→ Why was my membership request rejected?
Because you either use an empty LiveJournal, do not use any icons or do not give credit to the icons, banners, layout, etc. used. I will also not accept those who apply for membership via Facebook or Twitter.
If you were banned from the community, it probably means that even though you have been rejected multiple times for failing to meet the community's criteria, you continue applying for membership. This leaves me no choice but to ban you as I do get tired of continuously rejecting the same person over and over. You can contact me via message if you have any enquiries about this.
→ Why can't I view the community entries even though I've been accepted?
Perhaps you did not watch the community after joining it. I remove members whose accounts have been deleted on a monthly basis, so if you used to be a member but had deactivated and activated your account, please send me a message or join the community again.
→ How do I upload and credit icons?
If you are using the icon(s) as a LiveJournal userpic, copy the image URL such as in below:
After copying the URL, click here. This is where you can edit or upload userpics. Paste it such as in below. You can also edit the keywords. The important part is the comment, which is where you will have to credit me or bluebraid. Just replace 'tressebleue' with 'bluebraid'.
Click 'Proceed'. Your end result should look like this:
→ How do I upload and credit banners?
Save the banner as 'bluebraid' or 'tressebleue' so that you will remember to whom it belongs to.
Upload it to an image hosting Web site such as such as Photobucket, ImageShack or TinyPic. The latter and former are more efficient if you just want that one banner URL.
After putting up the banner onto your LiveJournal, copy and paste the below either in your LiveJournal Profile, or under the banner itself (wherever it is).

→ How do I upload and credit graphics for a Web site different from LiveJournal?
If you are using the icon or banner for another Web site, save the image as 'bluebraid' or 'tressebleue', so that you will remember to whom the icon belongs to.
Upload it to your own server or an image hosting Web site, such as Photobucket, ImageShack or TinyPic. The latter and former are more efficient if you just want that one icon or banner URL. After uploading it, copy and paste the below to the Web site where you are using it.
