Livejournal Layouts, (suggestion) Options

[*Libertie*]

I mentioned this to jordanriane, the LJ staff, but this is something that had completely slipped my mind until now.

My suggestion is that something like "You must put a website in your user profile in order for this layout to work!" to the default formatting for all livejournal skins, kind of like how "Copy and paste the code into Style Overrides (S1)." automatically shows up for each layout.

Otherwise, I'll remember to include this in my instructions from now on when submitting a skin; I just felt bad because so many people were getting frustrated not being able to use the layouts.

I know I started this topic a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is with the previews.

This is the journal that you "see" when the skins are being previewed. Whoever has the password for that livejournal account just needs to go to the modify journal page (http://www.livejournal.com/modify.bml) and clear the hex codes. Then they need to go to their profile (http://www.livejournal.com/editinfo.bml) and put in a website (it can link to cb!). Then, when you preview the LJ skins, they should all work.

Sorry if I'm being a bother about the previews, it's really not a big deal; it just confuses people when they see the preview and it doesn't look like the screenshot. ^^;
