I think most overrides are meant to work for the journal style generator, that might be why you can't get the entries bigger? Go here:
http://www.livejournal.com/modify.bml
(while logged in) and change the journal style to 'generator'.
That's what I would do...

You should see something like this somewhere in your overrides..

CODE

table {
width: 300px;
float: right;
}
table table {
width: 90%;
float: none;
}


Change the number values to change the size, and you can change right to left if you want. If that's not in your overrides or it looks different, put this in instead and change the numbers to make it work.

Well, since you've changed to Generator, I'll give you another set of code:

CODE
table {
width: 500px;
margin-left: 100px;
margin-right: 100%;
}
table table {
width: 100%;
margin:0;
}
table table table {
width: auto;
}


This page will help you out a LOT. It has pretty much all the basic code: http://www.journalhelp.com/generator.html

So, once you've got all that figured out, we work out the header image:

QUOTE
LASTN_WEBSITE<=
<center><a href="link.html"><br />
<a href="link.html"><br />
<a href="link.html"><br />
<a href="link.html"></center>

<div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px">
<img src="headerimageurl.jpg" style="visibility: visible;">
</div>
<=LASTN_WEBSITE


Change the bold parts obviously, but that will get both the image and the links up. Also note that you must have a website listed in your userinfo (link) for the image and links to show up.

Here, the bold part is the only part you can change. Everything else needs to be exactly as shown.

Just clarifying (I shouldn't be posting this late at night): You're trying to put in a background image and it's not showing up? What code are you using?

*scratches head* If you aren't using Generator I'm not sure if the LASTN_WEBSITE thing will work. Hmm.. make sure you have a website specified in your profile, also.. Otherwise, only thing I can see is that you don't need the "xx-" before your link/image/linebreak tags.

I think this is the problem..

You need to be using Generator for the header image to show up. You can replace the stuff on the left with a sidebar.

Also, I know I'm repeating myself, but you have to have a website in your userinfo. http://www.livejournal.com/editinfo.bml Where it says "webpage name" and "webpage URL" there must be something in those boxes.

It wasn't really my birthday, he was just being silly. Don't worry about it. :P

I looked at your code again, and it looks like the image you put in there is broken - I couldn't follow the link. Also, I think you have different code in your livejournal. Would you mind posting the updated code?

Were you trying to do something like this?



Try that code, and tell me what you wanted to be different.

Feel free to stick around and post, and let me know if this needs to be reopened (that or just start a new thread if you need help).
