Hi! You posted a comment over at my journal asking me to comment about your icons.....

I like the coloring you've used for them and the Rupert ones are very cute. I hope you don't mind but I do have a suggestion for you: You should probably number your icons so it's easier for people to let you know which icons they're taking/liking/whatever. People are sometimes lazy buggers and they don't like counting themselves. Do you still need help with cross-posting? The easiest thing to do is just to post a link to your journal to a community with a couple of preview icons. Let me know if you still have questions!

hmmm number them eh? i actually never thought of doing that. but could you give me a tid more detail on the cross-posting thing? im not sure i understand

mediocrechick March 25 2006, 02:45:00 UTC

OK, one way to do it is this: copy and paste your entire icon post from your journal to the community post. So basically, you'd be posting all your icons one community at a time.

The other way is: you post all your icons at your journal. Then when you post at a community, you take a couple of sample icons from your journal post (like a preview to what's to come), and include a link to your journal using this: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=67 If you want to cross-post to different communities, just copy and paste what you wrote from one community to the other (just change the preview icons to match the community's theme).

Is this making any sense whatsoever? I know it was hard for me to do this when I was just starting out in LJ too......if you're still having problems, check out the FAQ page on LJ. It really does help.

okay i think i understand but i'll check out the FAQ page just to make sure. thanks a mill. you were a huge help

hey i've seen your commment on tifil_monaghan s'Lj I dunno what's happening with your photobucket account it's strange , maybe you should take a look at your "account option>user information" and check if "direct linking" is "ON".but you can also create a blog at Imageshack it could be a solution to your problem...I've added you to my friend list by the way , i've readed your profile and I love that you love , I've started to read your LJ too and I'm going to love you too lol ! I think you're adorable (I've not found email address so I've written that here .. i'm sad because i can't see your icons ! big kisses and hugs ^^lool

dust_in_the_air March 26 2006, 14:17:33 UTC

thank you very much XD. yes i will go check out my accoutn options thing and if that doesn't work i'll do image shack. i'll definatly be adding you as well because its always great to find another person who loves the same random things as you! and i have a few icons ready to be posted and hopefully they'll work longer than a day so you can see them. ex oh ex :)

mrs6 March 26 2006, 18:32:56 UTC

Sorry, would have responded sooner but I had a lot of comments to catch up on.....

Do you have a free account with Photobucket? If you do, it's more than likely that you used up your bandwidth for the month and they turn your pics into those annoying thingamahjigs from Photobucket. If you have the money to buy a premium account, you should....but if not, it's better that you do smaller batches of icons or delete old icons as you make new ones. You could, of course, use other free photo hosting sites like ImageShack or supload but they're not ideal for icons because uploading them is a bitch (sometimes you can only upload two images at a time) and it's no guarantee that the pic will continue to be hosted at that site if it uses up too much bandwidth. Am I just babbling or is this making sense to anyone besides me? Hope it helps......

You can email me at mediocrechick at livejournal dot com, if you need more help. TTFN!
