darsynia | Harry Potter Icons

28 various Harry Potter icons, some 'shippy, some themed for

100_anything (I claimed GoF) scattered in there as well. I did a few for some of the bases because I liked them so much. I managed to forget poor Rita in my actual table listing, she must have been in beetle form when I was compiling links...

The 'Morsmordre' icon was a happy accident--I had a base I wasn't too happy with so I duped it, flipped it, and stuck it on top of itself, only to discover that when Draco's head overlapped it looked like a skull...the only changes I made to it was to add a snake and the lettering, it looked *exactly* like that when I overlapped it in the first place. *shivers*

Alrighty! Any code I demonstrate will use { and } in place of the inverted V tags.

One problem I've found with live journal cuts is that if you copy and paste from Word, sometimes Word adds 'fancy' quotations, and LJ doesn't recognize them for code.

-Two types of livejournal cuts:

--1) {lj-cut} {/lj-cut}
(This will demonstrate as a link that will look like this: ( Read more... ) (http://darsynia.livejournal.com/19032.html))

--2) {lj-cut text="This is an example of text in a lj cut"} {/lj-cut}
(This will demonstrate as a link, with the text you provide. Please do note that bold, underline, and italics tags won't work inside a lj-cut. Demonstration: ( This is an example of text in a lj cut ) (http://darsynia.livejournal.com/19032.html))

-The problem you seem to be having is that you didn't end your LJ-cut tag. I do this all the time in comments, and because you can't edit them, I feel like a 'tard, lol. The good thing is, you can edit your stuff, even if your journal or the one you're posting in doesn't have an obvious 'EDIT ME HERE' kind of link.

--Helpful tips on editing, deleting, and tagging entries:

1) You will *always* be able to edit your entries, unless you are trying to edit posts in a community you are no longer a member in. If you can't see the little pencil icon that stands for 'edit entry,' click on 'post comment.' You should now see the little pencil icon up there, along with the heart for memories and the tag for tagging.

2) To delete you entry, you click on 'edit' and at the very bottom under the box that has the text of your post in it, there's four buttons. 'Save entry,' 'Delete entry,' 'Spell check,' and 'Preview.'

3) Tags are really helpful in keeping organization, and some communities require you to use them when posting. To tag your entries in your own journal, just click the tagging tool, and then type in the tags you want to refer to your entry (no limit, afaik), separated by commas, just like the interests in your userinfo. To choose multiple tags from the list of already created ones, there's a button you hold down (there should be instructions for that), which is the 'command' key on Mac computers (I can't remember what it is for PC, sorry). It's usually good to add tags from your list before typing in any additional ones, because sometimes the hand-typed ones poof when you start choosing from a list.

Community managers can choose whether members can create new tags or not. If you can't create new tags, all you'll be able to do is pick from the list. Always check to make sure the tag you want to create (if you're allowed to create any) isn't already in the list before you go to create a new one, because I'm not sure the software recognizes duplicates.

How do I end the lj-cut if I'm using the rich text editor? Because I've pasted the text within the grey box provided which it says to past my writing in. I then carried on writing the rest of my journal entry below, outside of the grey box, but the last time I tried that, it still didn't work and included everything in one entry *confused*

I have to say, I haven't used any other method of updating other than the web browser... so I'm not quite sure what you mean :(

Sorry!

Hmm... do you mind just visiting my site for a sec to look at my second most recent entry? I've now got the link to work, but is it normal for the rest of the writing in my journal entry to also appear on the seperate page with my fic on it?

It looks great to me--did you mean 'why is there anything posted after my lj-cut?' If so, it's because the cut was ended before that text. You can put as many cuts in your journal as you want, and if you end them with {/lj-cut}, anything you type afterwards will show up on the main page.

I'm just conjecturing here, but I guess the program you use to upload has a space for what shows up on the main page, then a space for what shows behind the cut, and then another space for anything after the cut?

Not really, just a space for stuff to go in the cut, I think it looks alright now (finally!) lol hehe, but thanks for going to have a look... :) I guess it just takes practise...

Btw, if you don't mind me asking, did you join HogwartsHarmony? And if you did, what house were you sorted into?

And how do you post an application? I've got the form but i can't find a button that will let me put it in a new post =(

Yep, I'm always sorted into Gryffindor, I'm apparently Godric reborn.

I don't know anything about any upload program at all, so I can't answer your question :(

Are you trying to post to

hogwartsharmony itself or

harmonysorting? The first community is moderated membership, and the second is open for whoever wants to post an application--so that might be your problem!
