I've spent the last few days making a new layout and header. I was deeply sick of the horrible browny-yellow. In case you don't know - the header is Aeryn from Farscape (brushes mainly by Tere I think - they've been kicking aound on my HD for a good while and I can't get the site to load). Now I just need to make a proper default icon to go with it. It's very, um, pink - probably because I got bored of altering the colours and decided it looked ok with the pink bits left on it. The template's by [livejournal.com profile] pamelajoy based on [livejournal.com profile] ignited's, and you can find it here should you wish. I think it's all a bit bright but I'll see how I get on with it. I forget how much work a new layout is, especially when I'm a complete dunce as far as coding etc is concerned. I like things to be nice and automatic!

ETA: Hmmm... The comment pages seem to be fucking up if I'm not logged in. Bizarre. How do they look to you? Are the threaded replies indenting and are the 'reply' and 'thread' links a normal size?

Did I ever say before that I've been watching Desperate Housewives? Well I have and I'm enjoying it.

Aeryn rocks! I love the colours - very easy on the eyes.

Re: your question about the comments pages - the threaded replies are indenting, but the "Reply Thread" and "Reply Parent" fonts seem larger than usual...

Thanks! I do love Aeryn!

Hmmm... I thought as much. When I look at it signed in it's fine but when I'm not the fonts are larger than usual on those links. The title bar to each comment is indented but not the text itself. Bizarre. Must be something to do with the code which I know next to nothing about!

Your icon is great!

Well, the "reply to a reply" function seems to be working, even if the font is strange!

Your icon is great!

::hearts:: yours too. So many, and all so prettiful.

the comment stuff is a little strange. The reply links are rather large, and the thread replies are not, in fact indented, but the header for the reply is indented. but if that's what it wants to do *shrugs*

I LOVE the header!

Who knows what's going on! It looks fine for me. Very strange...

Thanks! I saw those promo pics of Aeryn and knew I had to have them as a layout. And I've even got a bit of Aeryn/John in there.

LOVE the header! It's wonderful. I've been meaning to somehow aquire/make an Aeryn header/layout myself

Thanks! I don't know why I've never had a Farscape layout before.

Gorgeous header! It's going to be weird getting used to these colours around here, lol, I'm so used to Sirius and Remus, but this layout makes it worth it.

The code must be a bit weird with the indentations and font size thing. Hmm. Wish I knew how to help you... :(

What size and font are you using on your links list? It's very pretty. I want to steal it. :)

Thanks! I think I'll miss Sirius and Remus before long though.

Yeah, I don't know what's wrong. I've had a look at peoples journals and it seems everyone who's used this code as a base has the same problem. It's annoying as it looks fine to me when I'm logged in!

Links list - the font is Verdana and the size is 7pt. Here's the chunk of code with the spacings etc:

.columncontent {
background-color: #F5E1E1;
border: 2px solid #93A7BD;
padding: 2px;
font-size: 7pt;
text-align: left;
color: #Ba827F;
}

.columnitem {
font-size: 7pt;
background-color: #debda5;
padding: 3px;
margin-top: 5px;
color: #b98f82;
border: 1px solid #93A7BD;
overflow: visible;
}

Ha, we're gonna have semi-matching layouts again. This looks fabulous, I like the colors, they're very soothing. Nice to the eye. :)

Yay for semi-matching layouts! Thanks!

So I've been messing around with the tutorial and my layout for a little while now, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to center my default user pic over my links column, like you have yours.

*bashes head against wall*

Any idea how to do it?

*sheepish smile* Never mind, I just got it. :)

*prances away*
