HOW TO FAKE LINK
1) you need a tiny icon! You can get some pixel ones here or some bigger ones here. Or something like here.
16x16 px is the best size. You can also find some on livejournal. Like here and here or a list here . We are going to use by minty_peach.
2) Have a link ready! I will just link to RP Tutorials.
3) Your code looks like this currently: <lj user="rp_tutorials"> and produces rp_tutorials
4) Change The Link and Image! <a href="http://asylums.insanejournal.com/rp_tutorials/profile"><img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/14l20pt.png " border="0"> </a><a href="http://asylums.insanejournal.com/r p_tutorials/">rp_tutorials></a></b>
and this produces rp_tutorials.
5) Change The Color! IJ has its own color scheme. But if you add <font color="333333"> right before the name of your link (in this case rp_tutorials) and close it with </font> between the link A HREF then you will have a different color. Like rp_tutorials.
6) Quick Code!
Replace:
PROFILE URL with the link to the profile
TINY ICON URL with your link to a hosted tiny icon (no hotlinking remember!)
JOURNAL URL with the link to the journal (just http://journal.insanejournal.com/)
FONT COLOR with the hex code (six letters/numbers that make a color) for the color of that font you want.
JOURNAL NAME with what you want the link to read.
HOW TO FAKE LJ-CUT
We all know what LJ cuts look like! (if you don't know what one is then go here and educate yourself please). But what if you don't want to collapse part of your entry and just link elsewhere, but make it look uniform? FAKE CUT LINK.( THIS IS A FAKE CUT )
To get one: <b>( <a href="http://asylums.insanejournal.com/rp_tutorials/profile">THIS IS A FAKE CUT</a> )</b>
Code:
The same things apply, if you want a font color to change the color of the text area, you can do that too.
