Hahah, ok, so I've been staring at the word "Strong" for so long, I've had to spell check it twice, because it started looking completely wrong. I think its funny when that happens. O-or when you say a word over and over again, and it loses it's meaning...


ANYWAY! This is the theme I just finished for [livejournal.com profile] tsuyoisyao I'm sort of on a spree right now, cause I'm also halfway-done with a new theme for [livejournal.com profile] toadwart as well. (lol, I hope you like blue Becca =p)




1. Go to Customize Journal.

2. Under "#2 Select New Theme," type in FLEXIBLE SQUARES in the search field.

3. Select APPLY THEME under any of the given options.
*Blue Gray is the FLEXIBLE SQUARES default, but it really shouldn't matter which one you select.

4. Select CUSTOMIZE YOUR THEME in the upper-right box field. (Or you can also select the CUSTOMIZE button beneath whichever FLEXIBLE SQUARES theme you've just chosen - either way works. *MAKE SURE the green "Apply Theme" button underneath has turned into a link that says CUSTOMIZE.)

5. Select CUSTOM CCS - it will be the last option on the left sidebar

6. Change all drop-down options on this page to NO.
*There should be three of them.

7. Copy/Paste this entire code into the CUSTOM STYLE SHEET field. Make sure not to put any spaces or anything in because it'll break it. =p



8. Save Changes. And you're done!

*The CCS code I gave you only changes the look of your journal, none of the text. You can modify many things to your liking by just playing around with the options in the CUSTOMIZE YOUR THEME area. Just roam around the sidebar on the left. But it is all quite user friendly.

If you have any problems at all, or any other questions, just lemme know!

Oh, and if you want, I made this icon to match your theme - cause I like making matching icons. Feel free to use it if you like!

I appreciate the layout again, I really do. I followed your instructions word for word and when I view my journal. It's just a plain white page. Where did I go wrong?

Sometimes the site is touchy and even when you select Flexible Squares... it doesn't really select it. =p That's my best guess to what's going on - you might be editing your old layout you'd been using earlier.

Here is a screen shot of what "step 4" should look like before you can move on.

*You don't have to use the Black and White and Red All Over. But it has to be one of those selections or it's won't work D=

If you're in Flexible Squares and all three of drop-down boxes in the Custom CCS area are selected to no, you might try deleting the code and resetting the theme to default. Then just try it again and save.

Hopefully that should work... if it doesn't, lemme know and I'll see if I can figure it out.

And make sure all the boxes are selected to no.

I hate causing so much trouble, but, it's still not working and I did exactly as you said.

Oh! Ok! It looks like all of the code did not all get copied. That's an easy fix.

Thank you for the screen-shot! I'd have been wracking my brain a while on that one! =p

Ok. Go back and right-click inside the bordered box back in the instructions, and you must "select all" and then either ctrl-c, or right-click and select "copy"

Then delete what's in your CCS section right now and either ctrl-p or right-click and select paste.

The code is pretty long and will look like a bunch-a jibberish really =b But it should work now! I-I hope anyway!

I'm so sorry about not fully copying the layout. I feel like an idiot now.

♥! YAY! I'm glad it's working for you! I was starting to get worried I'd done something dumb and broken it along the way. It's been known to happen! =p And don't feel bad! It isn't like you could see how big it was. Silly text boxes anyway!

I'm just glad you got it to work! I should learn to explain things better. My instructions aren't super-good anyway. Please let me know if there is something you don't like, or have questions about something. I'll do what I can to help you however I can!

I can still make it look more "twilighty" if you like! Anything you want love! I-I was kinds just going with what came in my head. I can do something completely different if you like, too.

Haha, I think it's so strange when that happens. I always end up questioning myself after a while, "is that really even a word?" hahah.

Awww I really like this theme. It's my favorite one from you that I've seen. The colors are well chosen, as are the images. The border around the title is a bit thick though. Other than that, it looks amazing. I think it's wonderful that you make lj layouts for people personally. I make layouts too, but they're more for the general public, and I have to guess what people like. I'm not that motivated as I used to be though. Maybe I'll start taking layout making requests like you? That way I'll know the people who use the layouts I create, and I'll know what they want. It'll make the projects all the more important and helpful. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you very much. It's one of my favourites as well, so far! I am trying to bet better (and faster) at making them. Eventually I'd like to be good enough that I can make a community to share a bunch of them. 'Cause that might be a nice thing to do, I think.

I only recently started making them for other people. (haha cause I've only recently gotten comfortable with CCS. Before I'd always played with layers, which is sort of a backwards learning process, really!) So, I'd only really made them for myself. All the one's I've made, have all been for people on my f-list who've gone "I think I want a new layout" at one point, and I've pretty much voluntered myself. 'Cause I like doing them. Except for this one, actually. They found me out and requested one, which is pretty cool to me! =p I like personalizing them though - espectaially if they have something specific in mind. A picture. A Phrase. =p And it gives me a place to start.

Good luck in making your own! I hope it goes super!well for you!! ♥♥♥♥!
