The FAQ

[alapsuscalami]

I'm attempting to reorganize this journal, so here it is... the FAQ. I couldn't think of a ton of questions, so if you have any or if you think of any that would be useful on this page, just comment and let me know.

Hi darling! Erm, I don't mean to be a bother, although it is very entertaining, but how did you get those links? Like, you had the question and the link took you to that question on the page.. You know. I would love to know, if possible. Hee.

But everything is very neat and organized and lovely. Of course. =)

Oh! It's actually really easy - here's an example with the first question:

1. <*a href="#program"*>What program do you use to make your icons?<*/a*>

And then the question answer further down the page is coded like this:

<*a name="program"*>Text text text text text.

You don't need to close the <*a name*> tag - or, at least, I didn't.

Hope that helped - I'm not the greatest at explaining things (hence this page), so if you have any other questions, just ask, of course. :)

Oooh! It did work! Thank you so much, dear! Lovelovelove. :D

I just wanted to say thank you for this post and all your work. I've wanted to start making icons and have only made a few before my computer was reimaged and lost the photoshop on it. Now I'm going to try out GIMP and I also am trying out new fonts, which I never knew how to download and install until I saw your post. Thank you so much. Oh and I'll be "friending" you so that I can see all your gorgeous work.

*Grins* I just wanted to thank you for this comment - it definitely made me smile. Good luck with your graphics! :)

[ceci_coeur_erre]

No need to thank me, it's the truth. You really helped me out when I had insomnia last night. Ha. And thanks for the luck, I'll need it. I'll definately still be checking out your icons and such. They are too great to pass up.

[ceci_coeur_erre]

and that was me above. ooops.

...Okay, I feel like a huge dork, but I'm not 100% sure on something.

I know what hotlinking is, but it seems that when you upload an icon to livejournal from a separate URL it actually reuploads to livejournal itself. Checking the URLs of icons in peoples' userpics page confirms this.

Does "hotlinking" icons onto your livejournal account/userpics list actually leech bandwidth from the iconmakers?

[bluebellflames]

No, that's fine - it's just when people post stuff in entries or their userinfo or on a separate website that it becomes a problem.

Great question, though. :)

Awesome; thank you. :)
