Requests?
With the positive feedback on my other layouts, I thought I'd get some requests from you guys. Do you need/want to see more user info layouts, character profile layouts, icons, or journal layouts? Is there something in particular you've been looking for and haven't been able to find? A certain color scheme? Something more masculine? Something specific (like a military inspired layout or a specific actor/actress)?

I'm most familiar with S1 Generator and S2 Bloggish layouts for journals, but I'm willing to try anything at least once. So whatever you'd like to see, throw it at me, and I'll see what I can do for you!

Well sans-serif fonts help. I think with positioning. I tried once but my override skills need a lot of work. Some things I wanted to do with it:

1. Make the entries generally taller than they are wide. I wanted content boxes to have margins between top and bottom and be only about 600 pixels wide.

2. I wanted to mimic the entry number code I made here, but instead of entry number have it be the number of tags and have the MARVEL be the button you click to comment. Of course you could make it say other things than "Marvel", but I'm a mega nerd.

3. I was going to put the date in a bordered box at the top left hand corner with the format
1
MAR
But for some reason when I was modifying generator it just wouldn't work out left aligned.

4. I wanted large Subject font. Probably in something Fantasy Family, like Impact.

Also it would be nice to be able to set a background image and a header, but I'm not stuck on that.

	okay. I'll see what I can come up with. This will definitely take me a while, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know, right? I was ecstatic when I saw this because I JUST looked at her layouts & fell in love with them. LIGHT HAS SHONE DOWN ON rp_tutorials!!! LOL. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I just wanted to share, and let you know I've made some progress. As soon as I defeat this annoying quirk (icons keep disappearing in some journals. It's very o.O, and I can't figure out what's going on), I'll generalize all the coding so it's easy to customize, make a version with a header image, and post the code.

Unfortunately, you can't guarantee the entries will always be longer than they are wide. I tried defining a minimum height, but it did this weird thing where it shifted everything in the entry box to the middle, instead of aligning it top, and it looked odd. Still, I hope I'm on the right track.

	Awesome! Can we center the date text in the box? Otherwise I think it's super cool! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure! I had it centered originally, but my friend who is more of a comic nerd than I am wanted it left aligned. Back to center it goes. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sweet! When this is done, I'd like to feature a link to in in my icon journal and then maybe Affiliate? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds good! I'm almost done with the coding now. I just have to fix up the code with the image header and put together the post. I'll get you a link when I'm done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
