Installation
Go to Manage:
Customize
Select a new Theme:
- Check the box next to 'Only show themes available to me'
- Type 'Expressive' in the Search box
- Click search
- Apply any theme that you get in the search results
Choose a Page Setup
Choose '
Text' from the menu on the left:
Change the text for the comment links to something shorter so the whole bar fits in one line. This is not absolutely necessairy, but I just think it looks better!
E.g.:
- Leave a comment --> Reply
- 1 comment // # comments --> {1} // {#}
- Edit entry --> Edit
- Edit tags --> Tags
- ...etc
Choose '
Sidebars' from the menu on the left:
- Display of tags in sidebar: List
Choose '
Custom CSS' from the menu on the left:
- Use layout's "Base Weblog" stylesheet: No
- Custom external stylesheet URL: Leave empty
- Custom stylesheet: Paste the codes (given bellow) in the box
Hit 'Save Changes'
Images & Code
The images are hosted on my account, but it is recommended that you upload them yourself. Don't forget to change the URL's in the basic codes!
Step 1: Basic Codes
Bellow you can find the basic codes for the layout. Paste these codes in the "Custom stylesheet" box:

/* ----------------------------- PASTE THE CODE FOR YOUR CHOSEN HEADER UNDERNEATH THIS LINE ------------------------------- */
/*==========================================================================================================================*/
Step 2: I use the Navigation strip
If you want to use the navigation strip, you will need to make a small change in the basic code.
Find the following portion of codes:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 280px;
}
and replace the bold, blue part with the following line:
margin: -45px auto 0 auto;
Step 3: Choose your header
- Option 1: Use a premade header
I have made a total of 20 headers using quotes you guys suggested in this post.
To use one of these headers, paste the following code at the BOTTOM of the basic stylesheet and paste in the URL of the header you want!
#header-name, #header-description {
display: none;
}
#container {
background: url(URL OF YOUR HEADER) no-repeat top left;
}
20 headers
In a reverie
It has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet
Without freedom no art
There is grace afoot in the world, and it will find you
History puts a saint in every dream
Life is too deep for words
What does the winter bring, if not yet another spring
Just breathe
Colors follow the changes of the emotions
What fools these mortals be
Beauty in the breakdown
Garden of everything
Welcome to my universe
Never ending dreams
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you land among stars
Love and let the rest go
life's a color spectrum
I shut my eyes in order to see
Live for today
Into my starlight reverie
- Option 2: Display your LJ title and subtitle
I'm not really a fan of this option, because it doesn't look as pretty... {Live Preview}
But because some of you asked for it, you can forego the option of a quote in the header and make it so your journal title and subtitle are displayed at the top. To do so, paste the following code at the BOTTOM of the basic stylesheet.
Extra image on top of basic images:
base.jpg
#header-name {
padding: 80px 0 0 0;
}
#header-name a{
color: #00C1E0;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 4.0em;
font-family: georgia, serif;
letter-spacing: 0.2em;
font-weight: normal;
}
#header-description {
padding: 0 0 0 40px;
color: #F7AA10;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 2.5em;
letter-spacing: 0.2em;
}
#container {
background: url(URL OF BASE HEADER) no-repeat top left;
}
- Option 3: Create your own header
- Download base.jpg
- Download the font "Bleeding Cowboys" here
- In your favourite graphics program, open "base.jpg" and use the font you downloaded to type the text of your choice
- Apply a gradient over the text (45°) using these two colours: #F7AA10 and #00C1E0
- Save your image, upload it and then follow the instruction written with "option 1" for the headers
