via journal or pet profile- I'm opting for the journal because it's easier for a not-literate-in-HTML-person like me.

Buuuut the journal decides to put my text centered in...well, the center. So for a person who doesn't really know how to code- any help?

In the first box of the edit layout page, locate this:

.post { border-bottom: 1px dotted black; padding-bottom: 5px; }

Anywhere between the two brackets, add this:

text-align: left;

That will force the text, and title, to the left. If you want the title centered or to the right, add this anywhere in the first box between the style tags:

h1 { text-align: center; }

Replace "center" with "right" if you prefer.

I don't believe it's possible to separate the placement of the "Made by X : X Comments" text and main entry.

After thinking about it, I think I used to fool around with the coding "back in the day". >.>

Right above everything you have, add:

<style type="text/css"> .post { border-bottom: 1px dotted black; padding-bottom: 5px; text-align: left; } h1 { text-align: center; } </style>

Tell me if it doesn't work.

I'm just trying to get this in a basic format- maybe define the borders? (or maybe it's more trouble than it's worth) Dunno.

ty for trying though

The borders weren't anything important, they were just decorations I forgot to delete when I posted.

It seems as if a tag was not closed in the journal feature itself. Does the page work if you replace what I have given you with the following?

<style type="text/css"> .jt_text { text-align: left; } </style>

Do you mean indentation? I know that the following code will indent all paragraphs. Change the number depending on how many pixels you want the indent to be.

p { text-indent:50px; }

hmm. that didn't work- however...

I'm basically trying to get the page to look like this http://subeta.net/journals.php?act=journal&user=593019 hopefully that shows the basic journal background. It is formatted like a book rather than a forum post like this. (the lines jut out to the right)

I just wish the text formatted like it did in the text editor. I just need to learn coding -_-

Yes it is. You may want to keep in mind that changing the width will also change it for the main page. As it is, it should line up with the image for the main page. If you don't want a background color, simply remove the background-color: ; portion.

The code would be in the first box of the layout editing page and the text would be in the page for posting. I don't believe you can even edit individual pages efficiently.
