Doctor Who Layout: Donna = Shipper

[maniacalshen]

I have a new layout to share. Brighter than my usual ones and my first attempt at Smooth Sailing. I call it, "Donna = Shipper." Here's the thumbnail:

Glad you like it. :) As to changing fonts, just look for any place I have

font-family: tahoma, verdana;

and change the tahoma to arial. As to black text, the only black I have on here are the mood/music/location section and the color of links when you mouse over them. ::looks at your journal:: Okay, what the hell happened?! XD Something must have been miscopied or messed with in your journal; it looks alright on bubbles234's. Your text is black for some reason, and the mouse-overs don't change color. And you're missing the red background color. Let's see what we can do. Does your code look like this in the beginning?

body {
background-color: #720a09;
font-family: tahoma, trebuchet;
font-size:10pt;
color: #a5714c;
}
a {
color: #f5f3d0;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover, .userpicfriends a:hover font {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom:2px groove #000000;
}

a5714c is the tan the text is supposed to be. 000000 is the black the mouse-over is supposed to be. If it's all copied alright - no missing brackets or semicolons! - it should work right unless you have other options changed in your journal somewhere. Do you have "no" chosen in the two drop-downs above the "custom css" field?

It does look like the problem is in that "body" section, though. Let me know whether that helps you get it working or not.

Hmm...mine looks exactly like yours and I have 'No' chosen as both options on the dropdown.

I tried changing trebuchet to arial, but it has no affect.

You can't just change trebuchet to arial. The way that command works is that it tries the font that's listed first, then, if the viewer's browser doesn't have it, it tries the second font. So, yours should say,

font-family: arial;

That should be safe; who doesn't have arial? ;)

As to the rest of the problems... I'm not sure what to do. I won't ask you to trust me with your info so I can just go in and fix it, though I wouldn't mind doing so if you were comfortable with it. You could change your password before and after or what have you. As it is, you could screenshot the custom css menu or copy your code here, and I can troubleshoot it that way.

It's truly bizarre it doesn't like my code; I copied and pasted it into the .css directly from my own journal, and it works for bubbles, too! I'm really sorry for the trouble. :(
