FAQ

Having trouble with a layout? Not sure what you should do? Wanna know a quick question? Please look here for something that may answer your question. If none of this helps you out, feel free to ask wherever possible (not in personal journals or through AIM please!).

Q: I can't see the header image!! Where'd it go?
A: Well, there are several things that could have happened. First, you need to upload your image onto a website. A good one is Photobucket, or Imageshack. It'll give you a code, and you paste it in where it says "header" or "background" or whatever here. Simple.

Still no header? Well you probably don't have a website define. Go to edit your manage then info and you'll see this:

Put the link to your page, Myspace, favorite community whatever in there. And it should work!

If something still doesn't happen, copy and paste the code again. And if THAT fails, let me know :)

Q: Can I edit the layout?
A: This one has always puzzled me. Someone makes a layout... a complete package if you will, and you want to edit it. But that's just me.

For editing (at least for layouts by thewindcries), I take it as them come. In each layout post, please comment if you wish to edit it. DO NOT EDIT THEM BEFORE YOU ASK OR BEFORE I GIVE YOU PERMISSION. That just irritates me. But, you are always welcome to edit the comment and navigation links (if they are text and not in the header). If you screw up though, don't expect me to help you! But please always keep credit intact. It's just nice to do.

Q: How do you do _______________?
A: I probably won't answer too many layout Qs on here. I'm not that great at explaining and copying and pasting codes is a hassle. Instead, go over to the community everything_lj. Look through the memories for what you are looking for. If you can't find anything after searching, make a post. People are great there and happy to help.

Q: I pasted a code and it made my date format look funny!
A: This probably means you are pasting the code in notepad first, and then pasting it into the browser. This is fine, but you cannot have word wrap enabled. Go to Format: Word Wrap and make sure it's unchecked.

Q: Can you make me a layout?!
A: Of course! But you HAVE to fill out one of the forms on the info page. However all requests are made public which means we can't really customize them for YOU. Saying, "I want it to say "welcome to _____'s world and I love ANTM!" on the header isn't going to work.

Q: What is the community's layout, and can you make one for me?
A: The community's layout is based on a paid account style, Component. I will not give the codes for this layout because it was hard for me to do (styles are harder than s1 layouts!) and it's made just for sweetpealayouts. I'm not too great at styles yet, so right now I'm not doing paid accounts yet. Someday though :) If you want a really awesome component layout, go to http://www.cherry-style.com . They have some GREAT layouts.

Q: Do you need help?
A: Right now we have a great staff, and it's plenty! But, sometimes we make exceptions, or sometimes someone just goes away for a while. If you want to know more, you can contact either me or truthfull_lies for more information.

Q: Can you affilate with my community/journal ___________?
A: Affilates are love! Leave a comment wherever and we'll get back to you!
