As promised with the Body tutorial, let's go over changing fonts. I've already done a tutorial about how to use Google Fonts. I recommend going over that before continuing on.

So it is possible your Header Navbar looks like this:

But we want it to look like this:


( Here is how we make that happen.... )

Account Status: All
Actions: Getting the Friends Page Back or Changing to the Friends Feed
Theme: All

So this is all a matter of opinion. Some of you hate the Friends Feed and some of you prefer it. You might even be like me and are indifferent to it. It has it's uses but you like seeing your journal when you are going through friend posts.( Getting the older Friends Page back.... )( Get the NEW Friends Feed instead of the Friends Page.... )

Account Status: All
Actions: Finding Your Profile Links (Userpics, Memories, etc.)
Theme: All

So, I figured this out pretty quickly but it has come to my attention that I'm just geared to think like a developer and designer and not necessarily like a users. Which means LJ (my too sometimes) made the stupid move of making things harder on us but have no fear. Your links to updating your userpics or going to your memories aren't gone they are just hard to find.

1. Go to your profile. You are going to see some useless information. We are looking for Statistics on the right.

( More help & some LJ Links.... )

Account Status: All
Actions: Go back to the old Friends Page
Theme: All

So the issue is that some time ago you changed to the new version of the Friends Page and now you can't get back. I discovered a way but it means losing the new updates to LiveJournal for however long they allow it. I am still able to use my version of the Friends Page so I'm hoping the new look won't come along with the permanent version of LJ's site. Since I actually like this update I'd be reluctant to do it but if you don't mind going back to the old LJ look then go for it.

1. Go to your Profile or the LiveJournal homepage. Click the cloud icon on the right. When you click a window will pop up with a link to "Switch Back To Old version". This will remove the new look of LJ and return to the previous site look for however long they make it available. Remember if don't want to go back to the old look, DO NOT continue. Otherwise proceed.( Read more... )
