Inhabitant Of North America Announces Intent To Dick Around On The Internet

[koganbot]

Decided finally to fool around with my lj layout and stuff. Let me know if, say, the type ends up being too small or too big on your browser, or the style, in your opinion, "just isn't Frank."

I approve.

And wow, you have a lot of fucking tags.

[koganbot]

Tags are all about marketing!

[edgeofwhatever.livejournal.com]

Or is marketing all about the tags?

[koganbot]

(Actually, your lj is a lot better looking than mine.)

Well this is like my ninth layout.

[koganbot]

I'm struggling with this one, but on a quick look-through none of the other layouts they offer seem likely to be better. Does one have to know CSS to get a good layout?

(They say that in this layout I can change the order of the elements in the sidebar, but I've yet to see how. I would rather Taylor were on the top and the tags at the bottom, though I suppose you would say that this is a reason to be grateful for the layout's inflexibility.)

There are people who write & distribute custom CSS code; you can use the CSS exactly as they wrote it, or tweak the code & "Customize Your Theme" options to get exactly what you want. For example, I used this as the template for my current layout.

You should be able to change the order. What element did you put Taylor in -- the blurb? Go to Customize Your Theme > Sidebar > Ordering and change the order so that the blurb (or whatever you used to get Taylor on there) is on top.

"Ordering" doesn't seem to exist as an option. My theme is Minimalism: Crimson Valley. Under "Customizable Sidebar Contents" for a list of layouts that includes "Minimalism" lj says: "Except for Disjointed and Refried Paper, these layouts also allow you to change the order of modules in the sidebar." I think lj is lying.

Hm, yeah, I'm not seeing it either. I have no idea, then.

AKinCLE: I like the new format, Frank, but on the Mac that I use at home, it just displays as a nice maroon/oxblood/whatever color with a few white lines, and outlines where the video-embeds are. (I am on a different, more modern computer at this time.) I was looking at your tags, and was disappointed to find that "Francis Bacon" and "freestyle" were two different things.

AKagain: also I see the Art Institute of Pittsburgh ads. i wonder if they have a fashion course where you design clothing with orange and green belts...

the giant comment-numbers are good, they usefully emphasize an essential feature of koganism
