I decided to try my hand at creating code for S1 Tori Amos layouts because people are always looking for them, and there don't seem to be any out there!
Instructions for Installing the Layout (Read CAREFULLY!):
1. These layouts are used in the S1 style system using overrides in a language called CSS. You paste the overrides which I will supply in the
Modify Journal page.
2. In order to use one of the following layouts, you MUST comment here saying which one you are taking, and you MUST credit
her_midnight in your user info.
3. Please do NOT modify the code without my permission.
4. Before pasting the code into the
Modify Journal page, you must change all the links from
midnightsnack04 to YOUR USER NAME. If you do not, the links on your journals will go to my personal LJ. It can be simply done by pasting the code into Notepad (Start>Run>Type in "Notepad") and pressing ctrl+f (the find command).
5. You must have a website defined in your user info. If you don't, the navigation links
(userinfo/archives/friends) will NOT show up in the journal. Don't ask me why...it's a weird quirk of LJ.
6. The headers provided are currently being uploaded by me at my University website. They might be taken down at anytime, so I suggest you upload it to your own image server (
Photobucket, for example) and change the URL in the code.
7. In order for the layout to work, your settings must be like the screenshots I will supply you below.
Alright, now that the formalities have been addressed, I've created a "Lust" layout and an "Indian Summer" (Edit: I incorrectly identified the song, nothing has changed except some of the titles so it matches the lyrics from the song that's on the header) layout. They are using headers that I have previously made, but I will continue to make more once I have some more time.

Your modify page MUST look like the following:
EDIT: I have put all of the code in text boxes, seeing as converting the carrots to partentheses was not very user friendly. All you have to change now are the NAVIGATION LINKS and the link to banner to your own image server. Sorry for the confusion!

If you have any questions at any time, please comment here with your question. Any question is welcome, because I know how hard this is when you've never done it before.
My one stipulation is: Don't give me your password to your LJ account, or offer to give it to me.
I hope you all enjoy these. More are on the way!
**If you would like to suggest a layout subject (picture, song, etc.), I will give it a shot. I am still currently taking requests for the time being, but the popularity of these are like I am anticipating, I might have to cut down on the number of requests I take. But don't let that discourage you from asking!**
