Sorry it didn't work out for you. I made some modifications so it should work now. I realized that I accedentally had an extra comma somewhere, a problem that doesn't show up on IE but is prevalent in Firefox.

I really liked this, but some things didn't work too well. Like, the word replacement...that didn't work. some other stuff too. But I think it's probably because I use Firefox and not Internet Explorer.

Thanks for all your comments. If you don't like the script font, but you want to use the layout, you can insert your own by using this blank picture.

By Indiscriminate Soul on Apr 17, 2006 2:23 pm

I think the layout is great, but I'm having trouble adding stuff to i.e. Alias (Name:), Likes (Interests:), and that sorta thing. Where do you add the information on the HTML in Look & Feel to make it show up? This is what I did:(On Webstats)var

that looks nice! but i agree with ^, the font doesn't really match the layout.

By helen on Apr 16, 2006 1:07 am

I like the layout, but I'm not sure if the script font goes with the banner.

By LoveToMySilas on Apr 15, 2006 6:49 pm
