Was not productive :|

I got distracted by changing the layout here on lj - I was tired of the default blue smooth sailing I was using, so here's a tweaked layout based on one at [livejournal.com profile] fruitstyle. I love the layouts they make there, and I didn't realize I've spent over an hour creating the banner and tweaking the colors. :|

Anyway, please don't forget that blind go's mini-round: All or Nothing went off without a hitch! All the fics can be found at [livejournal.com profile] answer_key and I'll be posting my own guessing post on [livejournal.com profile] 5_in_binary. I'm shocked - SHOCKED I tell you - that Ver hasn't guessed me yet. :)

Haha, I know who you are, I just haven't posted it yet. :P

(It's obvious this round, isn't it?)
I'll make a guessing post tomorrow :D

Oh cute! I'd like to try that :D

Try their layouts! They're pretty simple to tweak, and if you have a banner you can pick and choose the colors using photoshop :D

Totes jealous. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do rounded edges on graphics. >.< But the layout looks totally awesome. ♥ I love [livejournal.com profile] fruitstyle as well.

Well, the layout pretty much came with those rounded corners, so I only had trouble with making the banner suit the rest of the page. This (http://matthom.com/archive/2004/09/10/fast-rounded-corners-in-photoshop) is pretty much how I did rounded edges for the banner, and then I set the image type to png-24 with transparency on. Setting it to PNG-8 leaves white gritty edges around the picture. :(

Lovely LJ layout! I'm also looking for one. Are there any places you recommend for non-tech savvy people?

Your current layout is actually very pretty! I usually go to [livejournal.com profile] fruitstyle and [livejournal.com profile] estiloamor for simple but pretty layouts. I also like passing by [livejournal.com profile] milkgloves but that was when she didn't have her layouts locked to the community.

Basically, when I see something pretty (icons, layouts, etc), I bookmark them for future reference when I want to go back and either a. just stare at how gorgeous it is b. learn how to make the same effect :)
