FAQ
1) I added your community, but I still cannot see the layouts! Chances are you did not join the community, you only added it to your friends list. To join, click here. You may also need to re-login in order to see the layouts.
2) How do I install your layouts? Simple :) At the top, mouse over the word manage, and then click on customize. If you are about to use one of my S1 layouts, make sure that Old System 1 is selected from the drop down menu. If not, select it from the menu and click change. Then click on modify journal, and this will take you here. You will see four drop down menus. Select which ever style I have said my layout is made for...for example, if I said style: generator, then select that from all four drop down menus. Go down and you'll see a chart entitled Custom Theme. Click on the radio button that says Custom Colors and erase everything in the chart (then, if I have provided any custom colors for you to put in, do so in the appropriate space). Scroll down to where it says Style Overrides. You will see a textbox there entitled overrides. Put all of the codes in there. Then scroll down and click Save Changes. That's it. If you are using an S2 layout I provided, or a paid account style, instructions on how to install it will come with the layout.
3) I want to use one of your layouts for paid accounts, but I have a free account If that is so, then the only obvious thing to do is to get a paid account.
4) May I share your layouts with other users? If they are not members, then no. Make sure they join first.
5) What if I want to change one of your layouts? Go ahead, but I will not do it for you. If you change it make sure you still credit me for the coding.
6) I want to learn how to make my own layouts. Where can I learn overrides? A good place to start is howto. You may also want to try __ask and everything_lj
7) I used one of your layouts, but it looks weird and misaligned Do you have a default icon? Check by going here. Try checking the radio button for no default icon and see what happens.
8) My navigation links and header don't show up! You need to specify a website in your userinfo in order for them to show up.
9) Can I request a layout here? Not unless I make an announcement saying I'm requesting layouts. Try going to layouts_for_lj.
