[mod talk] Calling all layout makers~

[panjapanja.livejournal.com]

Hello! Your moderator here. I've been busy with life lately and haven't had the time to give the community a good polish, but now that I've got more time on my hands I'd like to clean things up.

First of all, I think it's about time for a new layout! The current layout spills all over the place in my browser (Chrome) and leaps out of its table at times, so I think it's time for a shiny new one. If no one helps out I'll either have to figure out how to repair the current one (just tried and failed miserably) or go to a default LJ one (yuck), so I thought I'd fish for someone more talented. :D

So, if you've got some talent with LJ layouts (I sure as heck don't), I'm looking for a layout that:

* contains an image of NeoRomance characters. The more the merrier. Try to represent all three series equally (Angelique, Corda, and Haruka)
* no text on the images is preferred
* must be compatible with more than just Internet Explorer (Firefox, Chrome, and so on)
* needs a sidebar that contains all of the links in the current sidebar
* entries' text does not spill out from tables
* sidebar must contain a way to easily access entry tags (gasp!), even as the number of tags grow

The reward for your hard work will be your name credited on the sidebar and you get to request one NeoRomance sketch or chibi (please specify which you'd like) from me. :D Woo, fanart~

If you can help me out, please let me know via message (check my profile and click "send message"). If more than one person offers to help, the one I like best will have their layout posted and get the sketch.

As soon as a new layout is up, I'd like to set up a tag system to make things easier for you guys. Somehow this little community has exploded and is approaching 1000 members..! So I'd like to make it easier to find what you're looking for. After the shiny new layout appears, I'll be going back through several years of entries (wish me luck;;) to tag everything appropriately so everyone can find what they want without having to dig.

I hope to get everything up and renewed as soon as possible. Thanks, everyone, for years of support!

The person whose layout has allowed editing as long as we credit. :)
Ah, but I'm bad at imagemaking so don't expect something fancy (unless I get someone to make it for me) XDD

I'd offer to help, but I'm always of the opinion that other people's image skills are better than mine (yours included) *lol*

No way! ahaha

Well, the only thing I'll be capable of is making a Brady Bunch-style header for the layout. Which sounds incredibly cheesy.

^^ Who knows ? It might be a Brady Bunch-style header with a twist~ Some people don't know what will happen but when they sit in front of their graphics program and play around... wow. Go for whatever that strikes you ^_^

(and erm... i will hang around to provide moral support, etc, that sort of thing ^^;)

It just sounds so corny, I don't know if it'll even work well with NeoRoma characters. XD But playing around on photoshop sounds like a good idea, I'll try it XD

(Ahah, thanks! ♥)
