Layout Information

• Available for FREE and PLUS and PAID accounts. Hoorah!


• S2 - Flexible Squares


• Need to have somewhere to host your images


• Crediting is love and please link me to your journal once you've installed your layout so I can see how it looks :)


• Feedback from people using IE7 or Safari encouraged as I don't have either browser so was unable to test how it looked on either of them.

Download the images zip file from {here}
Download the txt layout file from {here}

Part 1 - Upload your pictures to your chosen image host (I recommend using LJ's Scrapbook if you are a paid user) and make a note of the urls for each image as you will need them later on.

Part 2 - Prepare your layout file

• Open up the file in notepad or similar


• Replace every instance of YOURURL.HERE with the URL of that image file


• Save

Part 3 - Add your theme
Step 1
Go to Customise Journal. Make sure the S2 radio button is checked. Click on 'Save Changes'.


Step 2
Click on 'Look & Feel'. In the 'Layout & Language' section choose Flexible Squares and in 'Themes' Default Layout. Click on 'Save Changes'.


Step 3
Click on 'Custom Options'. Change the sidebar position to 'Left'. Click on 'Save Changes'.

Step 4
Click on 'Custom CSS'. Copy and Paste your amended txt file into the big box. Click on 'Save Changes'


Problems?
I can't promise that I'll be able to solve your problems but I'll try. ;)

wow this is great! I am an older LJ-user (since HS) but new to true customization. I am certainly going to check this layout out (and hopefully you won't mind if I study it so I can make my own!)

I really recommend catonage and s2flexisquares if you're looking into making your own layouts for Flexible Squares. Both are frankly brilliant resources.

[lostrack621.livejournal.com]

thank you thank you thank you. I will certainly check these out!! :)

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

As is the tutorials on the_lj_reboot. I do love a good tutorial, me. :D

[vanessadeanne.livejournal.com]

I got it to work!! Very cool layout. First time I ever changed my layout and your instructions were great! Thanks.

Incredible!

[lillilynn.livejournal.com]

This is so more than fantastic!

I'm new to Livejournal and it may take me a while to get this installed but I will so credit and link when I do and that you SOOO much for this!!!

Just installed

[lillilynn.livejournal.com]

Just installed the layout. Thank you for the idiot proof instructions. I had no problem and it looks great!!

Hoorah! If anything on the layout starts doing anything weird, let me know and I'll take a look.

[goshdarnheck.livejournal.com]

Wow! *mem'ing for later use*

This is fantastically done. May I ask how long it took to create?

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

A very, very long time. Woes. Hopefully, now I've done one I'll be able to knock them out in less than eight or nine hours.

[goshdarnheck.livejournal.com]

Eight or nine hours? Whoa, good luck.

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

Now I get the whole coding thing that should be a lot more straightforward. it's the doing the graphics and making it look pretty thing that takes all the time.

Thank you so much!!! I LOVE this layout. I have a ten/rose mood theme, and I just needed some more nine love. I put credit to your in an entry and on my bio. But I was wondering if there was a way to change what the comment links say? But if you'd rather I didnt change anything thats fine.

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

There's nothing coded into the CSS so you can change the comment links via the customisation wizard.

[shinjuyuki.livejournal.com]

yeah thanks, i'm just not used to S2. I used to have all that changed in the custom box. I've found the stuff now

I love the layout and want to use it, but the header won't show up and the background remains black, no matter what I do. I believe I've followed the instructions and the URL's are correct. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I really want to use this layout.
Thx!

[akainagi.livejournal.com]

Got it! I loaded up the style sheet externally and just linked to it. Something was being messed up in the cut and paste process. Looks great!

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

Glad you got it sorted! :D

[padfoot619.livejournal.com]

Hey! I took the layout, and it is b-e-a-utiful! Thanks a lot. However, I think I'm going to change the images, if you don't mind. I just love the layout style (but I also love Chris ♥). Thanks again.

[lostwolfchats.livejournal.com]

Hi - I've used your background (http://lostwolfchats.livejournal.com/) and have credited you. Thanks for this - it looks amazing!!

I seem to have a really big black border, don't know why, but still really pleased with it!

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

The border is because the width of your layout is set at 700 pixels otherwise the header wouldn't fit neatly with the sidebar.

YEARS AFTER THIS POST WAS MADE I feel the need to let you know that I ADORE this layout. It's beautiful, and I will credit when using&herats;
