Customization

Well... I've been studying the FAQ some... which of course is absolutely against the tech-head code of ethics. It appears that there *may* be ways to actually make this thing look like my journal and not just like someone else's who happens to choose the same style. By that I mean there might be a way for some customization while still having a free account. (i.e. being as I'm still not back to work from my accident I can hardly afford to take on another expense even a small one. Gotta buy a car with what I have left and I'm not finding much in my price range.

Ok... The other option is to have a paid account make my customized style sheet and then let it revert back to a free account... according to the (techheadically unethical) docs once I have the style set up, it will stay that way, I just won't be able to modify it unless I pay again... and if I change it to something else I won't be able to change it back.

I believe that there is someplace here that I can modify my template by hand though like I can on blogger and that's what I'm looking for. On Blogger the bLog's template is on one of the MAIN TABS. However There are definitely features I like better on LJ than blogger... and I am also dismayed that now I'm starting to get spam in my comments... how this guy juicyfruiter was able to post a comment on every blog in the universe saying "I read over your blog, and i found it inquisitive, you may find My Blog interesting. My blog is just about my day to day life, as a park ranger. So please Click Here To Read My Blog" What bites is before I started finding it in other blogs including ones associated with the Dionaea House I actually thought he was some guy who just didn't use the word inquisitive right, so I went and read his blog... thought it was interesting, bookmarked it... but now I'm wondering what the point was in the spam... O_o

Uh... anyway, I'm off track. Sorry, not feeling so swift today... so I'm a little more disassociated than usual... the point is that if anyone knows how to get to the template and modify it by hand, please COME UP OFF THE INFO!!! *snicker*

Spectral Analysis

Hmm... well this takes a while for the little bitty graphic to load, which I don't quite get... but anyway, kind of fun. I think when people who have done this little thing look it shows me on the right, and you on the left as influenced by me... something like that...

Just doing a little more testing

Ok, now I know that there are people who have more than six avatars here... I only see the ability to have 6... is there a trick to that? griffin_rider? Anyone?

(ps griffin_rider... what do you think of my boobie modification? *snicker*)

I figured one thing out

I can set a default userpic, and it will show up all the time on my front page... but if I select a different one for a post, that's the one that shows up in the comments... I don't know what happens when someone else looks at my page... and I'm still tryign to figure out the customization options. Guess first I gotta find a style that looks at least moderately acceptible... and then try to figure out how the overrides work.

Pirates?

Damn you classic1st... I didn't want to fill up my blog with stuff like this... hahaha... but I wanted to see who my people ended up being... and the results were amusing. Cheapcarnival is my daughter so how appropriate is that?

I edited out most of this table. (I left the link to do the test though) I did this partly because of display problems I was having with it. Also, the only thing I really cared about posting was the funny stuff showing who was who on my ship. I'm particularly amused that cheapcarnival is the bumbling
cabin 'boy'. Also that griffin_rider is the first into the fray, and that while lj user="evilwildlex"> is the naval officer who ruthlessly pursues my ship, she is also in Davy Jones' locker, so I don't have to worry about her too much... unless it is her ghost that pursues me and my piraty goodmen. ^_^
