[makes_it_rain]

Hello I have a bit of a coding problem!

I snagged a Flexible Squares LJ layout and everything is great except for the three middle icons not showing up correctly. I already uploaded the correct pictures to my own server and tried replacing the links already found in the code, but I am completely code illiterate so I must still be doing something wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

if you could c/p your code with the new urls into a textarea box, I could see what I can do.

Thank you so much! Hopefully this is acceptable:

I'm not the person you responded to so maybe they have a better clue, but this happened to me once, and even though I understand it conceptually, I still had to play around with it a lot so I hope this works!!

If you mouse over your links on your journal, you get house icon: (nothing), speech bubble: /archive, speech bubble: /read, speech bubble: /tag, speech bubble: /memories?user=makes_it_rain, and bobbly dude: /profile

The first one, your tags and bobbly dude are working because you have:

div#header a[href*=".livejournal.com/"], body.lj-view-recent div#header li.view { background: url(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/CloudSmoothieAngel/Nature/home-3_zpsc7d5d2b3.png) transparent no-repeat scroll 50% 100%; }

and

div#header a[href*="/profile"] { background: url(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/CloudSmoothieAngel/Nature/user-8_zpsfe40ab4d.png) transparent no-repeat scroll 50% 100%;

and

div#header a, div#header a[href*="/tag"] { background: url(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/CloudSmoothieAngel/Nature/comment_bubble-1_zps18d58a99.png) transparent no-repeat scroll 50% 100%; }

which are telling it take this url (eg a[href*="/tag"]) and put the background on it: background: url(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/CloudSmoothieAngel/Nature/comment_bubble-1_zps18d58a99.png)

But you have a couple pointing to urls that don't exist.

If you change the ones that don't work:

div#header a[href*="/calendar"]

and

div#header a[href*="/friends"]

to the correct links for /archive and /read, it should work.

The next problem is that dreamwidth has an extra one (memories) that didn't exist as a default link on LJ. If you don't want the repeating speech bubble icon, you'll need to add a new block and change the url to point to /memories?user=makes_it_rain and change the background url to an appropriate icon.

Even though I did all that in the layout I messed up, it still came out pretty wonky and I think I had to re-order some of the blocks of code. Anyway, I hope that clarified some things and hopefully get you started!
