Re: header

[sireesanwar]

I totally can! I will be posting a new entry with explanations of the coding I'm giving you in it. It will be a small crash course in Header Coding.

Let me know if this isn't what you meant.

Hi, I really hope you can help me. I've cruised around all over the place and haven't been able to find a tutorial or help page addressing my problem.

I'm using 3 Column in my personal journal. My problem is the three little buttons below my username (below my default userpic). How do I get rid of those?

This was an interesting challenge.

Hi! I was looking for a wintery Supernatural layout. I like the style sheet I have now, but I was wonder if you could help me a bit. I like the way my LJ is laid out ,but I want more blue in it instead of green and a header that is winter-ish and Supernatural-ish all at the same yime. THANKS!

[sireesanwar]

I'm guessing you want the text color of your layout to change because it is really dark and very hard to read? You like the black and dark gray tones you have though right?

Supernatural as in Sam and Dean or do you prefer one over the other (see my journal at sireesanwar)... other characters? Do you have any images you really love? I might have to outsource the image which isn't too much of a problem... though I might be able to do it too.

I'm better at figuring out the layout.

[angi_is_altered]

Yes...I like the dark tones, but I would like a tiny bit of blue in there.

I would love a header with Dean,Castiel,Sam, if you can manage it.

THANKS A BUNCH!

[sireesanwar]

Okay. I'll see what I can do.

Hi, I was hoping you could help me please. If you look at my layout...http://moof-mum.livejournal.com/friends/. All is fine, until you have to go back previous entries and all of a sudden the post column becomes really thin. Do you know what I need to change to get it all the right size? thank you!

[sireesanwar]

I think I have it. I hope this works because I tested it and it seemed to work...

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAGE SET-UP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
.bodyblock {width: 700px;}

.pageblock{width: 100%; margin: auto;}

.pageheaderblock {text-align: center;}

.header-menu, #footer-menu {background: #FDE5CD; border: 1px solid #FBBD81; color: #FFA751; padding: 5px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 7pt;}
.header-menu ul, #footer-menu ul {margin: auto; padding: 0;}
.header-menu li, #footer-menu li {display: inline; padding: 0 10px;}
I think the only reason the first set of pages is that big is that their are images keeping it that wide. As you can see I changed the body block width. This should keep it the same as your header links

thank you so much for your help. It's been driving me nuts. When I copied and pasted you text box in it made the layout disappear...so I went back and put the original layout code in there and it was fine. I changed that originally cause the instructions for installing the layout said too, which I was thought was weird as I'd never changed it before. thanks sooo much!!! Merry Christmas!

[sireesanwar]

Well sorry for not being clear because I mean for you to only replace that Page Set Up section of the layout coding. Sounds like you replaced the whole thing. Awe well... my bad.

I'm glad you made it work though.

Merry Christmas!!!

No idea how to perfect and post the graphic as a header to my journal, or to make the look work for the l layout. WARNING: a few other haphazard questions may folliow.
