Importing Dreamwidth layouts to LiveJournal?

[magnolia]

Is it possible to import layouts from Dreamwidth to LiveJournal? I still use LJ for some stuff, but the layouts are just too hard for me to see. I've imported an LJ layout to DW before so I kinda know how it works, but I was wondering if it would even work.

Also, how do I find out which layouts are available to import? Do I contact the person who made it, or do is this information on the site somewhere and I just keep overlooking it?

Any info would be appreciated. :) Thanks!

Ah, thank you for the info! I knew y'all had changed a lot of stuff, but I wasn't sure what.

I'd really like a layout similar to the one I have now (Crossroads), because the font is large enough for me to see and it actually looks like it's supposed to be that large. I've tried some of LJ's layouts like Minimalism and...er, I forget what it's called, but for some reason it looked a bit odd when I changed the font size. Maybe it's just me.

I'll take a look and see which ones are free and if I can possibly import it.

My advice is to use Smooth Sailing. Then go here and change the font sizes to ones that work for you:

Thank you! I feel a bit silly now. :)

You are not silly! It's not easy to sort through the LJ layouts if you don't already know them, or know which ones work best with scaling fonts up. I'm fond of Smooth Sailing (simple, works well with different font sizes, etc), so I could guess it would probably work okay with what you need. And if you like a particular color theme on DW, you can use those colors on a Smooth Sailing layout, too!

It works very well, thank you for the recommendation! I'll probably import the Ice Princess color scheme when I get a chance.
