Oh God! Yes, yes, yes, it worked!!! LOL! I feel like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally"!

Seriously, I can't thank you enough for your kindness and will definitely give you a shout out post on my new, shiny 'the way it's supposed to be' LJ!
Thank you, Jill!

You deserve all the thanks in the world! I do have a quick question (God, I'm awful): Is there any way that, when clicking on the subject title of an entry, it stays on the same page instead of going to the generic comment page? I don't know if that makes any sense and if you want to tell me to f--- off, I'm fine with that as well! *g*

Of course not... it is really easy...

Go to Display Section of the Customize System.

Look for the line that says
Disable customized comment page for your journal.

Yours is likely set to Yes. Change to No and save.

Thanks. This is my testing journal so I work out the kinks here.

Also, I got your other comment about the problems. I'm going to have to investigate. Sorry about the issues.

*g* Believe it or not, I did fix it (through an amazing length of time of trial and error, I admit) but so far so good. I had to "futz" around with the title and sub-title to fix it. *shakes head* I still don't understand why, when you click on an entry title, the subject title not only re-appears next to the header,but it also takes on the same font properties. Again, thank you, Jill, for your time and kindness. I truly appreciate it! Your talent is amazing!

That is a downfall of Flexible squares which is why I don't use the Title Subtitle most of the time but make a transparent image of my title/subtitle like on Layout Lounge. It works better and you can just lay it over any headerimage you have.

Okay, so I have two (hopefully the last) questions:
1. For the life of me, I can't get my user icon to show with my entries. My name is there but no user pic.
2. Anyway to get rid of the image icons for "delete, spam, screen, freeze and track this" that are under a comment? And can I delete a couple?

*g* That's it for now. *sigh* I wish I had your knowledge!

Oh well I wasn't sure you wanted the userpics so I turned them off....

Go to userpic in the coding and you will see display: none; delete that line.

The only one I'm sure you can get rid of is the Track This

#lj_track_btn_24908 { display: none; }

I'm not sure the others are removable because they seem to be a part of the Flexible Squares source code but should only be seen by you.

Jill, I don't have "display:none" in the coding. The way it's written, it should be showing. (Unless I'm totally missing something).

Oops.. forgot...

.userpic, .userpicfriends {
background-color: transparent !important;
float: right;
margin-right: 70px;
padding: 15px;
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
text-align: center;
}

.userpic img, .userpicfriends img {
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
}

Change the width and height in both of these sections to 100px or for a smaller look 70px, 50px etc

*sigh* Just did that but it didn't work!

okay so I did a little tweeking on your coding and I've posted the update...

Try replacing your coding with this (it has all your own customizations in it) and see what happens.

I can't fathom why it isn't showing the userpics but let's see if this works.

this is the weirdest thing ever! When I put in your new stylesheet, it not only took away my background image, but when friends viewed my LJ,their header images disappeared. So I put your original stylesheet back in and voila! All's right with the world! Even my user pics are showing up now. *g*

I think the problem had to do with the very top piece on the stylesheet. The original one you made has:

S2 Flexible Squares - 91. Chalkboard

The new one from today had:
S2 Flexible Squares - Custom

So every time I went to workshop-rees.livejournal.com, I kept seeing my journal page with my background image. *scratches head* very weird!

LOL! One more question before I leave you alone... The dingbar separator is centered very nicely width-wise between posts. I have my subject titles set to "text-align: center", but when I scroll down on my pages, they're not in vertical alignment. Is there any way I can have them centered under the separator?

I actually don't think that is the problem but I'm unsure what is happening.

Well that is because I have the layout in use to see what is going wrong.

Vertical Aligned? Do you mean you want them closer to the separator? I'm unsure what you mean.
