Redecoration

[salinea]

I changed all my icons (except for one), and changed my layout. That took some time.

I wanted to use something else than flexible boxes, for once, but it's the only style I could find that allow to fiddle with colours while keeping all the subcategories I want to have like tags and free text :(

Anyone know have a good link for how to put a picture header with this kind of style?
ETA: now have a header, thanks to the awesome dizilla ♥

I enjoy flexisquares whenever I do my own custom layout. Headers are quite easy, but I'm pants at explaining so here's where I think I first learned how to do it:

The comm overall is rather helpful in customizing flexisquares to how you want it. ^_^

THANK YOU! That's exactly what I wanted.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

[dizilla.livejournal.com]

=D and a loverly header at that. ^_^

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[alanashinean.livejournal.com]

I'm useless at customising LJ. But like your new layout, and I like your color scheme. So good job so far. /endbeinguseless

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I now have a header, so it's even prettier :)

[ann1962]

It's very pretty.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I love the new layout and icons. :)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much ♥

[chisakami.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm not the only one who periodically changes everything on my lj!

[chisakami.livejournal.com]

Also: I'm loving your Toph icons.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

LOL no, I do it something like once or twice every year lol

and thank you :D I do adore Toph ♥

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

That's really pretty! :D

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

thank you! :)

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

I love it! I might have to figure some of this out and revamp my own. :)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

thank you! Following dizilla's link is probably the best way to do it (unless you're good with css, i know I'm not XD)

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Your layout reminds me to keep reading that manga. I only checked out two volumes.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I wish i could get them beyond the 6th.

Pretty! And, hee, Bel quote icon! And the Eliot poetry one is lovely.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

^_^ I have a whole series of icon by this iconmaker with Eliot and Yeats poem lines mostly which are all really gorgeous :)

and Bel rocks!

[werthead.livejournal.com]

Very nice, like what you've done with the place :-)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

thank you ;)

[twistedsheets10.livejournal.com]

Niiice. Is that image from a Korean manga?

I'm currently trying to organize my LJ as well. XD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Nah, from a Japanese manga, Hyakkikou Shou by Ima Ichiko.

I've been in the middle of a big tags reorganisation for months now :D

[after-nightfall.livejournal.com]

Wow, beautiful header. And beautiful poem. I totally agree that periodic redecorating is good - I just wish my web designing talent would finally emerge from some dark corner of my brain so I could do it too. :-)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

The poem is the first poem I ever read by Verlaine, and the one that made me fall in love with his poetry :)

Bah, I have no webdesign skills, just playing with colours and putting the head following the indications that dizilla linked to.

[sakanagi.livejournal.com]

Nice new layout!

Also, I must mention my approval of your Xelloss icon. And your Rue/Mytho icon. And the Utena icons (oh, how I love creepy!Anthy...). ♥ The Subaru icon is cute too.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

hahaha, thanks. I adore creepy Anthy! and the others too :D

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Pretty! I love your new icons, especially the Persepolis one and the Utena ones and your Clamp icons (I get the Tokyo Babylon icons now :D), and haha, I have that Erasmus book quote in my profile, it's very fitting :D

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Oh, have you recently read TB? What did you think of it?

Oooh I didn't even know it was by Erasmus, cool! and yes it is XD

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

We had the Book festival in the city this week and they have a large stand with manga for really low prices (like 1,95 instead of around 10 euros) so when I saw TB 1, 2 and 3 I did not hesitate. But I'm already done and I don't have 4-7, woe :(

I liked it! I thought the art was a bit rough compared to CLAMP's newer art but the Sumeragi twins are hella cute and awesome. And I get what you said about the similarities with XXXholic. And LOL, Seishirou, he's a disaster waiting to happen, I know, but I want to seeee.

(Also, I have this unexplainable love for Subaru's hat.)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I have all of tb in scanlations, not great quality but might be better than nothing if you want.

Isn't Hokuto awesome :) I think her an Yuuko are my favourite female CLAMP characters!

And yeah, Seishirou is... quite something. I do love how dorkish he is in TB, and that speech in the story Call, about normal people, is what made me fall in love with the manga.

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Please, yes, I'd love that! :D (and if you have x/1999 I wouldn't mind either >.>)

LOL, I love her hysterical laughter and how she's obviously the elder sister and kickass. (And I love her dynamic with Subaru, aww.)

Yes, he's such a dork XD Hee, that's where he starts to show that he might not be so nice after all, I loved that.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Tokyo Babylon

I think I use to have X, but not anymore sorry... I'll search if I can find it somewhere else. ^^

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

:D *blows kisses in your direction* I'm already grateful, so don't if it's too much bother.

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

P.S. Do you know if Magic Knight Rayearth is a good manga?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I read it a very, very, very long time ago, first CLAMP manga I read. At the time I hated it. But my memory being so fuzzy, I can't really say why or if my opinion would change now. In fact it's one my to-read list to check if I still feel the same (I have scanlations too ^_^)

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Haha, okay. I saw them during the book festival, but I wasn't so sure about buying them, not because of the money, but because of the shelf space >.>

[eefster.livejournal.com]

It's lovely! And that header image is just beautiful.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Yeah, I do love Ima Ichiko's art a lot too. It's so pretty ♥
