a pirate's life for me

Designer's Comments

Look carefully for specific instructions

I like Johnny Depp. This is the LMDS Round 3 entry. If I had my way, you'd never be able to use this because I'm paranoid, but I'm nice. So have it. Anyway, follow the directions in the huge chunk of text that is the "about me" section. Namely, wherever there's a # sign, you need a number of some sort! Or a URL. You should be able to figure it out . . .

Okay. They told me to do this, so fix all the little thingies in the navigation and put it where it says "NAVI GO HERE, YAH?"

<div align=\"center\">[<a href=\"http://home9.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user\">home</a>|<a href=\"http://mail8.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=mail.message&friendID=#\">message</a>|<a href=\"http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=invite.addfriend_verify&friendID=#\">+friend</a>|<a href=\"http://chat.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messenger&strDestinationUserID=#\" target=\"_blank\">IM</a>|<a href=\"http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=groups.addtogroup&friendID=#\">+group</a>|<a href=\"http://mail8.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=mail.forward&friendID=#\">foward</a>|<a href=\"http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.addToFavorite&friendID=#\">+fave</a>]</div>

I'd do it for the friends too, but that'd make the friends space look really craptastic in the preview.

<p class="head">It's all about about Moi!</p>
<a href="#"><img src="http://cbimg6.com/layouts/07/08/08/20473ab.png" border="0" align="left"></a>Hi! This is a talcumpowder layout. It's called <b>A Pirate's Life for Me</b> and it's got Cap'n Jack Sparrow on it! I wish you to shut up now, m'kay? So, here's the dealio. This layout is based on the fact that I am in serious <b>love</b> with pirates and the Cap'n in addition to me having this lovely picture on my computer. No idea where it's from or exactly how this fits the theme I was given, but we're going to pretend it does. Hello? It's got pirates on it. That automagically makes it 100 percent cool, right? Wait! Don't stop reading yet! I have to tell you important stuff next. There's a whole bunch of text after this!<br><br>

Before you put this layout on, <b>ask one of your friends to click your little "view more pics" link and put that in the link before the icon</b>. Y'know, the little one before all this random talking which you can replace with another one or something. By the way, yes . . . <b>You do need your little friendy-id-number-thingie and the little "my token" number</b>. You always need those things. Also by the way, you can delete this little section after you read it. I don't much care what you do to the content area as long as the credits section stays intact. Please, it's not nice to remove them. And basically, as you can see, this div layer is where you put stuff about you. From you fave colour to the kind of underwear you're wearing right now, it can all go here.<br><br>

So this section could be all like "Hi, my name is Reili and I have a very unhealthy obsession with Kurama." Or it could be like "I'm Reili and I am a member of <b>Bishie Addicts Anonymous</b>. Which is not a real group, but hey!" Even better, you could write your about me in a different language. XD Be all like "Hola! Me llamo Reili. No entiendo Espanol." You can put as much or as little text as you want here! As long as it makes my layout look decent. I mean, sheesh . . . I don't want two lines of text! That'll make it look terrible! There's something I feel like I'm forgetting here, but I don't really know what it is . . . Well whatever. Have fun using this layout and don't eat babies! It's not nice! It's also cannibalism but thar's a totally different story. Totally, totally different. Go watch <b>Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory</b>. Great movie, it's got Johnny Depp in it. X3

Love it! x3

I love potc & Johnny Depp is amazing, but I don't really care for this layout. Pirates has more of a rustic'ish look & I don't know how the guitar fits in, I don't remember ever seeing him with one in the movie.

Very nice banner.

By monxcheri on Aug 13, 2007 6:57 pm

*jaw drops* Johnny Depp is already hott! Him plus the guitar makes him 50x more hott. which is really hard for that to happen but it does!

i love this layout

By im2sexe4mypants2 on Aug 12, 2007 1:17 am

You guys realise that you can make the friend's pics and shit whatever way you want, right? I don't care if you change the colours, I don't care if you change the font, I just don't want you touching that image!

I'm anal, but I'm not that anal. I trust you with my baby.

By talcumpowder on Aug 10, 2007 8:45 pm

I like this, but it's reallly big and the friends pics are really big too

By MaloneyBaloney16 on Aug 10, 2007 5:26 pm

the brushes next to the image look a tad random, but its awesome that you used the image of depp with the guitar
and the aishiteru is pretty awesome,
should write that it means i love you

By Blaqheartedstar on Aug 8, 2007 10:34 pm

thats funny yet quite intersting, id thnk the font should be a bit smaller like the rest,, but good job ^^

By Imichelle on Aug 8, 2007 8:57 pm

Amazing banner. The rest of the layout seems a little all over the place to me though.
