Image as title - AND - Sticky post?
Is it possible to have the sticky post that comes in this tutorial: Custom Title Component

Also work with this tutorial? Replace the Title Component With an Image

I've got an image as Title Component, and a regular sticky post as first entry in my LJ. I would like it that post appear like the sticky post in the first tutorial (as a component, not a post).

Is it possible?

Thank you!

User vs Theme
Years ago I made a custom layout and didn't know what I was doing, so somehow it's in My Layers as "User" rather than "Theme." It works fine and I've been able to tweak it and all. But now I am trying to learn how to do it right, and I've created a new Theme to practice with.

My question is: I can see where to switch to the new Theme to test it out. But how do I switch back to my working custom layout, which is User, whatever that means? What does it mean, anyway? Can I convert it into a Theme?

Many thanks and sorry if this is OT.

P.S. At http://www.livejournal.com/customize/, under "Your Custom Layers" it only shows me the new Theme I just created. Not my existing customized layout.

A couple things
How do I change the permalink to a picture instead of words/

How would I customize the profile to include a picture that isn't my default icon and my own text?

Another Plus Account Questions
I tried using the header codes that they have here but I didn't want a full custom layout and I tried to use bits and pieces of my knowledge.
But, needless to say, it didn't work.


Does anyone know a plus account header code?

capitalizing the beginning of entries
Fairly new to the component style, but I think I've got it down pretty solidly (see my blog and judge for yourself).

Except for this one thing (that's driving me batty). I'm trying to use this tutorial to capitalize the first letter of the first paragraph in my entries. The tutorial's well-written, but clearly I'm doing something wrong somehow because it doesn't work.

I can't find the """$e.text""" thing that I'm supposed to change later down in the code. In the comments, there's talk of a tutorial in this community, but I wasn't able to find it. I'm guessing the bulk of that code goes somewhere under the heading "custom css modification" that's in my code, but I don't understand precisely where it goes.
