Step V: Comment Pages & Addtl Options

This theme is cosmetic and not operated to work with custom comment pages. You need to enable the site skin comment page so it doesn't look ugly; you can do this by going to:

• Organize » Manage Account » Display
• "Entry Page Default: Your Journal" - uncheck the box; and hit save.

For maximum appearance and capability, it is also advised that you use text interaction links instead of icon interaction links. To configure this, go to:

• Organize » Customize Style » Presentation
• "Select whether user interaction links are printed as text or using the available icons" » switch from icons to text-only
• "Select whether entry management links are printed as text or using the available icons" » switch from icons to text-only
• "Select whether comment management links are printed as text or using the available icons" » switch from icons to text-only

I actually coded this layout a few months ago but didn't like it very much, even though I was mostly done. Looking at it now, there's nothing I really dislike about it and it did what I wanted it to do. Essentially it was my remixing my old LiveJournal layout over at kingdra, with the navigation and the title text. Obviously it's much different both in terms of color and functionality, but the similarities I wanted to keep I think carried over pretty well.

If nothing else, my putting up this layout for use can be for posterity.

I really love this layout for its colour theme and simplicity but I wanted to change a few things like adding in a module. I'm not code savy but I noticed that the Profile Module has been disabled. How would I re-enable it?

Hi! I just updated the code so it should be enabled now :)

[ikneko]

Thank you! Sorry you had to change the coding yourself.

It's no problem!

Beautiful layout! I'll be using it for this journal with credit in the navigation module.

I've spent too long today looking for a layout where the reading area isn't flexi-width, the whole layout is centered, and the font and white space are reasonable. It's been fun looking through all the layouts we made and loved when monitors were small and smartphones were less of a thing, but yours is the only one I've found that hits all the highlights. So thank you!

I love this style, it's clean and I really like the color scheme ♥
I'm using now but I changed the resizing of icons coz I'm really shortsighted. I hope you don't mind.
