Help, flist?

[featherxquill]

I want to change my layout, I've had this one for months. I want to keep flexi squares but put a header in instead of a side picture. S2 doesn't give me that option, but I HAVE seen people with headers and flexi squares, so I wonder if anyone knows how I can do that? Would i have to use S1 or is there a way I can do it in S2?

Help! Please? *offers cookies*

No, you can do it by creating a theme layer. Your account is a payed account, right? I'll just make the code for you if you need it...

Really? That would be awesome of you! Like the height of the header or something?

And yeah, paid :)

Now I have to ask again... Do you use an external stylesheet or are you familiar with the theme/user layers in S2?

[featherxquill.livejournal.com]

I'm not, actually, I've never done it before. Is there a place in the FAQ I could go and read up?

[snapelike.livejournal.com]

There is, but I think I'll make a step-by-step list for you. It is not difficult, I just wondered if you were familiar with it, or even used it. I'll just write down how-to.

Thank you so much!!! :D

*is SO buying you a drink at Patronus*

No problem, hon.

I have to test the code, so it might take a day or two before it is ready...

And I'll probably need that drink very much! *grins*

That's fine! :D And I suspect you will.

By the way, that article/paper thing I told you about aaaages ago - I'm still trying for it. There's been no response to my letter but I know someone who knows the actresses publicists, and he's going to dig out their numbers for me. So, still hoping! Fangirl dreams! :D

Don't we all have those... *sighs at the thought of Lucius*

I wish you luck, it will be an interesting paper if you get the info you need for it.

Hah! Why work when others have done the work for you?

And much better and more understandable that I ever could have done...

Here's how you create a Theme Layer (http://community.livejournal.com/s2howto/25272.html)

And here (http://community.livejournal.com/s2howto/36903.html)'s how you put a header code into the theme layer.

If you need help just poke my LJ...

I so rule teh netses!!! I was looking for a way to put a header inside the boxes in flex-squares - I use the design for daily_deviant when I found those tutorials. They seem very good and thorough, and the way they suggest to put the header over the entries is so much smarter than the one I used originally.
