RP profile with icons
07 July 2011 at 08:11 pm
I created a version of the RP profile using icons instead of
a large image.
1) Copy the generic code below and paste into your character's profile.
2) Fill in, add, remove, or rearrange the information as you like.
3) Replace the imgur links with links to your character's icons.
4) Choose the symbol you like best from the list below or find your own and replace the ✚ if you prefer.
5) Change color by replacing #707e8d with any
other color.
No need for credit! Look at
Link's Profile for an example of this in use. Let me know if you have questions. Enjoy!

Firefox 4 / LJ Login
04 March 2011 at 06:31 pm
It's apparently in the plans to make a new version of LJ Login that's compatible with Firefox 4, and I don't blame the guy for not working on it right now when Firefox 4 is still in beta -- but if you're using the beta, or
would be using the beta if not for the loss of your beloved LJLogin, I uh hacked it a tiny bit. (Editing the version number was easy; figuring out which item to give a background color, now that everything is transparent by default, was trickier.)
Download here! The official version is now out!
Here!Again, this is just for people using the beta, but it should be compatible with Firefox 4's final release...
should be. (I'm so glad they added back in the "addon bar", which is where the LJLogin shows up.)
ETA: Scribbld support now also fixed. This is apparently in the works for the official 2.1.5 release, buuuuut until that comes along...
Helpful Tools

Hi all! Just wanted to link to a post I have been working on, which lists a few helpful tools and tricks that people can use to make RPing easier. Things like LJ Login, Texter, Tab Renamizer, etc.
Both newbie and veteran players alike can take something away from this, I hope, so without further ado: enjoy!
( Helpful RP Tools, Tips, & Tricks )(This fake LJ cut leads to the page on my Touma journal, so that I don't have to redo a dozen comments to repost it here. XD But feel free to comment on either post!)
ETA: Fixed the cut. Thanks, Haunt. I fail. OTL
Relationship Meme HTML
16 June 2010 at 01:55 pm
Want to bandwagon on your relationships meme with some silly pretty HTML? Step right up! (Clever text mostly courtesy of Kay, HTML mostly courtesy of me.)
// friends //
best friends - [above all others]
close friends - [sharing secrets and dreams]
friends - [laughing together]
on good terms - [our silver lining]
friends by association - [a smile passing by]
BONUS: A less mean version of {{ where the heart isn't }} for kinder characters:
worthy of attention - [item of intrigue]
fear - [you bring the night]
envious - [the lonely truths]
skeptical - [nursing private doubt]
discordant - [can't seem to see eye-to-eye]
surface - [easy to mistake for sincerity]
avoidance - [isolate the problem]
dismissal - [passed over like a shadow]
Feel free to add to our categories or adjust them as needed; if you come up with an extra category you really like, link in the comments! :3
Customizable Layouts
23 July 2009 at 11:22 am
ETA on April 5, 2011: Hey, people. :D FYI, I am still totally available to answer any layout questions you might have! I've edited the code provided below to try and help people avoid a mistake that seemed very common, sob, and also just for consistency because some of my font sizes were in pixels before. >>
These layouts will look best with at least one image, provided by you! First, a header graphic -- and second, optionally, a tiling background image (
this is a fantastic resource).
1. Go
here, and set your Style System to S2.
2. Under Layout & Language, choose "Complete Style" from the dropdown menu. Leave your Theme as "(Default Layout)".
3. Then...
Bordered
One Column | Header Image-Compatible | Title/Subtitle Compatible

And...!

Tiny Icons For Your Layouts
21 July 2009 at 06:02 pm
A small set of tiny icons by Sarah-Dipity at DeviantArt, to replace the ones that show up on your journals. Use them with the layouts I've made, or any other layout. I think they're adorable, personally.
PreviewUser Icon:
Community Icon:
Private Journal Entry Icon:
Protected Journal Entry Icon:
Paste this into your
Custom Stylesheet box:
ETA: Oh, and yeah. I obviously credited Sarah-Dipity in the code there, so don't remove it if you use this set. X3 These are her icons...! I in no way claim credit for their awesome applicability to any layout.
Multiple Icon Uploading
18 July 2009 at 11:44 pm
Edit: Also check out Li's option in comments. Which also gives you the steps for saving the icons from your current icon page.Upload multiple icons at once to InsaneJournal by:
1. Creating an account at
Journal Watcher. (I don't think you even need to use a real e-mail address, though I did.)
2. Following all
instructions for creating the uploadable .zip file.
3. Changing your journal password. (You don't have to do this. I just think it is safer since you'll have to provide it to the service.)
4.
Uploading SUPER fast!5. Changing your journal password back. (Or don't change it the first time and just change it afterward. Or ignore the password thing altogether.)
Note for Mac users: I found that making a .zip file through the Mac OS automatically created a folder and botched the process. My work around was emailing the files to my PC and doing it there, but I'm sure there are other ways and if all else fails, you can email your icons to me and I'll make your .zip file for you.
