new layout... that is all

posted by [personal profile] laurainlimbo at 10:46pm on 03/01/2011 under ,
So what do you think of my new layout? [livejournal.com profile] laurainlimbo
I like it. It suits my mood now. I didn't find an LJ one that I liked, so I went to [livejournal.com profile] mintyapple and found one. And just added my own header pic that was made for me awhile back by [livejournal.com profile] bitterbird. The only thing is, when I view LJ in Firefox and in Internet Explorer, the fonts look different. and sometimes when I click on viewing comments, the text inside the header picture gets all skewed. I don't know how to fix it. Hmmm...


I had a very busy day - took some pictures of the Fujinomiya Sengen Shrine, but haven't uploaded them yet. Ate good food and walked around a seriously crowded and huge shopping mall that looks like it belongs in some suburb in some U.S. city not in Fujinomiya, Japan. I didn't take pictures of the mall. I hate malls. Especially when every person in the entire city is there. I've been enjoying my free time - sitting in my futon and watching movies and playing on LJ. I might get some sleep if my cat lets me.

until later...

That is a nice layout!

I hate going to really busy places, sitting and watching movies and being on LJ sounds so much better, and I look forward to seeing your photos.

Urgh, I'm back to work tomorrow, fun!

I've already changed my layout - and I am not as happy. but the other one had text issues.

anyway - I enjoy being home and relaxing too rather than dealing with crowds. but it's good to get out once in awhile so I don't go crazy in this house.

I'm back to work tomorrow - how is it going for you?

Love your new layout! :-)

Glad you had a good day at the shrine and had yummy food. :-)

Hope you're doing okay, lady.

And question... I checked out that [livejournal.com profile] mintyapple and like some of the layouts they have there... but how do you apply them to your LJ?

Hi - I've actually changed my layout again:) and if you like any of the layouts you see at [community profile] mintyapple, open up the post and usually the person will have posted instructions on how to change your layout. Usually you have to go into the Journal Style, change it to what they tell you, and then you might have to go to the "Customize your Theme" page and post some CSS code into the box. If there aren't any instructions, then just leave a comment for the person who posted the layout.

I'm doing okay, just busy and stressed about the future as usual. lots of doubts and worries, but I guess that's part of life.

I'll be posting pics of the shrine visit today - hopefully:)

take care!

Oh very cool! Thanks, you!

I hope the stress eases and your future becomes more clear soon, lady. I really do.

*sigh* me too Kevin. me too!
if you see my most recent post, you'll see that it's just getting more confusing and much less clear. I need some ethereal guidance, but I don't know who to turn to anymore. i don't trust my own decisions.

*hugs*

yes sadly there were some text issues, so I changed to another layout. this one has some spacing issues, so I have yet to find the perfect layout for me! CSS is a nightmare - i've been working with the CSS on this layout and changed a few things to my liking, but it has a long way to go. and I don't really understand it all.

Malls are horrible - and I'm sad that Japan has adopted them from Western culture and that so many people think that it's a good thing. I mean it felt like every single person in the whole prefecture was at that mall yesterday. we drove for 20 minutes to find parking and that was on the roof! Malls are just an example of pure mass consumerism and there is nothing of culture in them at all. Japanese people are starting to adopt too many bad concepts from the western influence - giant shopping malls and bad eating habits are just a few of the things I've seen.

haha Kafka! He was a brilliant man.

I think the layout looks cool, I tend to go to [livejournal.com profile] snubbly for my layouts.

Hope that you get some sleep :D

cool :D

*LOL* Yeah I do that too but when we babysit her lately she doesn't come up on the bed because the one we have now is smaller than our old one.

Yes, the text in the header looks a bit squished - other than that, it's nice!

Glad you had a nice time at the shrine. Wouldn't it be nice to go to a mall when it was empty?

I changed my layout because if other people were seeing the squished text, then it's no good. this one isn't perfect either but it will do for now.

I've been to malls in the U.S. when they're almost empty. it's hard to find that though - this country is obsessed with shopping! but then again I think every country is.

That's better.

Don't get me wrong, I like shopping. I just don't like hoards of people. The small mall in Champaign was nice - I was often the only person in the shop!

I hate hoards of people too. that's the amazing thing - you can't go anywhere in this country without dealing with crowds.

Champaign must be a nice town!
