How to change your journal's tiny icons
So if you find the icons that link to profile pages (

t_quibbler and

quibblercons, respectively) as ugly as I do, here is how you can change them!

This code transforms the usericons on your Bloggish journal layout:

You can change the image, obviously, and can change the width, height, and padding to suit if you need to. This piece of code goes in with the rest of your CSS code on the Customize Options page.

The result should look like this:

t_quibbler and

quibblercons

You don't need to credit me for the tinyicons unless you want to, if you do want to or if you're in need of journal layouts, icons, or accessories, check out Quibblercons!

If anyone has a quick trick for doing it in an entry, rather than manually linking the image and the name of the journal, let me know? :D

	You are a goddess. Thank you so much! I'll be using this. I hate those icons so much, and I found this style to take them away on all the other pages, but hadn't figured out how to change them in the journal layout. Between the style, your code, and style=mine, I never have to see the ugly orange ones again! Thanks so much! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	So, I am trying to combine the two into one piece of code that I can plug into my layout but I cannot seem to get it right. Help? Please? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The piece of code is in the entry there, in the textarea? :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeeeeesss...I am trying to combine it into the style code here: http://userstyles.org/styles/16795%22 so I can load it as one piece, but I am not accomplishing much other than making myself angry trying to piecemeal it :-) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Eek, sorry, I don't know anything about that piece of coding. It looks like it's set up to change the tiny info icons on various navigation, profile, and entry pages of Insanejournal? My little bit of code just applies to the Bloggish layout style, so that if you use Bloggish and look at your friends page, it changes the tiny info icons beside your friends' journal names. Sorry for the aggravation, but I'm not 100% sure how to put the two together.

	that's okay, I appreciate the comment I will keep futzing around with it and searching...but at least the journal page doesn't have the ugly buggers anymore (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Question, I'm working on a new layout and I'm wondering where you get the mini icons from? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The two I used in this sample, I made myself, and they're in quibblercons. You're welcome to use them, please rehost. There are lots of great ones out there though, this set is amazing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you, I meant in general but yeah that might not have been all that clear but thanks heaps for the link :D (Reply to this) (Parent)
