Cam&#39;s Corner of the World

What kind of layout would you want? S1 styles (with all the html and all) are something I can't do, but if it's something S2 (boxer (like mine), opal - based on other people's base codes), I could swing it.

From:

What do I have currently? I suck at this stuff soooooo badly. Hmm, S1 style, since I have various links plastered at the sides?

From:

You're currently using S1--if you want to make use of tags and such, that only works for S2 (which also allows paying users 30 links on the side, and people who know how to play with layouts can add extra links through theme layers and such). If that helps you any.

From:

Ah, I see. Then I guess S2 style will be fine. I'm not really fuzzy.

From:

Yeah yours is currently S1 style and any editing is done by html completely. Or there are free layout communities like

lj_layouts but they're usually pretty teenybopperish where you can c&p the html and just use as your own layout.

S2 is what I use (boxer style),

velocityofsound,

briasoleil (component style),

itsatapewitch (opal style) use (for example). They're easier to edit because they're usually editted on already existant codes. For example, mine is an edited version of

aeval's code that she made public.

From:

Oh fuck I suck with lj tags.

Here's an example of opal after it's been editted -

ignited

From:

Oooh, I like that later one. Lovely heading too.

I guess what I want is a header graphic a bit like that, with colours fitting and all and links to my various pages. Think you could do that?

From:

I definitely could but it would take me some time. If you want this done within the next week or so, I'm not your girl.

ignited is the one who made the original edits to the opal template so I'd be using a variant of her codes.

I can do all the coding on my own layout and then while I'm doing it, send you the link to the layout and you can tell me what adjustments you want to the links and colors and anything else. And I'd need to know if you have any colors you'd prefer and what you'd want on the header picture before I could start. And your email addy so I could send you the links to the layout while I'm doing it/editing/updating it and when it's final, I could send you the txt file with the entire code for the layout as well as how to implement it on your own journal.

But as I said, I definitely can't make any promises time-wise.

From:

Oh, there's definitely no rush. I'm a slow-paced gal myself. My current layout ain't going anywhere.

I'm thinking blue tones for colour and a Norwegian landscape with the sea, maybe with some small images of various interests fused into (a little CSI, possibly). I could find some various pictures you could pick between, whatever you liked. I don't have taht much an eye for what will look great.

I'd wub you forever.

From:

I see other people have volunteered as well so I'm not sure if you still want moi. I'm definitely up for doing it if you want something like

ignited's layout. Anyway, my email's chlorofluorocarbon@ gmail.com, and if you could find pics that you like that would be an immense help if you still want me to do it - but as I said - it would take me some time, a few weeks most likely.

From:

Sent an e-mail.

There's always layout communities for the HTML-deprived like you and I.

From:

True, but I'll need someone to make header graphics too, cos I suck.

From:

fondued-jicama.livejournal.com

I'd need exact plans, but I probably could. I have Gimp, and that's almost as good as Photoshop. Just thought I'd offer. ^^

From:

Thanks - I sadly suck at exact plans, though. I feel graphically impaired.

From:

What do you want, anything in specific?

From:

As I said above *points up*, something with Norway, maybe using some pics from here: http://photobucket.com/albums/y64/MissCamilla/?sc=1 with some text on. Maybe a little CSI thing too, I don't know. Me, not graphical imagination.

From:

I can do something in either Boxer or Generator, take your pick. (you can look at my journal, see if you like that).

From:

Your journal is all white and angry red x for header. And I don't know the differnce between the two since I'm an idiot.

From:

Why is it all white? You should see a huge grey border on the right and a dashed border on the bottom..

From:

Probably because IE is assy. I tried Mozilla and saw it fine. I was looking for a little more adorned than that, though.

From:

Errrr... happen to catch the layout before this? The Kiefer/Badboy one?

From:

I remember that he was hot... *thinks very hard* God, my memory is like a Swiss cheese. They should just declare me senile already and give me my pension.

From:

it kinda looked like this.

From:

Hmm. I gotta admit, I adored the opal style

hadria pointed to, so I think I shall avail myself of her. Thank you muchly for the offer though and if I decide to change something yet again, I may shamelessly come crawling to you :P

From:

falena

Can't offer any help...you know of my handicap...

But I wanted to squee because you're getting a Norwegian layout!Cool!

From:

Yes.

I've fallen in love with this picture.

From:

falena

I fell in love with it too.
Where in Norway exactly is that paradise?

From:

Northern Norway, coastline. Where I was born.

From:

falena

Aw, lucky you!

This is my fave place here in Ligury.

(Because I have to be proud of my homeland too ;P And we do have some pretty coastline too, only it's quite different from what you have!)

From:

Very Italian. Lovely light.

My hometown, Tromsø:

Lovely!Very dark and mysterious...is the light natural?*gapes*

This is what you can see from my window (on winter *grin*)

Normally it's just green with loads of olive trees swaying in the wind...

From:

Oh, you do get snow. Neato. Odd with some many stone/brick houses - ours tend to be wooden.

Yes, the light is natural. Northern light, baby.

That's too wonderful for words...

And yes, we do get snow, but only once in a blue moon because I live on the sea, the Mediterranean, *baby* ;P

From:

:P:P I got the Atlantic, *toddler*

From:

falena

As long as we don't get into politics I think arguing about who's got the best country is pointless...When Teh Fuckwit enter the picture, though, I can just bow to the Norwegian superiority and weep :(
