Hello,

I'm hoping that someone with a little more tech know how than me can help. I customized my LJ using Style sheet 2 which I loved BUT it wasn't going to allow me to add a header, rather I couldn't find a way to shift my PUNQUIN ELEGANT layout down. This despite my having a paid account.

So I set one up in Style sheet 1 - no doubt making dodgy changes in coding - God help me - it's also PUNQUIN ELEGANT. I haven't mananged to tweak as many options as in Style Sheet 2 but I'm happy with the layout. Anyway I need the wallpaper NOT to repeat (in that I can't make the background in the table a solid block colour and thus none of the text is readable against the repeated background) and have input the following code to no avail:



Any help would be invaulable. Any advice on how to move the top margin down in style sheet 2 would be miraculous!

Thank you.

First off, do you mean you're using S2 (which does not mean stylesheet 2, s2 is livejournal related, nothing else).

S2 coding is entirely different then S1 (which is the system where you can use regular html/css, etc). S2 uses print boxes, and an entirely different form of coding. It's more difficult, and specific, and relies on specific tags to be able to "translate" the coding out into what you want it to look like.

Here's what you would use

Hopefully that's what you needed?

Hello,

Firstly thank you for the prompt reply.

I am using S2 but when I set out to put a header on my LJ I created an S1 style which is the one I'm modifying - although not using. Mainly because I can't tweak it to look like my S2 layout *sigh*

I'm not great with HTML - so that you get the picture, I'm esctatic that I managed to change the background colour from the S1 PUNQUIN default, not to mention most of the colours of the links. Some refuse to budge for no reason that I can fathom and, although I pasted in your css codes - thank you for those - I now get no image loading in the background.

Go figure...

Could I possibly trouble you enough to paste in the main body of the coding? Or e-mail it to you? Unless of course there is someway to shift my S2 style down and just link to the header in much t he same way as I'm linking to repeating wallpaper now. Not that I'd want the header to repeat, you understand.

I'm being clear as mud, aren't I?

Sorry.

Okay, you either use S1 or you use S2, which one is it?


Honestly, what you're saying is quite confusing.
If you don't understand S2 and can't get it to work right, stick with S1. It's as simple as that.
