HTML help and my LJ layout

[thrihyrne]

For those of you who are exceptionally good at these things, can you easily tell me if I can change the background repeat picture in my current layout? I don't totally suck at HTML, but since it's CSS and I'm not sure where the file is located and can't seem to find the actual repeating background picture, I thought I'd go ahead and ask. Thanks much!

Can you send me the stylesheet? I'll have a look. :)

Bother. I was able to get the right link to the stylesheet, but it's a Mixit layout and some of the most confusing CSS I've ever seen. I got as far as getting my layout to look exactly like yours (as a test), but I COULD NOT find the entry for the background image.

Feh.

Hopefully someone with more CSS know-how than me will offer some help.

Hmmmmm. Can you tell me how to link to the stylesheet? I can then try and analyze it, lol. That's always fun. Actually, if you didn't mind sending me your layout HTML as well via email, I'd love that. Don't forget to send over your R/D as well!

I found the linkage through trial and error. :p I can send you the one that I used to get the same layout as yours. Trust me, the CSS is still confusing enough that you'll have fun playing with it. :)

Sure, I'll send over the CSS for my layout, but mine's based on Flexible Squares, so I don't know if they'll be comparable.

And. I'm not finished the R/D yet, but I can send what I have?

I'm going to look at your layout anyway; I could at least try and make my own off-line and see how it goes. I do love the notebook paper with the content here, but if I could come up with my own background and have it be seamless looking, that would rock.

Got all of your goodies last night; haven't had a chance to read your R/D yet, but I will! Thank you!! ♥

Awesome. Let me know what you think when you have the time.

But be kind of nice -- I'm really depressed tonight and I think one more negative-ish comment might send me into a crying jag. xD
