Spring design update
Friends,
you often asked for an opportunity to express your creative side with the Air design style. So, we're proud to report that it's done! Now you can tune up your blog design to reflect all that's dear and interesting to you! Let's have a look!
New blog design features
The main page of a blog using the Air style can look like this:
What features are available to blogs utilizing the Air style:
- Set up a blog cover (select one from the pre-set range or upload your own image)
- Update the blog description (to engage new readers or help search engines understand what your blog is about)
- Pick the best way to tell about your audience (show the number of subscribers, the total audience number, or show no numbers at all)
Don't hesitate! Spring demands a new look (for a blog as well).
Spring update: instruction
Step 0. How do I start?
First of all, you have to enable the Air blog style on the style settings page.
If it's already on, you can begin - the settings page is right on your front page.
Step 1: Updating the visuals
In the settings you can upload a new cover, pick one from the roster, or hide it.
Selecting a cover and a userpic is now way easier
You can upload a new userpic or pick the main one from those you uploaded earlier.
Step 2: Getting to the point
Here you can update your blog description and change the header.
Step 3: Tell everyone about your audience
You can also decide what blog stats will be displayed in the description. Now there are 2 options available for blogs:
- Total number of journal entries
- Blog audience - here you can show the total number of subscribers and friends, or show your monthly average from LJ statistics; by default, subscribers will be displayed (if permitted by your privacy settings).
Communities also have an option to show the number of participants.
Press Save, and it's done!

With love ❤️,
