Due to the LJ excitement yesterday, I went through and archived my favorite drabbles and then sent Cave Canem (otherwise known as the Trading Card porn) to Kansas and Leviathan. It's not my best work, but I'm glad that it'll be archived somewhere.
I seriously need a vacation. I just tried to edit a quote because I couldn't imagine that I'd written something so awkward, and then realized that it was someone else's quote and I had to keep it. This is partially my fault, and partially the fault of my boss who is only now laying in the copy I wrote three months ago. He was mad at the client because they hadn't paid us yet. I understand that, but they're my favorite client, and the time delay makes a lot of my copy irrelevant, so now I have to rewrite and reedit vast chunks of the articles, so the fact that I'm less than familiar with copy I wrote is a little more excusible.

shaye and whitelight1 and many others have really beautiful journal designs. Can anyone give me tips on how to spruce mine up, taking into consideration my technology blind spots - like I have yet to make a completely successful post to either Leviathan or the Leviathan mailing list without something being wonky, and that trying to install Yahoo! Messenger made me weepy with frustration- and my lack of Photoshop access. I could ask the design department to help me, but then I'd have to explain why.

Believe me, I am not technological at all.
I used the FAQ and the How To Journal, whose address is given in the FAQ(I can't remember) and then went by trial and error.
All my layout stuff is typed in the override section in the Modify Journal page.
I know LJ just implemented a new Style 2 journal style that seems to give more freedom to LJ users as well.
If you need any help, feel free to toss me an email.
