I think I'm starting to sort of get the hang of the whole CSS thing so if you decide to switch again, let me know if I can attempt to help :)

I guess the only thing I want to know is if it's possible to put images in the sidebar. In S1, I just made a table, and bam lookey, images, BUT NOW. I made graphics that matched my header and everything, so I would like to use them. *bitter tears*

[dea-liberty.livejournal.com]

It is possible. Depends what the codes inside are, but you stick them where the sidebar code is. And sometimes, you have to stick them in more than one " (like in my base coding, you have to stick all html between triple "s)

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Sticking them in the codes for the sidebar breaks the entire layout. I'm not kidding you. But triple "s you say?

[dea-liberty.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Stick in the normal image html but instead of just "code" it has to be """code""" and it'll come up as the picture rather than the actual code itself. At least, it does with mine.

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Ah you see, mine does not make the code appear, depending on where I stick it, it does not appear, or it turns the entire thing into a cray mess that is impossible to navigate.

[dea-liberty.livejournal.com]

Is yours a new layer entirely or do you use the custom CSS box? Can I maybe see the code?

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

This is it above. (http://community.livejournal.com/thefulcrum/7877.html#cutid2) ()

[dea-liberty.livejournal.com]

Hm. It's a completely different type of code to what I work with. >.> I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea how most of that one works.

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who looks at it and is like WH-AT?

Anyway, thanks for your help, lovely.

Custom comment pages suck. I hated having them on my journal and was prepared to switch back to S1 until someone kind helped me learn how to turn them off, too.

I think that your current header / sidebar is really pretty, for the record, but don't give up on S2 themes if you are really jonesing for a change! There are some nice ones in there. ^^

[magikalrhiannon.livejournal.com]

I love the batman header though. beautiful.

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

I really like the header too, but I want to be able to put images in my sidebar like I currently have. And it's not letting me.
