You can customise without the paid account. What you need the paid account for is the ad-less ICONS OMG.
(Oh man, you remember I told you there was this guy in the year below who stresses out to me about his crazed love-life? He's doing it again. Except I know the girl he's talking about and she's not into him at all and I'm trying to tell him not to freak out but he's still wigging, and I'm like, dude, you are not that attractive to womankind, okay? DUDE.)
My layout is via a linked style sheet. Waaaay more flexibility, or so I've found. Still. Niggly freaking code.
(He's gone now. The thing I don't get with some people is that if there are rumours flying around your head why don't you call people on their shit? Yaie. Anyway. No more talk about dumb boy child. Who is really quite adorable but mostly just ohgrowup).
(Thank hells for you. And seriously, this rumour business? It's just emotional wankery. You get to fuss and feel important - which is even more delicious if the rumours are about you because then you get to be the point of focus and plot and build up conspiracy theories and whatnot. Which is always fun, I suppose, if you're the kind of person to get off on that.
I'm really in the mood for long, winded rants today, aren't I? Geesh.)
Write out your layout code in notepad and then save with file extension .css. Then upload to somewhere like ripway.com and link to it in the provided space in the customising area. I really hope that's still there. I haven;t been to the customising area since it got n00bie-fied.
(Emotional wankery should go on a T-shirt. Heh.
But you are completely right, as ever. And I have no time and no patience for that kind of crap. This is why I get called bitchy: because I don't let people wallow in their own egos and because I cannot deal with people who have their heads up thier backends 24/7.
Also. If anyone is going to be egotistical, it will be me. NYEH!)
Ah. I didn't know that could work with LJ. Silly me. Also? That ripway.com place? I can't help thinking, where's the catch. You're using is, right? Is there a catch?
(And the list is ever growing...
Yeah. I mean, I do know that there's such a thing as healthy gossiping and that it forms social bonds and yada yada jaffacakes. But really, shut up already.
No catch that I've come across. It's always worked fine for me. I have a separate account where I host my mood themes. So...take your chances, I guess.
(Now I'm sat here going "yadda yadda jaffa jaffa!" like some manic tribesman. No, I totally am).
(ROFL! Oh hell, now I'm imagining you doing that like the Cookie Monster from The Muppets. All mouth and jaff jaff jaff. Actually, with a yaffa yaffa instead of jaffa jaffa. Dear god.)
(I'm not sure if Sheppard's hair is quite as intimidating as the image of you as a blue, hairy creature going yaffa, yaffa, yaffa. Perhaps it's a tie.)
(You know, I know I'm not attractive but come on - blue and hairy? Catch me a break!
I so pwn John's Hair. In a fight between blue hair yaffa-yaffa-yaffa me, I so win).
I'm going to be one of those people who laugh at their own punchlines. I'm already one of those people who laugh at their own punchlines. I need a rocking chair and knitting needles. Then I can be another cliche.
LOLZ. I can be a yaffa-yaffa-yaffa blue hairy thing that sits in a rocking chair and knits and says things like, "Dems were de days, me child." I would be the village wise-woman and people would say, "Yo, Meish, why de world go 'round?" and I would say things like, "Cos if it too still, it put on weight."
