Just a try

Well, nelladarren explained to me how it should work - and now we'll see if I was clever enough to understand her.

Neat composition of picture & words!

Still - in future, could you put large stuff like this behind a cut-tag please?

how what worked?
background? (check)
post image (check)
make icon? (text too small when downsizing image)

Yes, sorry. Was to tired to think. Will change that. *blush*

Yeah, I tried the icon thing, but the text defenitely too big. *sigh*
Guess poems aren't meant to be on icons or userpics.

But I'm rahter proud of the rest. *g*

Wow! That would look swell on a big poster...!
I was actually thinking "told her what?!" - ah, about photobucket!
And a really really impressive poem!

Btw: ask katyhh, there's an option in lj that makes the background image stay and only move the journal entries, if you like (as in that babydyke's journal!)

[sibylle]

hmm... if you want me to I can try animating it, though I guess it is a bit much text even for that ... the most I ever wrangled into an icon is what you can see used here.

/me dons katy mask
no-repeat tags do that in html, here it's something you can set when editing the layout of your journal (same place you put in the tag for the background image - at least when using SS2)

/me removes katy mask
