Now I know most of these recs are like "well, duh" and this is no exception, but I'm gonna rec every story in my desert island notebook, so if you've read it already, just hush and go read it again
( Read more... )
Okay. First of all, did you get the Word file titled LJ and HTML tags, that I emailed to you on January 27th? If you scroll down in that document, you will find a photo of a shocked woman. Immediately above that it gives the instructions for adding a photo to your lj entry. If you can't find the file, I can resend it for you, as it is very useful.
Now, what it didn't tell you in that file, is that the urls in Scrapbook will not work in an lj entry unless you remove the last 3 digits: eg
This is your url for your Due South icon. While in your lj entry, you need to copy and past that url, delete the /g3 and add the html code required to insert the image.
eg: : < img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/ladyra/pic/00002bt7" > Note the space between < img... and " >. This is only so you can see what I have done. Remove the spaces, then when you are ready, hit preview and your icon should be there. Fingers crossed.
LOL. I've been looking madly through your photo gallery on your LJ for a picture of a shocked woman. LOL. I'm better now. Thanks. I'll go give it another try after I finish writing Don and Charlie having sex. LOL.
I understand entirely! When ts5000 gave me that file and showed me how to display pictures/icons in an lj entry, she conveniently forgot to tell me about that deleting last 3 digits bit! And that was after it had taken her ages to figure out why it wasn't working. I think she did it on purpose... bestest friends are dangerous!!
I did it, I did it!!! Thank you SO much. Really. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help. And I even used your basic guide to get your name done up right on my latest journal update, where there are four new icons I just made. Yay!! I feel like I won the damn nobel prize. Rodney would be mocking me.
