Re: Tags & Links

'K...

So... I found out that, because FH is a free account... I have to do a little more work to get the tags list set up.

I have to set up a stylesheet and edit it and upload it to my website and then use it to 'override' the actual style sheet (or something...)

I'm willing to attempt it, despite my severe lack of html coding knowledge... however, if anyone wants to help, I'd be eternally grateful :)

My question is - with a free account, don't you need to do overrides in the S1 Style System, which doesn't support tags? Or am I wrong on that?

I can pony up $5 to upgrade the account for a few months if that would make your life easier. You can use S2 and just modify the code on the layer. I think there are some good flexsquares tutorials out there that would basically do the coding for you.

I found a really good flexiblesquares tutorial site.

You can use s2 and do some customizations with a free account... but its just a lot more work (from what I'm reading at least... some of its going over my head... but it seems to be explained pretty well.

Even with a paid account, the "links list" has a limit -- it's 30 links, rather than 5 for free users. Would that be enough?

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

Its not the actual links list... its a separate sidebar...

musemuggers is the one I'm modeling it after (hoping to at least).

There's always the option of putting in a single link to this page (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/tag/), which just gives you a list of tags. If you can fiddle with the style for the tag page so that it really is only a list of tags, you can stick that in an iframe, and you're sorted.

Oh dear, my brain hurts now.

Tell me about it... I really like the way musemuggers has it set up though and I think it would make things SO much easier for everyone here if we can set it up that way.

My brain may explode first though...

No worries. I just paid up fandomhigh for six months. I have the spare cash and I'm completely insane, so why not?

OMG *smothers you with hugs & kisses*

Now I just have to figure out how to do it with the paid account :)
