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.
