So this morning I made a header for my LJ, I have been to every tut I could find to get it uploded none of them worked for me. I was wondering if anyone on my flist could tell me how to add the header. *looks around pleading* Thanks

What kind of layout are you using? It's just a simple bit of code, but I think all the layouts use something slightly different.

The layout is just one from LJ, called autumn. Well I had thought that it would be just a simple bit of codeing, but I have come to the conclution the last couple of days that codes have something against me. Yesterday I couldn't get a post to work either that had code in it, (or it could be just my blondeness showing;D)It really is probably something simple that I am going to feel like an idiot over.

I wouldn't feel like an idiot over it, or even the LJ code not working right....I have issues with code all the time. Heck, I broke most of my fanfic's pages yesterday because I got the code wrong. So it happens to the best of us :)

Okay, so by the looks of things we're using the same layout style *nods* Sweet.

Question is, are you wanting the colors and all that you've got now to be as they are....or are you wanting a different style? If you want a different style, I can put my code into a text file for you, which has the overall theme (and then you just tinker with colors until you get something you like).

But if you don't, here is the code for the header (I'll post below it how to put it in):

.headerimage {
position: relative;
width: 711px;
height: 400px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-image: url("http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee212/dem81/headers/alwaysremember.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Just replace the background-image: url with the url to your header. Also adjust height/width to the parameters of your graphic.


If you go to here:

Put that code into the 'custom css' box, hit save, and you should be done!

IT WORKED, WOOHOO! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you. I spent over 2 hours trying to get it to work this morning. You are the code goddess. *Huggles*

Would love the text file, I may tinker with the colors later on. I picked this one because it matched more than my purple background did.

Thanks
