Hi guys!

I'm admittedly mostly super new at this stuff, so I apologise if this is really basic. I've been tinkering around with a custom layout (this one, by aliahan to be specific) trying to get it more in line with my desired outcome. After googling around for fixes, I finally got my reading page looking just the way I want it. (live preview, image preview)

My problem is this: the entry management links and entry interaction links in my journal entries don't display the same way. (live preview, image preview for a longer entry, and live preview, image preview for a really short entry.)

I'm using Tabula Rasa, which I know doesn't naturally display the entry management links and the entry interaction links in the same line (and boy it took me a while to figure out how to wrangle that and I'm still not sure my fix is the best one) on the reading page, so now I'm just like... stuck... basically...

I'm not sure if it's even possible to fix it on the too-short entries, other than making sure I don't create entries that are too short??

The other thing I wanted to do was remove the userpic and userpic column from the journal entries entirely (just on the journal entries mind, not on the reading page!) so that the body of each entry takes up the entirety of the white box area. I tried ".userpics { display: none; }" but that had no effect whatsoever, so. Yyyyeah.

Anyway, I'd be really grateful for any help that anyone can give! Here's my layers & css if it helps:

ETA: Oh also, if any one knows how to get the "(no subject)" line out of just my sticky entry, that would be tops... I figured out how to remove the "sticky" text but that was as far as I got... aha... hahaha. ha.

ETA 2: All solved, thank you!

I did some looking to find the most appropriate comm in which to ask about this, but apologies if I guessed wrong based on the userinfo here-- feel free to redirect me to a better place to ask. I suspect it's possible that asking about embedding flash on DW may be the silliest question you've seen yet. I'm pretty bold about admitting ignorance, and pride goeth before the dreams of cheesy page elements =)

I'm a dork and love the flash animation code that puts transparent swimming fish over your text. I kinda wanted to do it for just this first sticky entry. My initial research indicates that you simply can't integrate embedded flash with CSS. Now to say I'm a hack (and not the cool kind) regarding coding is being generous. But I messed with the code and got it to KIND of work... I think possibly the parameters just need tweaking.
