Fun Little Changes

[reidluver]

I'm quite surprised by how much we're able to change our journal layout. Look around my main page and look at all the fun changes I've made! :) If any of you have questions as to how to do it yourself feel free to ask! It's a lot of fun. I'm really going with my song obsession

Now all I need to do is change the graphic at the top of my journal.

Sure! :) All right--so first you go to your user profile, click on "Journal Style," then you should see a small box that has your theme in it, then click on "Customize your theme," then down on the left click on "Custom CSS." Then there should be an empty box called "Custom stylesheet." That's where you enter in the little changes you want to make to your layout.

Now, below is what I used, but I'm not sure it'll work for your theme, but try anyway! :) You can click on the link above in my journal for other help if it doesn't help, but I'm sure it'll work.

#header-inner {
background-image: url(THE URL OF YOUR IMAGE);
}

#header, #header-content {
background-image: none;
}

#header-inner {
background-image: url(THE URL OF YOUR IMAGE);
height: 300px;
}

As a note, BOTH urls used above must be the same. This makes sure that you replace the header you already have with the one you want. If you just do it once then you'll end up with two headers.

Now, as an extra little feature you can change the color/image of your background.

#container{
background-image: url(THE URL OF YOUR IMAGE);
}

If you want just a specific color, then use

#container{
background-color: #000000;
}

#000000 is the color code for black, so you'll have to figure out what color you want.

Hope this helps!

No prob! And uh...truthfully all I know is what I've found from other people, so I don't know how to adjust it for you. ^^;

BUT I've learned a lot by looking at this person's post here and you can find communities specific to your journal type like the one I have for Expressive/Mixit Journal Style because that's what I use. Whatever it is that you use I would suggest typing it into a search engine along with the words "livejournal" and "layout help" and hopefully you'll be able to get what you need. :)
