[personal profile] nkfloofiepoof posting in [community profile] style_system
I joined about three days ago and am just now taking the time to poke around DW to get familiar with it. I'm trying to import my Flexible Squares layout over from LJ following [personal profile] parapsychic's guide, and I alllllmost got it save for one thing: names aren't showing up under people's icons, so I have absolutely no idea whose post is whose (I can't remember everyone's icons, and some people use very similar icons, so trying to figure out who's who based on icon isn't an option). On LJ, it has their names directly below their icon, and if they posted in a community, the community (and a link to it) is available directly below their name in brackets.

Also, the subjects aren't turning into links to individual entries.

I could do without the latter if necessary, but being able to see people's names and communities is vital. Any ideas on how to fix this?


Thank you, [personal profile] skieswideopen!

While I'm here, does anyone know if it's possible to import the LJ layout Magic Paper?

Thank you in advance~

First, follow these instructions to install Bloggish on Dreamwidth!

Then, paste this into the Custom CSS area:

When I view your source, I see this:

<style type="text/css">/* Cleaned CSS: */
/* suspect CSS: start HTML tag? */


<!-- --></style>

So the CSS didn't work.

Can I ask you something possibly silly? Did you copy the CSS I gave you from your gmail / other email account, rather than from this page directly? Because Gmail hates things in textareas and tends to shove weird <WBR> things in there.

You don't need CSS! Just go to "Customize theme" and look for the option that says "Two column (sidebar on right)" and switch it to "Two column (sidebar on left)".

You may have just made my day with this!! :D
Using this as template, is there a way to increase the width of the main column in the middle?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Probably, but you'd have to tool around with the images involved so that they stretched appropriately. It was designed to be one width. :(

Boy, I'm not sure WHAT'S going on there. It looks like it'd need some serious editing, though.

Is there any reason you want to use custom comment pages?
