my livejournal

I am trying to use the fall out boy layout, and like every other layout, it doesn't show up! Can someone help me? I know I am new, but HTML is ussually something I can just pick up on from site to site. But with livejournal I am having some trouble.

I'm having the same trouble. I have it all set to Generator..I looked at the whole "firefox !important line" but it won't show up. It changed my heading and everything but the background I wanted won't work. Can somebody help me..?

The problem lies within the coding; the person who created and submitted the layout did not open and close their style tags correctly, which is why livejournal does not render the layout the way it appears in the screenshot.

Yes, but when I tried a diffrent layout the same problem occured unless the seprate ways layout also has coding errors?

Separate Ways does indeed have a coding error since livejournal no longer renders iframe.htmleditor. If you would like to use Separate Ways, find iframe.htmleditor, in the coding and remove it and it should work.

I think that I didn't set everything I should do generator. All I set to generator was in the layout and languages section. If there is more things to set to generator, first WHAT do I need to set to generator, and WHERE can I set it that way.

Edit:

Okay okay okay, I changed everything to generator. Fortunatly I found out that I was on the S2 theme, now I changed everything to generator. and the layout image doesn't show. Well at least the some of the layout showed! I will just find a new one =D

Edit AGAIN:

Kidding! i tried new layouts, but no layout image will show up =[[
you all must really hate me by now. hahaha.

Okayokayokay
This retard [me] finally found out how to work the layout. Wow did that take a long time, I feel sooo slow. I don't quite like the "journal" part of it, but I am sure I can fix that. I am only using another layout to help practice being able to make my own.
