Is YOUR journal great to look at?
Eyecandy __eyecandy is a journal rating community. We judge based on the look of your journal, including the following things:
Graphics: Are the images used in your layout, if any, of good quality? Has it been edited? If so, is the editing any good?
Colours: Does the layout feature a colour scheme that looks good? Do the colours go together or do they clash horribly? Do they match any graphics which may also be used in the layout?
Navigation: Are there obvious links to things such as user info, calendar, etc? Are they made creatively or are they default?
Originality: Is the layout unique? Did the applicant make the layout themselves? Are there a lot of similar looking layouts to the applicant's on livejournal?
Setup: Is everything well balanced? Are there any horizontal scrollbars? Are the entry boxes aligned with each other, or are they all over the place?
Design: does the layout look good overall?
Note:
You DO NOT have to have a paid account to be accepted. If you only have a simple generator with smaller boxes aligned to any side and a background plastered in there don't even bother applying.
Do not change your layout until you have been stamped! Doing this will result in rejection and possibly being banned.
So that we know you have read the rules, please put "My layout is NOT default" in the subject line! Thank you!

Your name: yogurt Your age: Nine to the teen. Your location: USA's male genitalia; aka Florida. How you found this community: I was an accepted member a long time ago, before that I have no recollection other than being a dork with layout communities. Promote our community to one other person or community. Show the link here: Oh man.. um.. lol, ok. Why do you want to be a part of this community?: I'd really like to go back to being in layout communities, preferably ones I used to belong to even though I've noticed almost all of them are dead.. What resolution should your journal be viewed in?: My resolution is 1280x1024, so I have no clue. I don't think you want to go any lower than 1024x780 because I took out the horizontal scrollbar and it might be a little annoying to have half the layout cut off on you.. not saying it will, because I didn't check. Whoops. Is your layout compatible with any other browser besides IE? (if you don't know, say as much.): I use firefox so I'm sure it works on more than just IE! Do you have a paid account or free account?: Paid, baby. Screw the rules, I have money!
Warnings: If you do not have fast connection, images will take probably forever to load. Sorry about that.. I'm trying to find a better host because its really driving me crazy. And, yes, it is anime/manga themed. I know. I'm so cool and original. 8D At least I actually took the amount of effort to color in a b&w image.. that gives me points, right? *bats eyelashes* ♥
OKAY, so.. uhh.. give me your best shot and critiques cause, lawd nose, I need them.

Happy holidays guys!
So this community is kinda dead, but I made a new layout :) It's okay in Firefox, and doesn't work in IE, which I kind of don't know how to fix.
Critiques and...help?

[Friday August 11th 12:38am 2006] |
I posted this layout a while back for criticisms (in its test phase); here it is now, still imperfect but...at least finished.
Should be multi-browser/resolution friendly, unless you are using Opera or have that little navigation strip turned on. *makes face*
I call it "Elsewhere".
ETA: I know the long divider seems to look tacky, but I am absolutely at a loss as to what to use in its place. Help?

Oh yeah, I've got a new layout :> It's been a while since I've done something bright and cute so I went for that theme this time. There's a bit more pink than I can usually tolerate, but I'm satisfied with it.
Oh, and my mood theme doesn't fit anymore :( I need to find a new one.

[Tuesday July 18th 5:43pm 2006] |
New Layout Rating Community! This one has a twist though. After you are an accepted member, you still have to re-apply every NEW layout you make for your personal journal. After three rejected layouts, you have to re-apply to be a voting member. People with the most accepted layouts are higher on the member's list, ect. I think this should encourage activity and honest feedback everytime you create a new layout. AFTER you are an accepted member, you may apply other layouts you've created. You can apply community layouts you've created, even test journals. You must apply with your personal journal first though.
I also have one or two mod positions available. It would involve stamping sometimes, taking screenshots sometimes, I say sometimes because I plan on being extremely involved with the community myself. A little help would be nice though if someone wants to play with me. :)
I'm going to x-post this to all the layout communities I'm in. I'd be happy to hear feedback on the community's layout as well. Thanks!!

[Wednesday July 5th 10:59am 2006] |

I keep looking into the S2 system and then quickly backing away... but I'd still like to know how to make an original S2 layout. I've played around with modifying Component before but I'd really like to have a go at making something of my own.
Can anyone help me out with links to tutorials or communities that are particularly good for getting started on S2? I'd be most grateful.

2: I've found lately that the navigation strip feature consistently makes my text entries skewed. I have to go through each of my test layout accounts and turn off the navigation strip feature to make the layout look normal. Does nayone else have this problem?
