My deepest apologies.

I’m very sorry for neglecting this blog so badly. College has been ridiculous this semester between school work and friend drama and relationship issues, so I don’t have the time or energy to properly maintain this blog for the time being. I hope to get back into the swing of things once the semester ends in mid May, but until then, I probably won’t be of much help.

Also, it was recently pointed out to me that this blog’s askbox was still closed even after I said I’d reopened it, so I fixed the links and you can feel free to leave questions and comments. Just know that I won’t get back to them for a bit.

Thank you for your patience and your patronage! I apologize again.

how to add more icon links to theme 026

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how to do this since I have different icons on my personal, so that tutorial will hopefully be up some time this week.

I am using theme 20 and it says that you can have two columns.. I was just wondering how we do that? Get back to me whenever.. Thanks! Your themes are great! :)

Thank you! I actually used to say that themes had a certain number of columns while including the sidebar and possible navbar. All my themes only have one column of posts. Sorry for the confusion!

Thank you? I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a compliment or not, but I’ll take it as one.

Can I remove the credit of one of your themes? I mean, don't remove it, just move it of place. I want to put the navigation there, but I'll continue to give you the credits on the nav, please, please pleaseee<3.

That’s alright with me. Thank you very much for asking my permission first. :-)

I'm reopening the askbox today.

Thank you everyone for your patience and continued use of my themes. I apologize again that I’ve been so bad with this blog. The holidays were a lot nuttier than I expected. Still three plus weeks of break left, so hopefully I’ll be able to get my shit together.

If I didn’t get back to your question and you still need my help, don’t hesitate to send your question again!

I'm trying to add more links to theme 20 but I'm getting weird spaces between links 7, 8, and 9 when I add a row after. Any idea what I can do to fix it?

Wed, 02 Jan 2013 16:25:34 -0600

Try making sure that the links you want to be on the same line do NOT have a
after them, but those you do want on the same line DO.

Hi, about theme023 (HEARTLINES) how do you get the sidebar background image to appear at the bottom no matter how big/small the screen size is, as in your live preview or like on this blog? Thank you so much for sharing your themes, they're wonderful!

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:35:10 -0600

Thank you so much! <3 Just make sure that the little box next to “tile sidebar bg” is not checked and it should do the trick.

Is there a way to put links into my description? I'm using #23 Heartlines which I LOVE except for the fact it doesn't support linking.

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:29:48 -0600

Yep! Just a simple little code in your description. Something like this:

Here’s some description text that doesn’t have a link on it. And this text is linked!

Hii! I love your themes! I'm currently.. trying and failing, to use 025, in that I can't appear to get an uploaded sidebar background to work? It's just the default solid colour. I can get the icon for the sidebar to load, just not the background for it. @u@ Thanks!

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:27:18 -0600

Theme 025 doesn’t have an option for a sidebar background image. Would you like instructions on how to add that option? If you do, just hang tight until I reopen the askbox and I’d be happy to instruct you then. :-)

Hi! I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm using your Theme 019 (which is really lovely and amazing!) and I had a question about something. I'm trying to put a background image in the navigation bar, but when I do, it makes it a tile background, so the image repeats over and over again. Is there any way to fix this to make it so that there's only one image that shows up? Thank you so much! :D

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:18:05 -0600

You’re very welcome! Just find this bit after #navbar

background-image:url(‘{image:navbar}’); background-attachment:fixed

and replace it with this:

background-image:url(‘{image:navbar}’); background-attachment:fixed; background-position:bottom left; background-repeat:no-repeat

Friendly reminder that I have a tutorial on how to show your page links.

Friendly reminder that I have a tutorial on how to show your page links.

when you say your themes aren't bases, does that mean color changes aren't allowed?

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:03:49 -0600

No, not at all! You can change the appearance options as much as you want. You can even edit the codes if it suits your fancy, as long as you keep my credit. I just mean that you shouldn’t take my codes, edit them, and then claim them as your own.

I realized a few days ago that I never released this theme,...

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:01:52 -0600

I realized a few days ago that I never released this theme, which I was using around late August. There’s no particular reason why I never shared it, I guess it just slipped my mind. If anyone’s interested, I can add it to the theme release queue and make it theme 028. Any takers?

I tried looking in your FAQ but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm trying to add my image to the sidebar of your theme 025, but its not showing up & there isn't an option in custom to upload one.

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:58:38 -0600

Really? That’s an odd one… Did you refresh the customize page after you put the codes in? If you don’t, the appearance options will be all messed up.

Hi! I have a question about one of your themes, #21, or Where was my fault. I understand the sidebar image is 245px (width) but what is the height? Can I also put a gif there? Because I tried making a gif and then I realized it was too tall...haha. Anyways, thank you so much for making such a beautiful theme and sharing it! <3

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:27:49 -0600

You’re very welcome! Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments. :3

You can put any image you like on that sidebar! The height is automatic, so your image doesn’t have to be a certain height to fit. You can even use images that are wider than 245px, the theme will automatically scale them to the appropriate width.

for your theme 018 "IF YOUR HEART WEARS THIN" is there a way to stop the background from repeating so its just one? x

I think this ask should answer your question. :-)

Why is nr. 12 no longer avaible?

Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:15:26 -0600

Truthfully, I was never very happy with how it turned out. :-/ That and theme 021 is essentially a redesign of it, as a couple snarky anons pointed out when I published it.

Hi there :) I was wondering if you could answer something for me about them 019? I installed it today on my desktop and everything works fine but I went onto my mac and noticed that the "next button" was missing! I'm not sure if the parameters are fucked up on my screen or something but it's definitely not there :/ thank you!

Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:14:16 -0600

It does seem like your description is pretty long, so it’s most likely that your screen size crops it off. I can see the next button on my screen, so it is there, it’s just hiding. Try clipping a line or two from your description and it should come back. :-)

For theme number 23, how do I find a decent sidebar background?

Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:10:44 -0600

I almost always use subtlepatterns for greyscale images and vintagebackgrounds for color ones, though they have some nice greyscale ones as well. I hope you can find something you like on one of those sites! :-)
