Wow! [livejournal.com profile] carriep63 made me an awesome Superman Themed layout for my journal... Now I just have to figure out how to make it my actual journal layout. Anyone care to offer me some advice/suggestions on how to make it so?

I commented on the original post with instructions. Let me know if you need help!

Your comments are going to my bulk mail box (grrr) so I am not sure if you are getting mine on your other post or not... I did comment with a fix for your compiling problem (it was my fault, sorry)!

Is it possible to make the blue text on red background a bit darker? It's a tad hard to read... (could be because of my color blindness, but it might not be)

sure, but which blue text do you mean exactly? The friend's names? Also, is the background driving you nuts?

The shade of blue you see on the links component, and the friends names, it just glares at me and is difficult to read. And I have to say the flickering background is a bit jumpy... Maybe if that were a solid blue (dark shade). But I do love what you did! It looks fantastic!

Ok, try this.
1.Go to manage/customize
2.Click on advanced customization (at the bottom)
3.Choose "Your Layers"
4.Click on the edit button next to your layer.
5.Scroll to the bottom of the code.
6.Add this right before </style>


body {
background-color: #59799F;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
}

7.Above that, you should see this code:

a {
color: #0065db;
text-decoration: none;
}

8.Delete that code and put this one in it's place. Let me know if that looks any better!

a {
color: #FDB522;
text-decoration: none;
}
.entry a{
color:#0065db;
}

Oops, you have to hit "save and compile" when you are done!
