#68 - Beautiful Emptiness

May 23, 2009 18:09

I'm back! I mean layout-wise. I have a new layout for you guys. It's something different, so I do hope you like it.
I went a little crazy with the colours. Some shemes I like, some I do not, but I left them all so you can pick your favourite.

Boys, sorry, again not a really boyish layout. I'll try next time!

Description Name: Beautiful Emptiness Description: Grunge and elegance combined in different colourshemes. The background is a rough texture, soften with flowerish brushes and a lace finish.

General Information Layout Style: Expressive Tested in: Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer (Looks best in Mozilla Firefox) Best Resolution: 1024*768 and above Account Levels: Layout works with all account levels (Basic, Plus, Paid). [ How to change add orientation] Works with Navigation Strip: Yes [ How to enable/disable] Credit:

Lace border was purchased at Renderosity from vendor macatelier
Floral brushes by aka-joe

Credit to me is implemented in the footer of the page.

There are different ways to install the code. I'll sum all the possibilities up.

OPTION 1: My link

Custom external stylesheet URL: Copy and paste the link to the chosen colorscheme's stylesheet (see below)
Custom stylesheet: Leave empty

OPTION 2: Your link

Click the link to the chosen colorsheme's stylesheet and copy and paste this code to an empty notepad file
Save this file with the extension .css
Upload this .css file to your own server (e.g. webs.com, awardspace.com)
Go back to your LJ wizard and continue using the instructions bellow
Custom external stylesheet URL: Copy and paste the link to your stylesheet uploaded to your own server
Custom stylesheet: Leave empty

OPTION 3: CSS box

Go back to your LJ wizard and continue using the instructions bellow
Custom external stylesheet URL: Leave empty
Custom stylesheet: Paste the code you just copied

Hit 'Save Changes'

Images & Code The images and code are uploaded to my own accounts. If you want to avoid bandwidth getting exceeded it is recommended to upload both images and code (see options 2 and 3 above) to your own servers.
If you upload the images to your own account, don't forget to change the URL's in the code!

IMPORTANT NOTE!:
The background image is one huge graphic with a resolution of 2000 X 1120 pixels and a size larger than 1Mb.
When you upload to your own server, chances are that this server will resize your image. If you have a free photobucket account, size of the graphics you upload are limited to 1Mb.
Here are your options:

Upgrade your photobucket to a pro account
upload to another image-server, like imageshack
If you have a paid LJ, you can try uploading to your scrapbook
You can upload the image to webs.com or awardspace.com
... ETC.

And of course, if you don't feel like doing any of the above, you can still use the image I uploaded for you :).
