everything_lj could use a helping hand! If you are knowledgeable (very knowledgeable) about the Livejournal Style system and how layouts work, please apply for the open maintainer position!

There are only a couple of requirements:

1. You have to know what you are doing!
2. You must have access to both IE and Firefox.
3. You must be familiar with the tutorials at everything_lj and how to direct people to them.
4. Preferably you are comfortable with firefox's web developer toolbar, especially the CSS options (or are willing to become so).

Please contact me or comment here if you are interested.

I know how to build websites, I've been teaching myself over the last year. I feel stupid asking this question. I asked it a while back and got a few answers, but no one understood what I was asking exactly.

I have a few people wanting me to build them a website. I'm ecstatic as this is what I want to do full time eventually.

My question is:

I use award space to host my personal websites files. When I get a client, do I need to have a premium account somewhere and host their files for them, or do I need to set everyone up with their own award space account? Should I advise them to pay for the service or use a free service? I'm just not sure to do with all their 'stuff'.

What are a list of questions I need to ask them to understand were they are at?

1: Do you have your domain yet?
2: Do you have...

good lord, I'm frazzled right now.

Perhaps someone has a check list or a newbie tutorial somewhere on the starting steps to take with a client?

Carrie's Guide to Expressive of course but also julzroguenine's Guide to Opal.

Dear maintainer, would you add them to the memories?

Do we have a CSS guide for Expressive? If not, I plan on making that my next project.

Is anyone else still having trouble? I can not save a code for anything. I just get "Loading..." and it never happens. This is happening with CSS in the custom stylesheet box AND in Custom layers with the S2 Compiler.

I know some of you use the Stylish extention for Firefox... I've never used until today. Can someone answer some questions for me about it? (Per suggestion on the last post, I'm trying to make some "LJ" styles.)

When I use Livejournal as the entire domain, it changes the background on ALL journals. I just want the LJ pages to be different. Is there an image replacement code like the one for user/community icons that can be applied to a background instead of an image? That's really the only issue I have. I can manually code the LJ pages individually, but people's profiles will still have the old background.

As for other stuff... I started a challenge at freelayouts last week. We are creating a layout for each S2 style - a different one every week. So far we are only on week two and I've learned a lot. Is anyone interested in a "review" of each S2 style in terms of how difficult/easy it was to work with?

If you guys have run across any designers/tutorial writers that you would like to invite to the community, please feel free.

How's everyone doing? I haven't come up with anything tutorial-wise in awhile. I've been so sick, I haven't done much of anything.

I am working on a way to play with the comments in Bloggish, but it's not going well for me. That's about it.

Anyone else working on anything good?

Hi guys,

I've recently revamped my tutorial templates and some feedback would be great, particularly about colors. Trying to find some which do not make you want to poke your eyes out is driving me mad. No bright red and no gray, please though; I can't stand black text on gray backgrounds and red is just "too red". ;-)

Here's a link to a Paid tutorial: http://community.livejournal.com/explainittome/63400.html

And one to a Free&Paid tutorial: http://community.livejournal.com/explainittome/61318.html

Everything that is below the dotted line is in fact below a cut that says "Instructions and Code".

P.S. Happy new year!
