LJ style info - VERY USEFUL

[timepiececlock]

Through some strange twist of fate, the dude who came up with the Components format for LJ (who is not a Buffy, anime, or Rashaka fan) randomly commented on my journal, talking about it.

This kind of thing normally doesn't happen to me, but it did, and I count it quite fortuitous.

Anyway, he came up with a set of instructions for Addition customizations for Component, including:

-line spacing
-adding additional boxes (components) for either an image or more text

It's very useful. I'd also reccomend reading the post comments; they should help clarify as well.


For my own, I created a second text box. It's over on the right. The first box has lyrics from 'Another Horsedreamer's Blues' by Counting Crows. The second box is an original haiku I thought up to test the space. I kinda like it so I'll keep it for a while.

what doesn't seem to be possible is to separate them and change the order. All of the text-boxes end up going in the place where you put the first.

Ah, well, that's alright. (Like your Haiku, by the way)

Since the
's are what you have to use within the text boxes to break the lines, and since the for italics work too, I'm hoping that you can also do the 's in there as well. So, new link boxes! WEEE!

At least, that's my theory. I'll test it out this afternoon.

I don't think your link there works, or the thig you were trying to type with " 's " didn't come out.

Ah, yes. In my excitement, I forgot to change the carrots into parentheses. What I was trying to say was that since, in the new boxes, you had to use (br)'s to indicate line breaks, and (i)'s for italics, hopefully (a href)'s could also be used within the new text boxes to create links. That way, you could create new link boxes, as well as new text boxes.

At least, that's my hope. I'll play around this afternoon and find out for sure.

I also asked you what the "Welcome" in the subject line was for. I haven't joined any new groups recently, and wanted to make sure you didn't think I was someone I wasn't.

That's all! :)

you said thank you, in your first comment. :)

I'm fairly certain you can.

Aha! Mystery solved! See, you were saying "welcome to the community/group," rather than "you're welcome for the favor/info."
Some mornings my brain just doesn't work the way it should.

Cheers!
