Hello! I am a new DW member and in the process of transferring my blog over.

I'm playing around with the Buttercup Summer theme and happy with everything I can modify, except one thing. This layout has the navlinks in the sidebar, which is great, but the text overlaps the icons in the profile module slightly.

Screenshot of my empty DW page with slightly wonky sidebar

Looking at the source for my page, I *think* this because the navlinks module doesn't have a H2 header. If I wanted to add a H2 to the navlinks module (like the text highlighted below), how do I do that? I've tried the 'Use embed CSS' box on the Custom CSS page but I don't think that's the right approach (and it doesn't work).

Wait, I think this is because the S2 base layer has the code:

# Modules without titles: navlinks, time, poweredby

Do I need to made a custom S2 and remove navlinks from the 'Modules without titles' section? Is there an easier way to get my sidebar to look pretty and not have overlapping text?

hi! here's what i'm trying to achieve: i want my journal's main page to display one entry (the most recent one), and i want that entry to be vertically centered, so that the distance from the top of the entry to the navstrip is the same as the distance from the bottom of the entry to the bottom of the page. here is a quick mockup of what i have in mind:


click here for fullsize

i've tried using margin: auto for this, but it didn't work; googling around leads me to believe that that's because the entry container is an inline element and thus doesn't have a specified height, which you need for that to work. i thought about using a flexbox inside the entry with three elements arranged in a column, with the middle element holding the actual contents of the entry and the top and bottom elements growing/shrinking to provide padding, to achieve something visually similar, but i don't think that would work either for the same reason (no specified height).

is there any way to do this? the theme i'm currently using is blanket, but i'm not married to it, so if there is a different theme that allows me to do this, i will happily switch.

thank you!

 Hi, I would like to ask why every new topic and every new page piles up vertically in the form of posts in the main home page? I would like to have separate pages, for each separate category, and when the link on the page is clicked, it opens a whole new page instead of scrolling down the posts! I tried changing the template with other templates, it doesn't help...

I also looked in the settings: Select Journal Style / Customize Journal Style / Test Beta Features,
but I didn't find a function to create separate pages anywhere.

I also looked in the CREATE menu, but there is no option to create a new separate page, only Post Entry / Edit Entries,
but again I didn't find a function to create separate pages anywhere.

I would be glad if someone with more experience could help, thanks in advance!

I'd like to use an otf font file type that doesn't appear to be hosted on google fonts or other font sites (Dalelands.) I have some experience tweaking things via css and linking to fonts, but I've never added a font. If I have to host it offsite, where would be a good place to do this? Thanks!

Hello everyone :-] Look, I feel really sorry linking the journal of a stranger who presumably haven't used their journal in over a decade, but I never really used LJ and don't know anything about how it works besides what you see as a logged-out user. Does anyone know the name of this layout, which I see a lot, and is there a way I can repurpose it for DW? I think it's really cute, and if I just play with the CSS a little I could make it even better (according to my tastes).

 Okay I've been working on Transmogrified as other themes I had some major frustrations with. I think I've figure most things out but suddenly I realized there is a horizontal scrollbar when there shouldn't be.


You can see it at [personal profile] sireesanwar . I can not figure out why my journal is like 150% wide. Anyone see what I'm not?

How can I modify the HTML side of my layout to achieve this result? I am using Practicality as my base theme.

Okay I have several issues here. I'm trying to customize Transmogified from my LJ FlexiSquares and Expressive layouts. But a couple things.

1.  How do I code them to provide my custom tiny icon? I figured out currents or metadata and tags and user and community but not Sticky, Private, Locked etc. DONE

2.  Why are my "access filter" icons (provided by DW) showing up in the post? See images below... if you need me to friend you so you can see the "friends locked" post... let me know. The sticky one appears to be working except it disappears upon clicking a tag on the post or going into the post and I don't know if that is normal... you can see it live at my journal but a friends lock one will have to friend you.

I really would love to keep my old theme (a customized tabula rasa plain) but it no longer works on mobile :( Checking the use layouts style sheets box doesnt help. Any chance somebody can look at my custom code and offer me a fix?

I wanted to transfer some of my layout work over to Dreamwidth but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent of Expressive nor an easy want to move Expressive over to DW. Does anyone know if this can be done or if there is a similar layout I can learn? I've been looking but everything here seems kind of old school.

Not new to DW but not up on everything.

Hello!

I tweaked the fonts in my layout then noticed afterwards that the tiny username icons were misaligned with the text beside them. I was able to fix it using the code below for DW users and communities, but for other sites like AO3 and YouTube, the tiny username icons are still aligned at the bottom.

Thanks in advance for any help πŸ™πŸ½

I switched to the Mobility theme today so that my blog would look better on mobile devices. I've customized all the colors and fonts and stuff to my liking, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of this eyesore box at the top:

a screenshot of my blog with the offending box circled in black

I've flicked all the modules on and off to see if I can isolate it, and it doesn't seem tied to any of them. IDEALLY I would just have my blog title and subtitle there, and no random "Modules" link (which, for what I'm doing here, is pretty redundant). I've combed all the journal customization options over a few times trying to figure out what controls what happens in that box and how I can modify it or at least shoo it away, but I've come up empty-handed. I assume this is probably something I'd have to attack with CSS? I'm not good at that stuff but I can kinda fake it until I make it, although I just honestly don't know where to start here. I would super appreciate anyone's insight.

Hello, I was pointed by support to contact you regarding templates.
My question is the following: how can I add my own template with TUBE interface? I have my own templates, developed for BLOGGER and WORDPRESS, I use program ARTISTEER and Incomedia WebSite X5 Evolution.

I looked in the options but I didn't find IMPORT TEMPLATE anywhere, I only found a section Advanced Options / Your Styles where it doesn't allow me to attach my own template that I developed myself, it only allows me to change the styles and create new ones styles. I was looking for a TUBE template, in your inline styles, but I couldn't find one anywhere, except for the standard templates that create vertical and deep pages. I would like to ask you to explain in detail how and in what way we can upload our own templates that we have developed by ourselves.
