Layout FAQ

[deluminators]

There are a few questions I'm asked on basically ALL my layout posts, here they are with the answers. I'll add to this as time goes on.

On the page where you paste the CSS, have you set all the drop down boxes to No?
And is the layout you've selected Foexible Sqaures?

[snotkisser]

yes to both your questions :(

i used one your layouts. something strange happened.

it's like the paragraphed text in my entries are uneven and curls underneath my icon. but the paragraphed text in my friends page is perfectly straight and lined up. even if i set the font to it's original default nothing happens. if i'm not making any sense, i'll try to print screen the problem.

it's not a big deal but if you could help me out i'd appreciate it. :)

edit: here's some "screen caps", i hope it helps.

how it looks on my "recent entries" page
how it looks inside an lj-cut

That's really weid :|

The only suggestion I have is to look for the 'padding' bit under the '.entry {' part, and replace it with this

padding: 15px 15px 15px 145px;

What that's doing is pushing the entry text over a little, so it shouldn't 'leak' under the userpic anymore.

Hope it works.

ah it didn't do anything. (oh nuts!) > : /

it's ok though, no biggie. :) thanks for the layout anyways. i'm gonna still use it.

is there any way to get rid of my userpics without making the layout look funny?

[deluminators]

For the layout you're using;

In the .entry part, replace padding: 15px 15px 15px 130px; with padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;

Replace the .userpic section with this
.userpic {
display: none;
visibility: hidden;

I have a couple of questions regarding your LAKESIDE layout :)

First, I'd like to know what I need to change to make the comments that my friends have posted in response to my entries larger. The tiny font is a bit hard for me to read. I'd like to have it the same font size at my entries if at all possible. I tried changing the font px under Entry Stuff - Comments, but that only seemed to change the size of the font for the comment links on the main page of my journal ( which I'd like to keep as the small size ). Also in the comments section, is there anyway to keep my friends icons from not sitting flush against the edge of the comment box as well at not having the text start and finish flush against the edge as well?

Last question. On my main page, what do I need to change to get the space under the header ( where the links to recent entries, friend ect ) are to match the same space that appears between the last entry on my main page and the footer?

Many thanks in advance for answering my questions :)

Sorry, none of my layouts have customised Comment Pages, as I don't use Sponsored or Paid accounts.

To move entries lower down, go to the #maincontent section and change margin-top: -10px; to margin-top: *number of pixels you want*px;

I'm trying to use one of your old layouts. Anyway, I'm kind of a LJ tard so where do I paste the 'topbar codes'?
Don't worry, I will credit use of the layout.

Next to the part where you pasted the CSS, there should be a bar of links. Click 'Sidebar' and paste it into the 'Blurb' section.
