thanks to
knp01 I started playing with my layout a bit. wanted to change something. and that single scene deserves sooo much....
if any of you knows how to move ads from one side to the bottom for example, I'd be really grateful. need to get back to basic account because they were ruining the whole composition^^;
layout credited, need to work on it still^^

Date: 2008-05-29 02:28 pm (UTC)By judging from my plus account, it seems you can get horizontal ads by going "Journal" > "Customize journal" and then under #3 "choose a page setup" choosing "Ad placement: Horizontal". That gives a not so nice ad bar at top on my pages. Unfortunately I don't think you can get away with anything less than either a top one or a side one tough -_-
So should I do it, or leave it for your bro? Saying "shouldn't you be doing other things right now?", I mean ^^ But then, you DO need to relax sometime, so I guess it's okay XDno subject
Date: 2008-05-29 03:05 pm (UTC)hmmmm I went back to plus account and then forth to basic because I couldn't find it>< and my bro also couldn't find it. shame, I liked my 15 icons ;_;

Date: 2008-05-29 03:47 pm (UTC)Well, LJ isn't exactly a wonder of simple-to-use when it comes to settings. I still haven't understood how to find the different things. So now I don't dare to even try to change my layout ^^;
And there must be a way to get a somewhat nice layout with a plus account. You need the icon space! ^^

Date: 2008-05-30 07:51 pm (UTC)for me, those blogs and sites like DA, that already have a set scheme, are quite impossible to control^^; especially if ammount of aspects I can have influence on is limited==; so yeah, LJ is NOT my friend here
B-day attack! ^^
Date: 2008-05-31 11:47 am (UTC)I'm still only some chapters after the Allenxpiano part, so that sort of explains it. It doesn't explain why I still think that man looks more like Ravi though. Maybe something with the hairstyle ^^;;
Sites were you don't have full control are generally evil, yes. And both LJ and DA have very weird interfaces for settings I think. But don't despair. LJ can be made at least somewhat pretty even if it takes some more work than really should be needed ^^;
Re: B-day attack! ^^
Date: 2008-05-31 05:40 pm (UTC)well it's expected then, especially now that you mention is, he DOES have Rabi-sort of hair^^;
usually it takes ours to find places where you can edit the simplest things, that's what I hate. my bro's blog is on a site that, if I remember correctly, has 2 options. you either choose custom layouts, or you make one yourself. and for that you have only one window, where you type your html code. that's what I expeced from LJ but it seems that Polish sites, even i they're not so advanced, are more user-friendly==;
if only I had enough knowledge to actually be able to solve, HOW^^;
and suddenly, your icon makes me really embarrased^^; in a good way though
Re: B-day attack! ^^
Date: 2008-05-31 09:33 pm (UTC)Now those kind of options would have been SO nice to have for LJ as well! Your Polish blog site seems quite wonderful in its customization possibilities. The little I've seen of it that is. If you ask me, the biggest non-userfriendly thing with that blog thingie is the language XD
I thought you were planning on have your bro help doing the solving here? ^^
^^ I'm impressed you noticed (not surprised, but a little impressed nevertheless ^^). It's a nice icon. So useful. ^^

Date: 2008-05-29 02:39 pm (UTC)however, the layout code is bad, and i don't understand why there are so many elements in the css. needs to be repaired, badly.

Date: 2008-05-29 03:53 pm (UTC)And if I am to say something, I think you should aim for a side-ad layout anyway. It looks less bad than having an ad at top I think. (But then, I'm kinda biased since that's how I chose to have my layout ^^;) Sidebar ad and then a nice web browser that blocks the ads make for an almost clean as-you-want-it page ^^
Why does it suddenly feel like I'm spamming your LJ?no subject
Date: 2008-05-31 05:45 pm (UTC)ad at the top takes too much attention, I'd prefer to have it either on the bottom or on one side, like you said.
do you know such nice browser? it'd deffinetely help in the process
and you're deffinetely welcome to spam this place XDno subject
Date: 2008-05-31 09:44 pm (UTC)Mm, I'd say pretty much all browsers except IE can be made to hide ads in different ways. You really don't have it already?! I thought Firefox with Adblock plug-in was almost standard by now ^^; Of course, browsers doesn't solve the actual layout problem on the site, but at least it hides them from your eyes.
Oh, good to hear XD You know me and my babbling...no subject

Date: 2008-05-29 03:40 pm (UTC)Coding from scratch is always the nicest thing, but I don't know if LJ allow for that. Back when I redesigned I think I had to keep to css or partial rewrites.
ooh, look, wallpapers! XD
no subject
Date: 2008-05-29 08:45 pm (UTC)oh no, old wallpapers O_o
no subject
Date: 2008-05-29 03:18 pm (UTC)Having spent hours last night rewriting web code, I didn't even dare to look at the source code for this before. But ouch, you're right. That layout gives me headache just looking at it ^^; A mix of old and new code styles it seems. And even with all that css there's still style coding in the tags >< It needs some cleaning, yes!
