InsaneJournal Cascading Style Sheet |

LiveJournal Cascading Style Sheet |
| *Remember, the Cascading Style Sheets only have the name of the images but no direct address to show them in your journal. You must upload them to a server or file storage and replace them into the css to get them to work.* For Paid/Permanent AccountsIf you wish to have tags, extra textbox and metadata function to work in your journal, please click here for code. ImagesIf using, please don't hotlink. Upload to another storage online, try photobucket or imageshack. Optional the zip file includes: a html file with css and images. Note: The link will go to Megaupload. There is a 45 second wait to non-members. CreditIf you keep the image in the layout (logo), then it isn't necessary to have a link in the sidebar. However, if you wish to remove the the image then I would appreciate it. QuestionsIf you have questions, please ask in comments. I'll try to get to you. If you are not part of InsaneJournal, please leave a name so I'll at least know who you are. :) NoteIf you see a staggered gradation in the images in your layout, which might result from your computer saving the images as .bmp only, I learned from carriep63 that it is most likely due to the need to clean out your temporary internet files. | |

I can calm down now. :)
Honestly, I do try to add codes for paid users as an option because it's like the first thing I look for myself (I love the tags) but I always start layouts thinking like a free user.
Free text boxes, I really don't use so I didn't think about them but when I have time I will try to add that in the post for codes to add.
tfl? I suck on shorthand.
