Can I use your templates on non-diaryland sites?
Got a site that isn't hosted on good old Diaryland? Feel free to use my templates wherever you'd like, but please sign the guestbook. I like to keep track of my templates.
Can I edit your templates?
Feel free to edit any of my templates to better fit your liking. Change the image, fonts, colors, whatever. Do as you like. That's how I learned.
Do I have to leave your link if I edit the template?
Absolutely. Thanks.
Can I use a template on my review site?
Nope, I'd rather you not. Please don't use any of my designs for your review, advice, design(?), or any other commercial site you're thinking about. If you're a review, advice, etc., site that would like to use a template of mine, please contact me.
What do you use to make your templates?
As of now, I use Paintshop Pro 7 and Notepad. Soon to be Macromedia Studio, once I can get the damn thing to install.
What do you mean 'upload your images to your own server'?
I offer to host your images for you, however it's a good idea to host your images on your own server, or at least save them on your computer. Considering once I make a template I don't keep the images, and can't mail them to you if the server fails. Find yourself a reliable image host.
For each layout, I give you the links to each image used in the layout. This makes it easier for you to save them. Right click on each picture and click "Save Picture As..." Please save it somewhere you'll remember when it comes time to upload (preferably "My Documents" or "My Pictures").
Once you upload the images onto your own server, simply change my liks with your new links, and voila!
Where can I find a reliable image host?
Why aren't my older entries changing to my new template?
This is a glitch in diaryland itself. It may take minutes, hours, days, weeks even for all your entries to finally switch over to your new template. It may switch instantly, or not at all. If you'd like the new template to show up on your links pages (ie. review, bio, cast pages, etc.) I know that if you go into them, pretend you're editing them, and just click "make changes" the new template will appear. Tedious, yes, but it works.
- %%username%% -- automatically inserts your username.
- %%short_description%% -- automatically inserts your entry title.
- %%date%% -- automatically inserts the date.
- %%time%% -- automatically inserts the time.
- %%prev%% -- automatically links to your previous entry.
- %%next%% -- automatically links to next entry.
- %%entry%% -- automatically inserts your entry.
- %%entries%% -- automatically inserts all of the entries on one page (if you're using blog-style).
- %%older_entries%% -- automatically inserts links to your older entries. (May be used on older page to link all entries, or entry page to link last five entries.)
My pop-up box isn't showing up
The most common reason your calendar may not be working correctly is the type of tag you place it in. If you try placing your calendar in a div
tag, don't count on it working. For reasons I am unsure of myself, it doesn't like to work in these tags. Try finding a safe, div-less place in your HTML, and it should work.
Another reason your calendar may not be working correctly depends upon how many scripts you may already be using. For example, because some scripts are made by different people and sometimes use the same functions, they clash when you try to use them together. If you have a million scripts on your page, the calendar may not work for this reason.
Please check to make sure you've placed everything correctly. Make sure the HTML/CSS code is placed between head
and
/head
tags; the script is placed immediately after the
head
tag; and your calender isn't placed in a
div
box. If you're still having problems, please contact me, as I will be happy to help.
My pop-up box is showing up, but not in the right place
Again, scripts could affect this. Take a look at how many scripts you have on your page. Also, if you try placing your calendar in a scrollbar, the pop-up box will try appearing way in the corner (and nowhere near your calendar!!) Thus, it won't work correctly inside a scrollbar.
