Well, it's changed. Guess who.

The text is in a similar style to my Axel one, but hopefully this one is slightly more readable as it is a different color from what's in the background underneath it (it's supposed to be similar to the shirt).

Anyway, I made the background, as I built off an official image I found on photobucket. It was simple, really. Because it seems that whenever I add too much...well...it looks worse than when it's more plain.

Oh, also, [info]snaaaaaake says I imitate Joshua from TWEWY really well. (On that note, he's not bad at imitating Minamimoto, although he tried Neku but his voice is too low). We were playing Mario Kart Wii (just got it yesterday) and I was talking to him about how fun it would be to kill him in the game with some sort of item...and he said I sounded like Yoshiya, so I bothered him throughout the game, quoting random quotes and whatnot~

Me: *gets into first* Follow my lead!

Him: SCREW THAT!!

And when I said, "Try harder, Neku," he got an item boost and BARELY passed me, taking first. D: He enjoyed that...

I like your new layout, but I think you could improve it even more by adding a translucent white background to your entries so the text is easier to read. It's still good, though!

That's exactly what I was thinking, actually!

I just don't know how to make it translucent...

If I remember correctly, there is one way to make your text boxes translucent, but it requires that you actually let your text boxes be shown. If you're interested in trying it out:

1. Save your current codes, just in case something bad happens/the layout doesn't turn out the way you want it. Also, if you really don't want to take changes with how this might turn out, create a new LJ just to test this out. :)
2. Go to 'customize.' If you're still working with the S1 style system, you're going to have to switch to the S2 one, because LJ "doesn't support" S1 anymore.
3. If your layout is the 'generator' theme, then click on 'customize your theme' in the top-right-hand corner. I think your layout's the generator theme, but if it isn't, then this method probably won't work.
4. So, you should end up on the page that lets you customize your 'display' settings. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the choices, where there is a section titled 'additional options.' Click on it, and more choices should drop down.
5. Make sure that your 'alignment of the content area' is 'center' and that 'style of borders around all boxes' is 'invisible' (though you may want to change this later). It's your choice whether you want to 'show the top box's header bar.'
6. This is the first of the two important things to select: for 'make journal content transparent instead of using given background colors,' click 'no.'
7. Save changes.
8. Now, go to the toolbar on the left side of the page, and click 'style.' Go to the section titled 'images' and paste in the URL of your background image (which is lovely, by the way ♥).
9. Final part: go to the toolbar again and click on 'custom CSS.' I haven't worked personally with anything fancy here, so make sure that 'use layout's stylesheet(s)' is 'yes.'
10. In the 'custom stylesheet' textbox, paste this in:

11. You can adjust how translucent you want your textboxes to be by changing the 'opacity=#' between 0 and 100. The closer to zero, the more transparent your textboxes will be.

That should do the trick. I hope this helps!
