thank you :) - now i need to know how to make it so my friends page comes up (cause right now when u click on it; it goes to the wrong person's page)

You need to edit the links found in the overrides so that it contains YOUR username and not the authors (or whatever example username they used for it.)

[DreamChaser]

ok...i really dont know what im doing or how to do it. i got the skin installed; i cant find the links in the code (at least not ones im supposed to be finding).

[jordanriane]

Are you using a skin found on this site, or somewhere else?

If you're using a cb skin, post the link to the thread here and i'll try to help you out.

1. You need to go back to where you entered in your overrides, and look for the colors table. Check "CUSTOM COLORS," then make sure to delete everything in the table, otherwise it will mess up your layout.

Copy and paste the above code into the override box.
I edited the coding to contain your livejournal username in it, and I also added the overrides so it will work for your friends, calendar and day view.

thank you very much for your help :)

No problem at all.

If you have any further questions, always feel free to make a new thread for them if it pertains to livejournal help.
