hey! :D wazzup?

so, anyway... i upgraded my LJ into a sponsored+ account.. sooo it screwed up my layout 8D soo when i tried HTMLing it again, it wouldnt follow the code.

my friend says it's because the code used is designed for free accounts. and, basically, i cant HTML to save my life ;-;

can someone give me a basic.. umm "skeleton" of the HTML thing for sponsored+ accounts, and point out what part does what?

thanks in advance, guys :heart:

Your friend is wrong, because it doesn't make a difference if you have a free or plus or paid account-- HTML is HTML, regardless of what account it's on. There is no such thing as code designed for only a free account.

If you could, post your overrides and a link to your journal. If anything, your layout is screwed up because of the integration of the advertisements from upgrading to the plus account.

^ omo? o_o? i got lost >.>;;;;

really? hmmm. ```` ads >.>, anyway, my LJ is at >> here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kawaii_shuai) i fiddled a bit with the S2 stuff so i kinda lost my code .____.v;;;;;

Well, looking at your LiveJournal, it appears fine to me. What exactly needs to be fixed?

aheh... 8D; well, it does look fine... but i want to customize it... as in, with HTML and all. yet, when i try using the HTML skeleton i got from another forum, it wont come out properly [as in it remains in the default layout and doesnt follow the code]

x.x

I'm a little confused because you mentioned S2, but were talking about overrides before. For your journal, are you going to use S1 or S2? Because each one has a way of going about customization differently.

S2, I don't know a lot about, but I can try to help you. S1 is what I use, and I can help you get overrides together for things if that's what you decide to use.

LOL sorry about that :D i will explain.... i originally used S1 before i upgraded my account. when i did upgrade, i decided on changing my layout but the s1 doesnt accept the code i use, so i resorted to s2 for a while so my layout would at least look decent 8D

ummm and i kinda prefer s1 8D [sorry for confusing you ;_;]

Well, switch your journal back to S1 and if you could, post the overrides you were using that wouldn't work, please. Something might have just gotten screwed up that prevented them from working.

If you don't have them anymore, you can tell me what overrides you're looking for and I can try to compile them for you. :)

ah, i lost the overrides ;-; umm i'm not so sure, but the overrides [of a pre-made layout i got on another forum] that did work had the "table" "tabletable" things in them...

pardon my being vague :D and thank you four being so helpful <3

The override with table and table table is the table widths override, which is this:


<!--
/* change these numbers, make them add up to 100 or less*/
table {
width: 50%;
margin-left: 25%;
margin-right: 25%;
}
/* don't change these numbers */
table table {
width: 100%;
margin:0;
}
table table table {
width: 0;
}
>-->


If you can think of anything else you want, I can help you find them.

oh my lord O////O!!! **lost**

i dont know what each table thing does ;_______; i cant html to save my life DD:

<!--
/* change these numbers, make them add up to 100 or less*/
table {
width: 50%;
margin-left: 25%;
margin-right: 25%;
}

This top portion changes your entry boxes. The width is how wide you want the actual boxes to be in relation to the overall width of the page, and margin-left and margin-right position it as close to the left and far from the right, or far from the left and close to the right, as you want.

/* don't change these numbers */
table table {
width: 100%;
margin:0;
}
table table table {
width: 0;
}

These ones you don't have to worry about-- they don't change. :)
>-->

thank you <3 but where exactly do i insert them into the code itself?

Okay, assuming that you're still using Generator as your style, you have to use this code for the plus account:


GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--
/* change these numbers, must add up to 95% or less*/
table table {
width: 45%;
margin-left: 25%;
margin-right: 25%;
}
/* do NOT change these numbers */
table table table {
width: 100%;
margin:0;
}
table table table table {
width: auto;
}
-->
</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD


Again, change only the 45%, 25% and 25% variables. It does the same thing as the other code I gave you, except this one is made to adjust to the ads running on the page.

To put this into effect, go to Manage, then customize. Once you've clicked on Customize, the page should have four tabs that read "Basics," "Look and Feel," "Custom Options," and "Advanced."

Click on "Custom Options," and then paste the code into the text box below it, click the "Save Changes" button, and it should be put into effect! :)
