OK, the Expressive for Scrapbook layer is now in a state where is is useable, I believe. Under the cut is instructions on how to use it. Any and all comments, requests for features, bug reports or, well, anything related to the style, comment here. If LJ wants to nick this for the site, feel free :) You can find the layer code at http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/styles/advanced/layerbrowse?id=66432. S2 people, do you think this would be suitable for general S2 communities as there don't seem to be any Scrapbook specific ones?

  1. Go to http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/styles/advanced/ and, in the Create Style text box, enter a name and click Create
  2. On the resulting page, ignore the box for Language. In the box for Layout, select [other]. In the text box which should now appear, enter 66432. Click save changes.
  3. Now go to http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/styles/. You should see your newly created style. Click on the Edit link
  4. On this page, DO NOT touch anything in the style settings bit, even though you'll see the wrong layer name here. It's a bug. As long as you don't save style settings you'll be fine. Instead, click the Customize (or Edit if you already have customizations) button in the Customize section
  5. You're now in the customization wizard. Customize to your hearts content, including choosing your theme (much easier for me to do that this way rather than in theme layers).
  6. To actually use the thing on your Scrapbook, go to http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/styles/ and click the radio button next to the name of the style you created


Using this method, you should get any updates I make to the layer automatically, which'll be nice :)

Hi, just a quick question. How can I switch the order of my galleries (I want the newest ones to show up first?)

Sorry - I forgot to reply to this! There isn't currently a way to re-order your galleries - you could suggest it to the LJ team though.

Hi! This worked brilliantly when I used it with Playful Cherry Blossums, but I am using the Endless Summer Sand as my main layout and I can't seem to find it in the list of layouts. Any way to work around this?

Sorted! When they add new themes for Expressive or make other changes to the style I don't always remember to add them to Scrapbook so thanks for the poke :)

No prob, thanks so much!

Whhops! Almost, I can't find endless summer still, is it named something else?

Date: July 5th, 2007 12:00 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] tinyjo.livejournal.com
Doh! I only fixed it on my test version. Should *now* be available.

Success! YAY!

Oh, this looks marvelous! I'm gonna have to apply this when I get a chance!

(Granted, 95% of my scrapbook is currently a holding place for spr0t screenshots of "i'm duplicating the crazy things they're seeing, wtf" ...)

This is SO COOL! I'm using it now, and my gallery. (I never payed attention to it before. Heh.)
Thank you! :)
