friday & LJ layout

[hellziggy]

My first long friday since switching my schedue for school... Not gone insane yet...

I've been playing with my journal layout because I was getting bored with it and LJ had added the Vox styles. So I picked the one I liked but it didn't have enough options in the customize. Mainly in font choice and size. It was a titch too small for my liking because I keep all my monitors at max resolution. 
I've found one now that I like. It has a tags list. It has the skip forward/back links at the top (always a good thing because I read entries from bottom to top) The theme I picked has a black background w/light text which I prefer to the opposite. There are clear line delineations between each entry. The user pics don't affect the text alignments. 
So many things I didn't realize I wanted but now have. 
I'm going to wait until I'm home though to start tweaking the colors, font sizes, etc.

A lot of those features sound great. I'm not very computer savvy... would you mind sharing the specs so I could try it out in my LJ to see if I like it?

From the Live Journal dropdown menu choose Manage then Customize. This link should get you to the same place: http://www.livejournal.com/customize/style.bml
The layout I picked was called 'smooth sailing' and I've got the 'midnight' color theme as my starting point.

Thanks, I'll check it out when I have a little time.

Yeah, I played a little bit and like what I have so far. I'm using 'smooth sailing' as well, though I picked 'starry night' for the color theme and I may eventually tweak it some more. Thanks again!
