I have a bunch of Livejournal questions. Sorry if these are annoying and do nothing but clog up your friends page. :p ( Read more... )

1. Some people might be using a built in blog feature with their photo hosting site, like flickr.com. You can post a photo to LJ via flickr and it formats it for you (blogger does it too). Or you can learn HTML and do it manually, or type your entry up in something like FrontPage and fiddle with the formatting, then copy and paste that as your entry (I think that would work. I've never done it).

2. I think the layout scheme you use determines if there is a calendar. I didn't do anything to mine to get it. It's just there.

3. I don't think you can have a different icon appear with each new post you make. However if you friend yourself, when you view your friends page, you will see the icon that you chose for that entry.

As someone else said, it's part of the layout scheme you choose. I know, for instance, that metawidget's layout allows you to see each of the icons.

Yeah. I'm thinking I should have just kept my mouth shut as I obviously don't know what I'm talking about :P

You know, most of this is probably answered in the FAQ, which is probably more helpful than what I told you. LJ has a built in photo thingy too, which I never use.

Alright, here's one that might help. Use the scrapbook feature which can host photos if you have a paid account: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=246

See, this is why I didn't go right to the FAQ. Other people did the work for me. :p

I guess I'm more of a "learn how to help yourself" kinda gal. It's the librarian in me.

2 & 3 are options in the S2 style. Right now you're still using S1 (at least that's the way it seems when I look at your page)

1 is an html question. You have to align the text and the picture (so, if you want the text to the right of the picture, you align the picture left and the text right).

Alternatively (and this is my favourite option), you can use tables. I love my tables.

Tables?

Tables are overkill!

2 and 3 - I could build a theme for you if you want. I'm just too lazy to do it for myself, hah.

1. align=left or align=right in the same <> you put your image.

Does "align=left" go before or after the rest of the stuff that goes in the brackets?

after. :)
