I wanted to change my lj layout, and so I did, and the code got screwed up somewhere when I resized. Where did I go terribly, terribly wrong? I've been trying to fix this for about an hour with no luck. And I'm starting to go a little bit insane.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] x_nothing_here for some help with this on msn. Nearly there (though not quite, if anyone else has any ideas?).. Thanks also to [livejournal.com profile] friv0lity and [livejournal.com profile] alvericff for helping out.

Edited to add: I started from scratch and fixed it. XD

i'm assuming you want to change the topbar color?

Erm.. the part with the four boxes.. it should have the same bg colour as the rest of the layout, and shouldn't be quite as spaced out as it is. I did something to mess up the actual way the pieces are lining up with each other, if that makes sense?

Bed now.

It does. I think i figured it out. let me know if you want me to send you the coding

lets see if this will work

.sidebar {
line-height: 1.5em;
position: absolute;
top: 400px;
left: 50%;
width: 720px;
margin-left: -360px;
background-color: #5F9EA0;
}






.sidebox {
width: 162px;
margin-left: 2px;
margin-right: 2px;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #dedede;
border: 1px solid #dedede;
height: 155px;
}

Just copy those where you see the .sidebar and .sidebox and we'll see what it changes

Done. Still something not quite right though...

Baah! okay I might have forgotten something >.< hold on. BTW is the space between the box better or was it not what you meant?

Nope, the space is the same, but there wasn't any blue in the background around the boxes.. which there now is. Boxes are no longer centred either, but I'm thinking that's an easy enough fix.

what kind of background is this? Flexible square or smoothsailing?

Smooth sailing.
Also, hrm... comment box looks different now. Different colour. And the sides aren't quite lining up..

I think this is a thing to be sorted tomorrow. 8-9ish hours. Sleep is required.. brain is too fuzzy.

I found the original layout, so i can just try and work on it and you'll have the code in your inbox tomorrow morning ;)

I see it's still not agreeing with you. I hope you got some sleep though.

Not yet, nope. Might end up finding a new layout after all. We'll see though.

to get your page header block recentered you want to use this:


.pageheaderblock {
background-color: #fff;
border: 0px solid #fff;
width: 768px;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -384px;
}

I've made it the same width as your header image and adjusted the left margin accordingly. The important bit is the 'position' directive this time. I'm not sure why you have a 0 pixel white border to a white block though. =P

You'll be wanting to change widths for your entries too and the various other blocks. don't forget the margin trick for your sidebox elements so the center themselves in the sidebar. For this layout I'd use this:


.sidebox {
width: 162px;
margin-left: 12px;
margin-right: 1px;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #dedede;
border: 1px solid #dedede;
height: 155px;
}

Thanks for those. There are some definite improvements, though it's still not quite right. I'm going to get back into it now, I think. Or just find a new layout..

Starting from scratch is often the best option. XD

LOVE the header! Saw you added it to photobucket but didn't realise you were using it. I shall stare adoringly.

Tis indeed. :)

Yay, awesomes. XD Yeah, I did however see another header I want to use.. like right now, but I may hold off and use that next time. Still a Dresden Files one.

Well, its still there at the moment. So far you have held off it looks like. ;)

I switched it with the other temporarily but the colours didn't quite suit. So. Next time I want a change, I'll swap out the colours and the banner. And then there's a Scully header I want to use after that.. and a Spike/Cordy one an awesome flister made. ♥

Naw sounds awesome. Haha, you have a whole set lined up. Me? I just go with the flow/mojo. (Though I think I got promised a header by someone and I've yet to see it. Oh, well)

I never used to line stuff up like this. But... I just got a whole bunch of awesome ones at once, and now have a folder labelled "use these next!". :)

Can it be both? I think it may be both. :P

You are distracting me nicely with all these quick replies, lol.

Both works, I suppose. :P
*be's with the cute*

Heh, awesome. Though won't be around much longer tonight.. yawning like crazy right now.

That's okay.
Then I shall probably get stuck into one or two things that should be done. Or at least sit and read another chapter or two of Inheritance... which I keep spelling incorrectly.

Okays. I shall go now then, do a quick bit of writing (though may do that on this computer instead of handwritten so I don't have to type anything more up from notes!), and then bed.

Enjoy your procrastination book and see you's tomorrow maybehaps. :)

Happy writing and sleeping!
(I'm finally getting around to trying to dl the gywo tracker thingy)

Ah. But do you ever really see me? *a quiet moment of Zen-ish*

Writing, done. Bit of original fiction (spent an hour or so talking through Darkworks plans with Zach before.. our baby - co-written project to-be, of sorts). Came out very quickly and easily this time around. :)
(Heh, that tracker is awesome.)

Hmmmm. Do I? Do photos count? Or does it not count until / unless I see your physical form take shape before my eyes?
:P

"kays. Bed now. Talk tomorrow. *hugs*

That's awesome on the writing!

Perhaps.

G'night. *hugs*
