thank you but i am not really out for promotion. there are almost 900 members in my community and it happens on its own. i do no promotion whatsoever. and i dont really care to have 349870983 members. there are other communities out here where they do allow editing to their layouts. and credit is the reason why i dont allow editing. i know there are people who def. DO credit no matter what but there are even more who would see "you can edit this layout" and comeletely steal everything.. and thats not cool.

but that is also why from time to time i let people request things and have suggestion posts where people can tell me what they would like to see on layouts as far as images and style wise. and if people really seriously like a style of a layout but want to change something.. they can email me and ask me. chances are if you ask i am more likely to say yes.
i wasnt trying to be a bitch about this whole thing in any way though.

and yes i do actually make most of the backgrounds myself. i have a very good program on my computer that lets me draw nice images for pattern backgrounds. sometimes i use backgrounds that i dont make (but not very often) and i always credit where i got them from. (with the exception of the very last lj layout i posted because i had the image saved on my computer for a long time without the website it came from.) when i get images from other sites i write where they are from as my credit to them. but if the images are on a site where people specifically say they dont want them to be used, i dont take them.

hm, you are right. saying "you can't stopp it anyway" is not a good argument, i suppose ;) anyway, thanks for being so kind to allow alterations if someone mails you. i will definetly come back to that. because i don't like to request stuff, no solution would ever match my strange ideas of what it should look like XDD

which program do you use for backgrounds? i'm curious because i love this background <333 i always tried to figure out making backgrouns with ps8, but it is pretty complicated... if you programm is better i'd love to know which one so i can download it from somehwere :D

that is one of those backgrounds from the batch i told you about where i had the images saved on my computer from a long time ago without the link of the website.. (those 2 flower ones are the bg's that arent mine) i just edited it so it was more pattern like and fixed it to repeat & flow smoothly (the way i had it saved.. there was no pattern in it, and i believe it was a piece of a fabric design.. it was just a bunch of flowers.) the program i have i could definently draw something like that but is really time consuming.

anyways the program is Nova Development Photo Explosion.
