  • You can also change the header, link colors and entry title colors :)

Instructions for Insane Journal

  • Type in a Title and Subtitle
    Note: Make sure they're not too long - title should be under 37 characters and subtitle under 64 characters
  • Click Save and then go to Look and Feel
  • Choose "Bloggish" for Layout and "None" for Themes
  • Click Save and go to Custom Options
  • Make sure the Layout Type is "Two column (Sidebar on Right)"
  • Use layout's "Base Weblog" stylesheet: Yes
  • Under Custom external stylesheet URL, copy and paste this URL:
    http://gossymer.com/storage/CSS/gingerwine.css

Make sure you have a link list set up as well as tags.

Copy and paste this link for Custom external stylesheet URL:
http://gossymer.com/storage/CSS/gingerwine.css
(Pasting the codes directly will not work)

Make sure to set your links list and your tags.

Credits
I could not find a decent starter sheet for Bloggish so I asked [info]grrliz and used one of hers layouts as a base (Holiday in Vegas @ [info]thefulcrum)- any bugs you find are due to my tweaking the code till its barely the same anymore >__<

Paste this code into your profile page:


Customization Instructions
If you want to add a header and change colors
  • Download the code here
  • Open it in a text editor
  • Refer to the customization instructions bellow
  • You MUST upload the code to a web server. I use awardspace myself.
  • Follow the instructions above for IJ or/and LJ and just change the URL with the stylesheet you uploaded.
  • Adjust the credits accordingly


If you want to add your own header, add this code to the end:

#banner h1, #banner h2 {
display:none; }

#banner-inner {
background: url(YOUR IMAGE URL HERE);
background-position: top center; /* Change to whatever position you want */
background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Can be changed to repeat, repeat-x or repeat-y */
background-color: #000; /* Change to whatever color you want */
height: 200px; /* The height of your image */
}

If you want to change colors, do find/replace for the following codes:

Blue links are #007ba7
Orange titles are #E35E00
Green ljuser links are #85B800

You are free to make any changes - only requirement is to comment and credit. Oh and if you do try to customize it beyond the instructions listed, please refer to [info]s2bloggish and [info]s2_bloggish for help.
