first post on dw!

jin's enthusiasm about it is endearing. and kinda blank faced, but beggars can't be choosers.

anyway, dw layouts depress me, which is part of the reason why i haven't really attached myself to it and i can't for the life of me make heads or tails of instructions to prettify this place. and not to lose the habit, i'm here to ask if anyone knows of a place to snack some pretty kattun/kame/jinpreferably kame or akame layouts. so far, google has failed me, though google usually does.

in other non-news, i've noticed i tend to bemoan and whine about the state of my messy room and my ability to procrastinate when cleaning it. activity in which i'm partaking right now, so, for lack of a plus/paid account i can't do a poll, but options on witty tags for it (because of course you're interested how often i don't clean my room) are welcome on comments.

btw, does anyone here have a jposuki account? i just gone one myself and i'm pretty scared they're gonna kick me out. so i have a ratio watch of 0.17, uploaded like 160 kb and downloaded around 850 kb, less than to weeks on the forum and 4gb behind before ratio watch was supposed to kick in. did i cross some limit?


p.s. mood emoticons on dw suck too DDDD:

I'm not a layout kind of person so I'm afraid I can't answer your question about that, except to say that DW is full of very helpful people so if you ask in a comm (which doesn't have to be JE related), people will definitely help you out.

As for jpopsuki, I'm not sure of the limits, but what I did when I first joined was download a large file I could tell lots of people wanted too, and then let it *upload* for about three times the value of the download, and that put me in £:1 good standing which I'm still living on. (It wasn't even a file I wanted, I just did it for the ratio.) I can recommend that technique highly.

thanks!
.... i say as if i was the one to have made it XP
i think i got the gif from google?
uh, it's been years since i've changed my layout, but i chose one of the free ones on the settings, like click settings and then go to the display tab and scroll down until you find the site skins and choose one? idk how to add banners and stuff, because i'm lazy like that and i suck at code, but i hope this helps.
idk if i prefer LJ, because my experience in my teens was as a lurker and i felt pretty on the outside looking in, but LJ is pretty much dead now, though a month ago my reading page was empty here on DW too, so we'll see how this second chance goes.
